As I watch you guys do your thing, I find I really like watching you guys fix all these boring refrigerator white vans. What I like about it is for the most part, they seem to be designed and built to actually be repairable. It’s pretty amazing how your able to fairly quickly get these apart and back together in a reasonable amount of time and how available replacement parts are and how affordable they are for the most part. Looking forward to the next episode on this van.

Can’t go wrong with an electricians van, often very light usage compared to a lot of other trades. Before my dad could afford brand new ones as a bricky, he would often try to seek them out when they were chopping them in as part ex.
