[@LoveSundays]

I may not be able to reply to all your messages today as my self and my wife have had our baby. I will 100% read all your comments though. I hope you’re all having a fantastic Sunday

[@tonyBobb5209]

Congratulations to you both on your new addition. My partner is being induced tomorrow, our son should be born anytime next week. New merch for the channel I.e. baby grows 😉👌🏼 Once again, congratulations to you and your wife on the latest addition to your family. Have a lovely day.

[@LoveSundays]

Best of luck with your partners induction tomorrow mate

[@benhartland4690]

Yaay, congrats to you and Kate. Look after her 😊

[@theshoe67]

congrats mate all the very best

[@Dailydrivencamper]

OMG 🎉 congratulations

[@Tugga74]

To get your bumper back on, you need a piece of wood (to go over the clip) and a mallet to gently but firmly hit it with! Do each one individually and it will work. If you don’t have a mallet, use the side of a hammer. Good luck 👍

[@annbuckle5880]

Loved you dancing outside the van getting the string through the hose it reminded me of my granddaughter doing her funny dancing congratulations to you both your world has now changed forever

[@cphcarbon7160]

You are the cable tie master !

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Congratulations on the birth of your baby and another good video 👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@TerryTrackerChannel]

I was gonna say, sounds exactly the same haha

[@johnavery15]

A vacuum cleaner is great for sucking a pull cord through the flexi conduit. Tape the pull cord to a piece of paper towel or a small rag.

Many congratulation to you both on the birth of the gorgeous Charlie. It was a lovely photo on Facebook. Hope you are both not too sleep deprived. I remember it well.

[@DroneHDTV]

Congrats firstly, and im glad you are making use of the 120 quid gun lol which you can by for less than 20 at most quality DIY stores

[@Lovehors4s]

They do say necessity is the mother of invention! Loving the videos and congratulations on becoming a dad🎉!

[@petehall9827]

That's just a whole world of pain messing with those trim pieces,I reckon you did the right thing leaving the rest alone Shaun.

[@leemcilhatton7841]

Congratulations to you and the wife I hope all is well

[@bunnybasheruk]

Congratulations on the birth of the little one Shaun, I hope mother & baby are both doing fine. I can't wait to see the end result of this van build mate.

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks mate

[@ThatGuyAli_]

I love this van series! Congratulations to you and your wife, Its a Love son-days from now on :)

[@thenullco]

Great cable tie tricks. And congratulations!

[@dmmcharrie2698]

Congratulations to you both on your new baby! 🎉🎉

[@tonyBobb5209]

Love Sundays! Another great video! In regards to the rope running from end to end on the conduit, this is a method we use at work. Forward thinking, when you use that rope to pull your cables through, ensure you back rope it, I.e. attach a rope to the cable you're pulling through so you can pull future cables in should you want anything else installed I.e. ambient lighting, sound system for a cinema, etc... Keep up the great work. To all, have a wonderful Sunday.

[@LoveSundays]

Great tip!

[@andym1908]

Coming together slowly Shaun. Congratulations on the birth of Charlie 👏👌👍

Thanks Andrew

[@davep5972]

Yeh I’d use a rubber mallet I’m sure that would sort it mate

[@jasonwhite745]

Congratulations Shaun on your birth! Hope all is good! Waited all night to watch the best channel on here!, 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@SiRhodesDriverTraining]

Congratulations to your Wife & yourself, I hope the little one is ok. Regarding the side door trim, it doesn’t matter now but I bet that glue you had trouble with wasn’t to stop water, I reckon the trim had been off previously, .probably for a repair to the door as it has to come off to get to the hinge bolts. That, and the membrane already having a hole in it, point towards someone having been there before and rather than replace a few broken clips, they glued it on with the strongest glue in the world 😂

[@ianpawson-vanlife-mcr]

It's looking awesome..... and once again congratulations on the little one arriving

[@098anne]

Congratulations on the new addition to your fam!

[@iancliveedwards]

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks Sarah

[@johnregan3591]

Congratulations to you both 👶🎉. Don't worry about the lack of sleep its suprising how you can manage with not alot of it and its definitely worth it 👍

[@Helenlouisee]

Funniest video so far lol 😂 my blokes going to be getting a new van after Christmas and these videos are gna be watched a million times when we start converting it lol 😂 so glad your showing each step 😊

[@markkenny6983]

Good tip for your mouse. stick a plastic bag on the end of the string, shove it in the pipe and suck it through from the other end with a hoover👍

[@jackoconnell8623]

Genuinely cannot wait to this this van done. Loving the detailed aspects of the build, this will serve as a very useful guide for someone again when doing their own conversion.

[@kathybutler881]

Congratulations to you both, hope baby is doing well...

[@andrewrowlands]

Enjoying your build videos mate congrats to you and your family 👶🏻

[@hunty1970]

Nice I Shaun. I follow Combe Valley Campers for all of my insulation, sound deadening tips. Really great vlogs. I would put a bit more sound deadening on those panels though. It’s a bit more expensive, but I’ve covered most of the panels and it makes a massive difference. Think VW doors when they shut, a nice thud when you tap the panel.

[@Luminoussound2024]

First of all a huge congratulations to you both with the wonderful baby boy you got and so happy for you both 🙏, 2nd of all the van is coming together bit by bit as your doing a great job on it 🔥

[@stevenshuttleworth2172]

Congratulations on the new arrival

[@simonamos9468]

Some great tips thankyou .

[@Yvonneb_]

First of all Congratulations to you both, secondly great video x x

[@BrianMaynardLetsDoThisThing]

If you forget to put string in. Just bunch some string up on one side (big knot) and use a vacuumed cleaner to on the other side. It will suck the sting though. Very easy

[@jillybodhitaylor7616]

Great vlog you are the master with cable ties I feel like I have just learnt 2 of the best life hacks haha Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy too xx

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks Jilly 😊

[@johnfoster3286]

The clips that have broken off could be reattached to the trim by welding (using a hot soldering iron) and also melt some extra hard plastic around the join. There are also various hard plastic glues that I have successfully used but make sure the glue works on "hard" plastic. For cleaning surfaces use acetone on a rag but be careful as it will "melt" the cellulose paint (also works well on PVC window frames1)

[@terristott7433]

Congratulations 🍼🍼🎉to you both

[@robcame1275]

Congratulations to you both Shaun .Family comes first mate .We all know you will read our comments when you can and the build is coming along great.

Thanks 👍

[@nigelbarrett3602]

Really enjoying the van build it will be amazing when finished keep up the good work Shaun 👍. Also congratulations to you both on your new addition to the family 👪.

[@AndyWood71]

Love watching these video’s think your going to need a lot more sound deadening for it to make a difference.

[@keithleesley5979]

Congratulations on your new addition, enjoying the van build, all that attention to detail will be really worth it in the end, brilliant so far

[@vlads9361]

Congratulations and all on a Sunday! Keep up the good work. Van build looks to be a great one.

[@howardpatience1029]

Congratulations to you both. Well done , great news 🎉

[@andrewscott6339]

Congratulations 🎉👏...loving the van rebuild

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

I can't believe you didn't clean the whole panel while it was off ! That's not done my ocd anxiety any good !! 😉

[@fire_stick]

Easiest way to run you pull string is to tie a piece of material or part of a rubber glove, then feed it down one end, then get a “hoover “ and suck it through from the other end. Thanks for the update, hope you family is doing well, you must be close if not already welcomed your baby into the world 🐣

[@LoveSundays]

Great advice thank you. Yes the baby has arrived check out my Instagram for pictures @lovesundays84

What did they use? Wrigleys spearmint?

The van is coming along and you are so right, when left alone work gets done now...... Well done to you both, I hope that everything went smoothly and baby and mum are in good health. Of course we all need to see the new little surf dude . Stay safe and well to you all

[@mark_just_mark]

Have you thought of adding the series number in the title…please! 😎 Trying to watch the series and only really get through one or two at a time, and when watching on a smart TV the playlist isn’t obvious…

[@Welshandproud1970]

Great video again Mat. Congrats to the both of you on the birth of your baby. Welcome to the world little one 👶

[@sifromearth]

I am already enjoying this build series alot as it's great for others who are planning similar projects. Huge congratulations to you both on the birth and best wishes/good health to you all in the future :-) 🙏

[@dalegreenacre2635]

I think sound deadening best to cover about 50 percent

Another great video I love watching the van build coming together, keep the content coming buddy

[@keithmccrudden6681]

Those trim clips have seals on and new ones won’t leak. U should of just changed the panel and clips is all. The mastic over kill. Good vids tho keep up the good work

[@CornishGeri]

Another great video and congratulations to you both. I’ve a little old camper and loving every minute being out and about. Take care. X

[@alanmaddern8171]

Hi Shaun, another good vlog. I love seeing you outside trying to get the cord through the conduit (maybe try for the Olympic Ribbon) 😆🤣 Congrats on your new arrival. Any names yet?? Looking forward to the next vlog, Rgds Alan

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks Alan. If you have Instagram there’s some photos on there of the Boy. His name is Charlie

[@marvinwatson3245]

Good luck with your new van build. i am not a ford person. I will stick with my Vauxhall Vivaro stealth camper. Just finishing the van build, off on adventures soon, Scotland bound.

[@retrorecharge86]

Congratulations. When i done my van dodomat recommended 50% coverage per panel with the sound deadening

[@LoveSundays]

Yea I’ve heard mixed things with it. It you just want to take the rattle out of the panel you can just put a small area on. If you want to sound proof the van you’d need to use a lot more

[@retrorecharge86]

@@LoveSundays ah fair play mate,maybe I would of saved a bit of money of I had done it that way 😃

[@dannywickens3368]

Crack on Shaun, i do believe i done the one thousand like! Best wishes and pls keep em coming👍👍

[@Nivlek76]

Looking at the design of the trim on the door, is it possible that the clips should be fitted to the van first and then the trim put into place and slid to lock it in?!

[@lin7284]

Hadn't thought about sealing the trim holes initially -

[@gedtierney374]

Whenever pulling cables through conduit using a draw string (mouse) don’t forget to pull another draw string through at the same time. It doesn’t take up much room and is always available if you need to pull something through in the future.

[@LoveSundays]

Good advice

[@Sidchasingclassiccars]

You've certainly got plenty of content for the time being buddy. 👍

[@jonstephens682]

Hi Shaun, now that was a funny video, testing the sound deadening oh it sound the same 😂😂 and you looked like one off those dancers you see with the ribbon on the olympics with the string and screw. Very good video mate you had me laughing 😊

Thanks for all the helpful hints, i didnt know about the cable tie in particular. Really cool video mate and congrats on new bub hope you guys are managing to get some sleep.

[@hippydude1]

Exciting times mate. Looking forward to seeing it done. I've done a few van self builds but nothing that big . Good luck

[@philipgolder7153]

I done the same with battery had a little panel above the battery for cut off switch and fuses but wish I put a battery on the other side as a back up as well before I got to far into the build

[@danielp.52]

Another handyman with no experience in another video wanted to insert the line of wire attached outside the wall inside the wall cavities, so he cut the cables and experienced a lot of troubles reconnecting them even though the wires are color coded. There were bad connection identified by the computer. It took him two days to solve the problem. SO, NEVER MEDDLE WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED WIRES TO SAVE TROUBLE. Just go around them.

[@leeharris3645]

Probably been removed before for painting or something. They broke the clips and sealed them back on. Hard to remove van trim without a few busted clips

[@Bracebarian]

Happy Sunday. So if you had your time again would you have sealed the first panel from the inside, or you happy that you took the panel off?

[@LoveSundays]

Looking at the job from sealing the panels from the inside I probably would’ve left the sliding door one in place. I didn’t show it in the video but I had to take the rear door panels off because you can’t access all the clips from the inside. If you’re going to take a panel off I think it’s better to jot remove all clips like I did as it made it very difficult to line up when putting it back on

[@MattNowell]

YOURE A LEGEND

[@LoveSundays]

Cheers Matt

[@markplenty2631]

I'm one of those that if I decide it's running inside, I will make it all run inside and that usually takes so much time and half the way through I'm regretting it severely but I've started so I have to finish but when it's done I'm hoping to god I'll never have to do it again. 😂

[@lesklower7281]

Preperation so impotant building a camper van well done and with those trim clips getting that old goo of what a horrible job somebody had been there before can stuff up your day but you perceived and you got the jobs done

[@jessiceeoriginal]

Well... question. Uhmm... maybe a rubber mallet would of helped getting the panel back on? 🤷‍♀️

[@leamcarroll4343]

are u putting the diesel heater in this van aswell u might be able to use one of the holes for the exsorst

[@kev6170]

Looks like a Marples chisel ,sacrilege. Guess your in big trouble again😀

Yep. He asked me about it today! 😂

[@AMPLEDOCK]

Hi What is the non drying sealant you’re using? There’s so many online. Any product name or links would be awesome! Cheers en

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Hi shaun great video i was laughing at you playing spin the pipe in the car park did you get it to whistle lol. I used soft sealant on the side trims they click in ok then it might be the sealant you have is thick. Also could you not run the ducting along the botton drivers side then come up at either end. Its coming along great loving seeing you build it out 👍 hope the wife and little one are well stay safe see you next sunday. 🫶

[@LoveSundays]

Yea I think it was too thick. It’s not currently leaking but I might pop it off and start again for another mental breakdown 😂

[@jessiceeoriginal]

I have another question for you. What plan of action do you have if there is a fire inside of the van?

[@LoveSundays]

Fire extinguishers lots of them

[@jessiceeoriginal]

@@LoveSundays lol. That's a good idea. 😁 FYI, you probably don't have this in the UK. But in the US, there is a product that is called a fire blanket. It is in a compacted bag and you unfolded from the bag and throw it over the fire.
