Stitches + Steel DIY Conversion Plans

[@jamiesmith5866]

Was feeling a bit down after my O5 T5 MOT disaster...but this has renewed my faith...steering rack here I come 👍🏻

[@stitchesandsteel]

Get it sorted!

[@marcussmith448]

A beauty. The way you view vans has made me much more chilled out about my van. It’s about the purpose, not how pristine it looks.

[@stitchesandsteel]

The T5 Chassis is gonna be a cult vehicle. Don't sweat about fixing them up and keeping them going. Far from a stupid place to put your money!

[@farvertex]

Love the idea of “conversion plans”. Really smart...

[@stitchesandsteel]

Thank you.

[@bensonlifestories]

What a beauty.

[@stitchesandsteel]

Your new one shown up yet?

[@bensonlifestories]

@@stitchesandsteel hopefully on the 30th

[@farvertex]

How very nice. The ceiling system is just AWESOME

[@stitchesandsteel]

Thank you. Gonna go live in DIY instal mode this week too.

[@farvertex]

@@stitchesandsteel how cool!! Is it possible to buy the stencils for furniture and wall panels for this conversion from you? we are outside the UK...

[@stitchesandsteel]

@@farvertex It is something that is on the cards. We're getting our heads around the Kombi and a few other models, then the panels and other items. Thanks for the kind words.

[@BigArch6564]

Cracking idea and great vlog from the lads!

[@delararesadv9140]

I want that S&S rear wheel mount for my barn door! 👍🏻

[@stitchesandsteel]

They're coming. Don't sweat.

[@RichardBCumbrianModelRailways]

Less is more.

[@AgzyCarini]

That is one B-E-A-UTIFUL van

[@stitchesandsteel]

Thank you.

[@Badboyrich1982]

Great work love it :) get some cherry blossom on the bumpers :) \m/dublife 🤙

[@stitchesandsteel]

Pristine bumpers on something this ratty didn't sit too well with us on this one. Cheers for the heads up!

[@h12st_d63]

Are you going to be offering plans for a Kombi too please?

[@stitchesandsteel]

Yes Ma'am. We're nesting the shapes onto the paper as we speak. This time next week we should be good to go. We'll get a film made about that setup too.

[@matthewharrison8121]

@@stitchesandsteel sweet, are you just offering the paper plans, or have you thought about a PDF that those who have access to A0 plotters?

[@Cous1nJack]

@@matthewharrison8121 they may as well put a link to a google drive on the forums themselves. At least paper can only be shared a few times.

[@matthewharrison8121]

@@Cous1nJack yeh you’re right, it’s a shame that’s the case though. People just don’t seem to be prepared to pay for services nowadays. That said, it’s still open to abuse. I know my AO printer also scans. Just got to have some trust in the community 🤞🏼

[@thomasdentith-barnard418]

Rapid build! 🤙

[@stitchesandsteel]

The one day special.

[@andypeel1018]

Chunky wheels & tyres is a quality look. What width are the 18” wheels and what size tyres did you put on them?

[@sterling123.]

6:52 you can see the label on the spare tire: Insa Turbo Ranger 255/55 R18

[@andypeel1018]

@@sterling123. well spotted. Thankyou.

[@Dddddddd348]

Are these still available?

[@nevillebloodybartos]

That rust will just get so much worse and multiply if it’s not addressed ASAP... VW commercials rust quicker than you can weld them up... much better to spend a few extra grand getting a better van than spending every MOT cutting out more and more tin-worm... I hear ya tho... many a good tune played on an older fiddle... and I’d rather drive a rusty Transporter than a pristine Renault Traffic

[@h12st_d63]

Nobody deserves a traffic 🙈

[@jamesraff89]

Epic

[@Olan...]

I don't do Facebook or Instagram etc ....do you have a website where I can see your products ????

[@stitchesandsteel]

Sure do. throw stitches and steel into google or copy and paste www.stitchesandsteel.com

[@Olan...]

@@stitchesandsteel thanks very much

[@carplineout]

The bad is mint need one of them like 👍

[@stitchesandsteel]

Cheers.

[@andreasdahl717]

Perfect!

[@stitchesandsteel]

Thank you. Not quite perfect but that's kinda where the perfection is. They go better a bit dinged up.

[@stewartjackson1821]

Probably stupid question but, will these floor plans be available on your web site and will they cost much. Cheers 👍

[@stitchesandsteel]

Not a Stupid question at all! It's why this video exists. Pannel van LWB + SWB plans are live on the site right now. More models are arriving as we.... excuse the pun... Roll them out.

[@richardsayer1533]

Love it 😍

[@stitchesandsteel]

We wanted to keep it.

[@liquidlowrie2414]

by any chance do you know the wheel and tyre spec ?

[@josefhaimerl2422]

What are your thoughts on crash safety and the hanging bed?

[@stitchesandsteel]

Heya Oskar. Technically it doesn't need testing however... We have used the same rigging and hardware that keeps sails and masts attached to boats. It's constructed and fitted using the best hardware around in a way that keeps it very secure while on the move.
