You're a good explorer 💯🙂 and I'm just glad you found a hobby something to drive around in something to save you money something for the summer 🌞 because you work hard exploring😊

[@stuarthall6631]

Colin, that was absolutely incredible! I'll never do anything like this myself but - for some reason - I found myself transfixed by your efforts here! Isn't it just great to see a sad, neglected old thing like this brought back to life ..... and a good life at that!!

[@ronniehaywood2725]

Great vid to watch Colin, takes me back some 50 years when I used to do all my own mechanics and welding, Oxy acetylene in those days no mig lol, can't do these things anymore but its a treat to watch you young uns keeping the art alive, thanks for posting.

[@darrendeight]

Excellent job looks very professionally done. You're really skilled in restoration in and the mechanical side of it.

[@dannywilson5852]

Good job looking good!! Can't wait to see the insulation

[@fhwolthuis]

That isn't looking half bad, Colin! You are pretty handy with the tools. Love the results of this van. Subbed to the new channel.

[@sharonarcher6548]

Amazing Colin how you have transformed that van,❤can’t wait for you to do the inside ❤ stay safe ❤x

[@memorialgardens1664]

Your energy and soul always shines through 🧠💪🙋‍♂️💚🎼 Nathan 🙏

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

I didn't realise how good of a vehicle restorer you are! Well done and I really enjoyed watching this.

[@fellazvintageretro2675]

That was really good to watch. Nice to show you got a lot of talent. Will look forward to you doing this van. Outside already looks awesome. A Nice set of all terrain tyres would make it look even better but cost. very nice. Can't wait to follow

[@MelanieJolie]

Loved it ❤👏🏻 … so impressed with how you’ve given the van a whole new lease of life 😊just subscribed to your new channel & looking forward to watching 👍

[@JR90.]

What a transformation, Colin! Sounds epic too.

[@billienomates1606]

Outstanding work. I would not even know where to start myself. Like n sub.

[@spikeyplants438]

Hi Wow! What a video and transformation of that van.I am so looking forward to all these videos. I would certainly let you work on any of my car problems. 10 out of 10 for workmanship. You certainly keep yourself busy making videos and repairing vehicles.Look forward to next weeks video.Take care.😃

[@karenfountain1352]

Omg Colin, that's bloody amazing,my daughter would love that, much respect to you keep them coming 👏 🙏 ❤️

[@ciaranburke3243]

Nice to see it saved, 5 cylinder and side exit exhaust sound good 👍

[@robertmoorshead2895]

Colin mate I love your channel.. what you do when you go looking for abandoned houses and cars is epic.. I also love going to find them too.. Only problem is I don't get out much now (family commitments) so seeing your videos is a great way for me to still do it!!.. keep up the great work mate. 👍

[@thughes52]

Fantastic idea Colin routing for you 👍you know your knowledge 👍 looking forward to up coming videos ........awesome ,the van from the outside what a turn around ....

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Incredible! Great video. Look forward to the new channel. I really wanted to do this kinda thing when I left school but my dad was having none of it (so sexist) 😢 I'm ok with it now but it's still so cool seeing others restore old vehicles!

[@cbb7983]

Looking forward to checking out the new channel along with this one 😀

[@shanenewport3575]

Nothing better than just cracking on with it yourself if you can do it rather than giving to someone else to do 🙌 Results are always worth it even if it does take some time !

[@timbird5494]

Wow Colin you've done a fantastic job on that can't wait to see the next one 👍👍

[@andrewsmith1068]

[@rstvan]

[@andrew1979ish]

[@gailhickman743]

Well done Colin and friends. 😃 💕 Looking good!

[@philpoole5670]

Competing against Al n Fudge…. You just need a Batman n Robin outfit 🤔😂

[@nealeburgess6756]

Well that's a first. I have just subscribed to a channel with no content!! (The Bearded Restorer) I guess I will have to be patient and wait for the restoration videos to arrive. Best wishes for the new channel.

[@Rob01978]

Really great watch!!! Look forward to seeing more on this build :)

[@fastrace14]

Well done, excellent job on something that was scrap and rusting away, saved from the scrapper will make a brilliant camper.

[@jamiepaton5449]

Mega transformation looks awesome

[@nigelpogson5411]

Well done. Good bit of skill with the welding as well. Looking forward to the new channel.

[@gaynor3976]

Don't know much about restoring cars/vans Colin but you've done a fabulous job on the van. Love the colour and looking forward to watching your second channel xx

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Just found your channel via someone else’s channel.. I have an LT35 and just browsing for some ideas. Owned the van for 8 years(I think) it’s a service van, compressor/electric genny in the back and shelving for tools, flood lights/vice etc. I intend to use it to travel to my Jag which is.. 500 odd miles from my home on Scotland.. I have been majorly distracted from both the van and Jag.. but have been in the van again of late … welding stuff it needs a lot of bodywork more than your van and Intend to fix my doors as good old ones are rare(like the mirror shrouds you mentioned) anyhoo have subbed and look forwards to watching and following your restoration channel.. best Malcolm/Fife/Scotland

[@FRFRANKIE]
