We bought a VINTAGE Japanese Campervan!

We bought a 1986 Mitsubishi L300 Coach built by Pioneer. What do we think of this then??

OMG, I can't wait to see what you two do with this. It'll be strange not seeing you in the Doblo, but being able to stand and have a bathroom/🚿 will be a game changer. You'll lose the stealth factor but like you said, you can see yourself living in it.

[@ljt3084]

Handbrake is the same as the old VW type 2 bay window campers. Word of caution! They can let go sometimes if the ratchet is worn slightly. I used to hold on to mine at traffic lights on a steep hill. 😂 Love it. Very retro. So much space! You could play table tennis in there compared to Dobbie van. 😂

[@WeWillNomad]

This will be an interesting project.. sure to keep you busy for a while.. probably forever 😋 Enjoy!

[@meta.aesthetica]

Engine swap it for mo power baby!

[@MiNkOYu]

Your new van is like my Doblo with NO Power steering. I have VAZ 2101 and Trabant 601 they are also without power steering.. real fun 😅

[@jimbosinthegymthough]

Love it, such a perfect size for you two! I would say the only thing that’s preventing that vehicle being the perfect replacement for the doblo is the engine. I’m not sure it would be reliable enough or powerful enough to go on some of the adventures you’ve already been on. Anything’s possible though :) look forwards to seeing what you do with it!

[@jamesdavies9520]

This is brilliant. Hilarious to see you both trying to be positive. Rip everything out and make it amazing. I love a Japanese camper. ❤🎉

[@fishingbrigade]

Omg, what a awesome little big project with you Guys love gonna be a dream van .... can't wait to seaing it growing with you lovely people. As always love from Scotland

[@bigcarvao]

what ???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rikkiesix]

You guys will make something nice out of it. I drove a mitsubishi like that in the philippines. I'm six foot 4. It is nearly impossible for me to drive that thing :-)

[@utube5361]

Can u remind me which video that u showed us about the good and strong portable vacuum cleaner that u bought ?

[@TeamAteem]

Portugal / free hot springs in Spain vid!

[@tonytowers5889]

Where are you?????😶

[@TeamAteem]

Busy! Have got a video recorded but not edited yet.

[@trevoroneil3522]

😮

[@sparkyhobo3844]

WOW, you have your work work cut out now !!! Lots of surprises to find as you go I'm sure!!!?? Hoping you didn't pay north of three figures as a project van??

[@Peter-in-Somerset]

I am confident that you have the resources and skills to put this right. A great project for this year. The main benefit for you both here is the SPACE! Maybe you could start by working on the underneath. A bit of welding perhaps and some rust protection?

[@TeamAteem]

It's undersealed already, and has had plenty of welding done too.

[@bobbyswampfox]

Nice one! I look forward to watching some renovations of the Delica. I imported an Isuzu Elf to the States that needed (still needs) a good bit of love! haha

[@MiNkOYu]

BDW.. if you selling the swivel for the Doblo I am interested. ;) Thanks 🙏

[@TeamAteem]

It's not for sale hehe

[@MiNkOYu]

@@TeamAteem i can only try my luck ;)

[@hugoborghifilho8702]

WOW...! Good luck...!!! Next time consider buying a 2013 VW T2 Kombi (like mine) the last year they were produced in Brazil. Quite new. And then, shipping it to Europe. Mine is a panel van with only 49.300 miles on it and in perfect conditions. Her value today is about 7.500 pounds Sterling only, which makes it terribly interesting to acquire and ship it home to the UK. Engine (original) is a VW 1.4 (4 cyl. 86 HP petrol/ethanol water cooled) You may transform it into a high top model for standing up inside for less than 1.000 pounds. Lovely, reliable, fun and nostalgic way to go! There are thousands of "Kombihomes" as we call them around here and parts are cheap and abundant.

[@chetgoodenough8749]

That's exactly what I'm looking for maybe a little newer. Last time I drove a colum shift was a 3 on the tree ford galaxy

[@roaminghereandthere]

❤we are looking forward to see what you pair will get up to with this camper ... nothing like a project to keep up a keen interest in the vlog....all the best and good luck luck in finding parts n pieces you may need👍😊 Rob

[@jonmortermusic]

That's a great little van! Plus you passed a VW California at 11:35 I see

[@markgraham3201]

WOW. Looking forward to future vids with this machine guys. Awesome. :o)

[@onewomanandherdog5219]

So exciting! I'd really enjoy updating the interior but would be terrified of mechanical issues but you have been very 'hands on' with the mechanical issue on the Doblo so it may seem less daunting for you! I'd paint the frames of the cupboards then wrap the doors in some funky fabric with matching seat covers. I bet you end up sleeping on the big bed but the overhead one will be great for storing the duvet during the day x

[@BarryThacker-t5l]

Fix the windows and bathroom floor, roll like it is. I think it is nice.

[@TravelWithTheLinthwaites]

I love it ❤ I hope you do a build series on this. I’ll be hooked!!!! I’m so excited for you both 🎉🎉🎉

[@mishirin6702]

Thats mean, no more stealth camp right ?

[@TeamAteem]

We still have the Doblo

[@mnbvc907]

I love your vids, but honestly I 've always wondered how you two managed in one bed which would have been too narrow for me alone. 😊

[@MiNkOYu]

Congratulations..it does look great. I am sure you two will make it nice and cosy. Safe trips

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Congrats on the new project. We have total faith that you two can turn that into a cosy home 👍

[@TeamAteem]

Feel free to come give us a hand 🤣

[@stevewild4449]

Love it ! once you work your magic on it and customise it to your needs it will be a great space to live 👍👍

[@iansellars4153]

Love it, cannot wait to see you take it round the Nurburgring ....

[@TeamAteem]

Haha unfortunately it won't be allowed on!

[@abfan8333]

69.000 miles is amazing for the age of the camper, interesting to see what u do with it

[@sargacsekkeknelkul]

Congrat for your new vehicle! Very cool car! 🤘😀

[@safetyfirst5917]

This thing is badass, it's the same model as the blue van from my summer car.

[@adawarenessawareness]

I reeeeally hope you've got this gifted

[@TeamAteem]

That would be nice 🤣

[@TheMyszka8685]

More episodes about new van some restoration please 🙏 😂😂

[@kimberlyhendren2097]

New subscriber! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this!! Very cool! Don't eat those chocolates! Lol. Goldfish in the window! Brilliant

[@TeamAteem]

Unfortunately no more videos from this one as we sold it!

[@fredyyfredfreddy]

Is there anyone who imports these to the UK?

[@pauljones540]

good luck guys time and effort will pay off

[@atanasatanasov3180]

littel work, everyting is good😊😊😊

[@fredyyfredfreddy]

How much did you pay btw?

[@alexe1563]

Wow. How cute. Can't wait to see what you make of it.

[@muddymarvellous]

Interesting 🧐 the beds good 😊

[@tonytowers5889]

.😲, but super luck to you both!

[@elvisdepelvis4431]

If there is a smell in there, it must be the smell of adventure 😅 I can see how this would be a real upgrade to your Dobby. I hope parts are still available 🤞

[@TeamAteem]

Smells like 💩🤣

[@grahamlewis9656]

what a great project!

[@cornishhh]

Sorry to be negative, but that will use twice the fuel of your Doblo and spares will be expensive; if you can get them. Plus it isn't stealthy. I can see the attraction of the extra space. Looks like you were in Burnham on Sea.

[@TeamAteem]

Yes of course these are things to consider. Not quite Burnham-on-sea.

[@cornishhh]

@@TeamAteem The southern end of WSM then. I'm sure you've got used to the column change and warm seats by now. Good luck with it anyway. The only L300 campers I've seen in recent years have been on Dutch plates.

[@chrisriddles9460]

Wow. What a change in concept, Micro to Macro, if anyone can make a success of this you two can. Is there any damp in the wooden construction, I am looking forward to more videos on this project.. Well done guys.

[@TeamAteem]

Haven't investigated too far but I do believe one of the rear corners is a bit damp!

[@chrisriddles9460]

@@TeamAteem Hi Guys, Have you used a damp meter on it. Might be an idea if you haven't. I hope it is all sound. Chris

[@brianpurcell9058]

Hope them pockets are deep ! 🤣

[@TeamAteem]

They're not 🤣

[@keithlivingstone2525]

Does that mean we will have to do you a new ceramic heart? 😁

[@TeamAteem]

Maybe hold fire on that 😁

[@nigelyarwood1581]

Love u guys but 1 question on the van why

[@TeamAteem]

Why? Omar saw it and had to have it that's why haha!

[@husbilssnack8478]

What have you done?😂

[@TeamAteem]

Don't know 🤭

[@TheMyszka8685]

What about Doblo???

[@TeamAteem]

We said in the video 🤔

[@TeePee72]

That horrible device should be donated to Top Gear...

[@TeamAteem]

Disagree!
