We Built A Tiki Bar In Our VAN - Budget Van Build

We worked for 2 full days on Tortuga Blanca and kept the total cost of the build under $2500. I have always wanted to build a tiki bar and the opportunity presented itself in the form of a 1986 Ford E250 van. Hope you guys enjoy the shenanigans!

Only one word for the build !,,,,,,,,,,,,,, FANTASTIC ❤

[@lawrenceb-go6ul]

You can make storage compartments where you put the wood paneling over the back doors and in there hold glasses for your bar setup just an idea

[@rondamon8004]

Sort of the same idea I was thinking. Great place for storage and even put small table shelves that can drop down.

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

I WOULD ADD A HINDGE TABLE ON EACH OF THE BACK DOORS FOR THE BAR.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Great idea!

[@christopherohara9421]

You should have gotten some harbor freight solar panels it can run everything in the back led lights fan

[@Itsmecoolgurl]

Missed opportunity with this van! Awww hum bug! Turned out nice tho

[@dennissanborn3159]

night shots of the van are perfect

[@OdySlim]

Awesome van too!

[@TheHord]

The episodes of the van transformation have me rolling, love it! All 3 of you make an awesome team coming up with great ideas. Having fun and laughs along the way too, is the best part! 🍻

[@sanfordrhudy774]

Great transformation! You all should drive it back and show the original owner your work. I'll bet he will absolutely love it.

[@ericruud4412]

Can' t wait to see! You guys need to do a road trip video maybe driving up the coast in the van and letting us ride along..

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Love that idea!

[@erictooke3850]

Feels like home..seeing the Ventura Raceway hoodie!

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Great work guys. Central California watching

[@redemption1933]

Brilliant concept. I've never seen this done before. Simply outstanding.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Ahh thank you so much!!!

[@bigtruckndriver]

If you added copper or brass tubes to back doors on an angle, you could slide you touches in and have them on the barn doors, for lights and mosquito citronella oil.

[@puppygadget3189]

That’s a really cool trailer that would sure look good behind the van. Love the stain you did on the door panels on the back doors 🚘🚗😎

[@karencastle6002]

OMG, I truly love this van. It's my dream van.

[@davidmorisset2396]

U guys are amazing ! Lucky to have each other ! Content is awesome ! Enjoy going along on your adventures 👍❤️

[@diverdown68]

The 2 holes by the stove, drop a couple usb ports in (alread running power to the cook top so should be an easy and cheap add), can use that to drop a usb fan, that can suck away any steam/smoke from the cooktop.... Or charge your phone, 🤳

[@donnanhuggler8451]

Nice mystery machine !!! If you’re limiting the gally to a pump sink and single induction then might as well put an ice maker in that and an outdoor grilling station

[@bobtucker8875]

Simply amazing what you guys done in a couple days. Have fun an enjoy 😉.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Bob!

Not sure if she is a girlfriend or sister, but she is awesome. Enjoy that camper and make memories. Send the old owner pictures. I’m am sure he will enjoy seeing that he sold it to people who are going to love it as he did. Make it yours. The White Turtle.

[@vonheise]

[@LesMorrisracing]

How funny I redid a White van too I put carpet on the floor

[@traviscross5128]

The car shifter part 😂😂😂

[@annwithaplan9766]

Good job there. Looks like you scratched the surface of your new stove top.😐Try not sliding pans around on it. That was also a great price you paid for the van.

[@stephenwilson4530]

Insulation would've been smart too stove should've been portable to use outside

[@antinioacosta2710]

You make a great team.👍🇵🇷

[@meinname777]

builds storage space or shelves in the cavities of the doors at the back

[@jjxjxjxj]

Hurry up!

[@MC-lk9zi]

💡🧐🤔I wonder if they turned the faucet the other way with the lever in the back instead of the side

[@elwoodsummersjr596]

26 minutes and counting…..

[@harleydavidson521]

Dang guys. I was getting so sea sick with all the camera action of going back and forth, over here and over there, that I just couldn't watch more than the first 5 minutes of the channel. I hope you change the quick action, MTV video style format to a slower story telling one.

[@bobbysmith8120]

I just wish the video would play 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
