The Dog van: And that's a wrap
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2011/12/and-thats-wrap.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Sunday, 4 December 2011. And that's a wrap. Another one of my interests is the world of "every day carry". Originally borne out of survivalists and what they carry in the wild of the Rocky mountains or similar, it now encompasses urbanites and what they need through the day to "survive". But I digress, this post is about a part of EDC, paracord wraps. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Dog van: Load shelf redux
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2011/08/load-shelf-redux.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Friday, 19 August 2011. I've already covered my first attempt at a load shelf, and perfectly serviceable it was too. However, I knew there was a better use of the space. Once all of this was roughed out I placed an order to Megavanmats for some black carpet. I was tempted to try the mega stretch but as I don't need to cover too many awkward contours, I went for the regular stuff....

The Dog van: June 2011
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Saturday, 11 June 2011. Gone but not forgotten? It's been a while, and in truth not much has happened on the van front up until about a week ago when I got ants in my pants and had to crack on with tidying the rear. So with this all in place it was time to make a new headlining. Using the originals as templates I made duplicates from 3mm hardboard. This was then covered in 3mm upholster...

The Dog van: February 2011
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Friday, 18 February 2011. I wasn't always in security. In a previous employment I was a designer for a switchgear company. Not glitzy or exciting, but good experience. One thing I brought away from it was to take notes. Always have something to write on nearby, be it a book, PDA or the back of a till receipt. You never know when you get an idea. Thursday, 17 February 2011. Quite an easy...

The Dog van: October 2011
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Monday, 31 October 2011. A rather large alteration. Things have changed recently. For the last week my left hand has been a little harder to lift. This is due to my marriage to my ever understanding but often eye rolling fiancée Toni. But back to the wedding, we had lei's from Flower's Up! Which we hung on the back of the guests chairs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'd like to thank.

The Dog van: Carpet bagging
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2011/04/carpet-bagging.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Saturday, 9 April 2011. This has been an eternity in the making. I've waited for some decent time off and decent weather so that I can finally recover the inside of my van. I ordered sand coloured carpet some from Mega van Mats, an offer which included 5 cans of high temperature adhesive. This was delivered very quickly. With some help from my glamorous assistant (my girlfriend) we set ...

The Dog van: January 2011
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Thursday, 27 January 2011. I in turn copied him, and had a bracket made up to fit between the chassis rails. there is plenty of room under the floor - the Eber still sits above the sill line - and the underside is surprisingly clean. Not only that but fitting the combustion intake, exhaust and fuel lines is a lot easier than cutting them into the body. The split charge system is simple ...

The Dog van: May 2014
http://thedogvan.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A (hopefully) step by step of my efforts to convert a previously unloved Volkswagen Transporter into something special. Saturday, 3 May 2014. Is that a ceiling fan or a helicopter? This is the end. My noisy old friend, the end. After 5 years of (fairly) stalwart service, the dog van has taken its last journey to the great campsite in the sky. But on this journey it refused to extinguish. So taking stock I decided now was the time to change vehicles, and looking through autotrader I found a nice looking L...
