NEARLY COMPLETE! FITTING WIFI & MAKING STUFF. 1993 TALBOT EXPRESS. AUTOSLEEPER SYMPHONY. CAMPERVAN.

#talbotexpress #campervanrefurb #campervanrebuild #fittingmotorhomewifi #bargaindataonlysimcard #autosleepersymphony #autosleeper #campervan
The refurb is getting closer to completion, with only a few things left to do inside the campervan.
Cleaning is nearly done, blinds are going up, plus curtains, Internet and a few little extras for a bit of luxury while being on the road.
It's all definitely coming together and nearing completion to get out on the road and explore a bit of solo vanlife.
This campervan is a 1993 Talbot Express Autosleeper Symphony and was bought without knowing if anything even actually worked inside it. Check out the playlist to see our other videos so far of this campervan refurb, rebuild, renovation!
