Very well done conversion, and well done video! I drive a Delica L400 here in the States, and yours is quite a step up luxury!

Thank you Tom, I’m a fan of the L400 as well 👍

Just doing some research about Delicia D5 conversion and found your video. I think you have done an incredible job with your car. Very good and entertaining video. THX

Brilliant! I have a 2007 Delica D5 myself. Some really excellent ideas.

Thank you 👍. The only downside I can think of, if you convert your D5 like I did, which I didn't mention, is that it becomes a 2 seater of course.

I’ve got to admit that uri is a carpenter I wish I was but with having one to many bike mishaps I’ve got at times a horrendous both hands tremor but I can look on the bright side I could always change long wheelbase transit into a mobile chippie

That fit out looks pricey. Ive got the exact same van over here in Australia, and I'd love that rear fit out.. Well done, and thanks for the scenery footage as well..

The made to measure Walnut wood and the solar panel were the most expensive so, it did go a little over budget.

Hey great setup! Can you explain how you removed the seat anchors on the floor for the middle row? They’re really getting in the way of my design. Thanks!

Hi, can't remember having any specific problem with them. I recall I had a socket spanner on a ratchet wrench to remove the big bolts that anchor it to the floor. Let me know the specific problem that you're having and I'll see if I can remember.

Hello there, New subscriber here!! Nice and to the point videos good Sir! I'm interested in this car too, but I'm bit conservative with insurance etc. Could you please make a video covering the costs of running a car like this in the UK?

Certainly, I will do a segment on it in a future video.

What a great conversion!! Thought of everything!! How do you find the insurance and running costs?

what's the make of the panel heater and would you recomend? thanks

@howslands

It's an infra red heater and I bought from a company called "Warm For Less" online. If your van is reasonably insulated and no bigger than the Delica then yes it will keep you warm in temperatures above about 3 or 4 degrees. See kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIGMs6SgeZuXeMY.html if you haven't already see it.

How much does that car cost?

@howslands

Depends where you are in the World I think. In the UK it cost £10k for a 2008 imported D5 2 years ago and I've probably spent 7k on the conversion, biggest cost being the power station and the solar panel.
