- There's something quite therapeutic about watching van builds, it could be the promise of adventure. We've decided to compile Blake's complete Ford Transit camper conversion so you can watch the build from start to finish.

The dent he put in the rear
Blake and Martin, great job. I enjoyed watching from the start. Working from scratch is hard work. Picking the vehicle, the design, build. Hard work!!. Enjoy it with the family.
One of the best 3 and a half hours spent online, thank you Blake!
One of my favorite series on the youtubes.
Blake is awesome. This video is great. Cheers from Utah, USA!
Thanks for watching, did you get to see the solar eclipse where you are?
god damn blake fair play bloody love it
Amazing. Nice work. I never image that it was going to be so functional and nice. Best 3h on CZcams.
Glad we exceeded your expectations 🤙
That's really good stuff, Blake.
Thanks 🤘
Damn, Blake is a real goofball! It's a good thing he's got great help in Mr. Jones of BareMetalBuilds!!! Blakes Measurements are now suspect because of his measurement tool? Mr Jones and Blake are nuckin futs!!!! It's pretty apparent that this project could not be done without Mr Jones...My Dad use to build custom Hot Rods and I know hard paint work is. I've never even seen a Portable, Inflatable Paint booth before....Clever! It's a good thing that Martin is almost as goofy as Blake....I'm sure it made the project easier I'm sure! What a beautiful result boys! Great Job!
Blake what's going on with those Manitou Forks? It's a good thing that Martin is a great sport!......Congrats Blake on your new Baby Boy! I have seen Blake surf and he can tear it up! Do you english blokes ever drink Coffee? Also why do you Limeys put so much milk in your tea? Don't you actually like the taste of Tea? I watched all 3.5 hours and enjoyed every minute...thanks Blake and Martin!
It was the "Baie dankie meneer" that did it for me! New to mountain biking but absolutely chuffed I got one! Great show and channel @gmbn ! Howzit from 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Absolutely loved watching this, might watch it again actually!!!
WOW! It was an adventure to build that thing, can't wait to see what comes of it!
I always like to watch Blake's projects!!! He's clever, smart and hard working ....all the proper ingredients you need for success! Are you gonna have room left for a bike or two?
Might have to buy a MTB just so I can get on and do a van project.
Blake and Martin, I enjoyed this build to the end. Great job. I admire your work on the garage work center as well. Always improving right?
Got me through my Monday at work. Bless you :)
Perfect! Thanks for watching 🤘
Loved this build. 👍
sick build love to see more of this stuff on the channel
Just watched the whole build, absolutely brilliant. Damn shame you sold it, though no doubt you got a hell of a wedge for it 👌🏻
Nice!!!
It is different experience to see you without helmet ;D
Love the van - many great ideas. The only thing i just cant get over is the blue LEDs everywhere. I built a van myself over the past few years and i went to great lengths to avoid any visible blue lights in the living area (wich is quite hard to do as every manufacturer of any electronic thing seems to always slap a blue LED somewhere just to make their product look more futuristic).
Blake ! ❤
Hey I’m a twelve year old and I want to start mountain biking and I have a proper helmet and gloves from my uncle who’s a professional so do you have any tips? It would be really helpful.
The most impressive part is how he turned a Mercedes Sprinter into a Ford Transit!
😳
Oh Blake why’d you sold it? was looking forward far an epic Mtb x camper van video, missed those vids. Love the RAL 250 60 10 Color and the entire setup. Cheers!
And where are the Rouge and Lion Beers? Mush van. 👌
Blake, you are a legend!!! Nice video
how much did it cost everything in total?
I thought i was watching donut media for a bit. 😆
The whole van is amazing, but... there are only 2 seats with seatbelts. How are four people going to travel in it?
Always nice to see dismantled piece of ep6 trash)
I wish
Hi Blake! I love your dyi videos. we'll make an agreement :-) I would like to buy an old bike from you (perhaps for 1 CZK) a lot of joy in the Czech Republic for a good price 😊 (and you will free up space for a new one❤) let me know if you are interested 😉
I still didn't get the color... 😭
If you have time - wait a year or two. Electric Vans have been proven to be vastly superior to yesteryear's carcinogenic oil burners - and they are about to flood the market. Especially in comfort, versatility and usable space. Used an electric Van from China (Maxus Deliver) while moving last month. Had to use a same (exterior) sized diesel (Mercedes Sprinter) in the second week 🤢 Virtually no power & noisy af when trying to convert hundrets of kWh into some forward movement at 3 000 - 4 200 rpm. And the Mercedes had 200 kg less weight capacity (825 vs 1076 in the maxus) in its cramped cargo space - which really sucked since i had to move large and heavy furniture and appliances. Oh and the stereo sucked in the Mercedes (like they do in every Mercedes/VW). Which doesn't matter that much i guess, since you mostly hear the vibration and noise from the burner engine anyway. If you are the kind of guy/girl that likes that, do yourself a favour and _never_ drive an electric van :)
p.s. "Sprinter" should be in quotation marks 😂 it has no sprinting capacity whatsoever.
Why not buy a van that is slightly larger so that you have room for a decent toilet/shower?
He did explain at the very start of the video....
Didn't he sell it more or less as soon as he completed it, and now drives a Subaru?
Blake has sold it now, but it was only recently! 🤙
Real shame, as he did an awesome job on it 😢
@@gmbn that seems a bit outrageous, I’d keep something like this FOREVER!
Would do the same for profit.
Maybe he wants a bigger one 🤷♂️😁
