The overspray idea is a good one. But it soon comes off with white spirit. Awesome Jay 😊👍
True but isn’t prevention better than cute
That’s a great job. I want to do it to the van I just bought but I have NO CLUE WHAT I AM DOING . Thanks for the Video
No problem at all. Glad it helped please consider subscribing
Looks like you've made a great job of it mate 👍, me and the wife did ours about 4 years ago in one continuous piece, front to back using the spoon method :), was well chuffed with the result. To be honest now you've done your own, taking your time and making sure its right, you will notice a lot of the professional converter carpeting jobs are not has good has you first thought they were,
Thanks for the comment mate. To be honest I totally agree with you. I saw some vans at the start and thought they was amazing. As I have learnt more and more I see how poor they actually are
Thanks for the video! I've decided to carpet mine now so gunna hopefully tackle it this weekend!
Awesome Will. No problem at all. You will do an awesome job 🙌
I wish I had your level of patience!!
Is that a Chevette in the garage?
Thank you. I don’t feel too patient some times 😂. Yes that’s correct. Chevette saloon. I start a full restoration on it this summer with a full video series also 🙌
BEAUTIFUL! Well done! Thanks for sharing.
No problem
Very nice job and clearly explained. dude. Looking forward converting my one.
Another great vid Jay.
I fitted my own windows from Camper Glass to my 5.1 a week or so back. I'm very OCD with stuff and went to great lengths to ensure all the cut metal edges were properly filed and painted.
At the moment I'm half the way through fitting my sound deadening and insulation....just removed the crappy old ply floor today.
I will probably be doing my carpeting in about a week....strangely I'm looking forward to it. In reference to your carpeting vid I was interested to see how you carpeted up to and around the windows. I also have knock on edge trim, I thought you might have carpeted up over the rubber trim. In other words up to the glass itself. I have thought about doing this but I'm honestly in two minds.
I will also be fitting a pop top....I'm sure I heard you say in your windows vid that you found fitting this to be easier over glass?
My thinking is that I will do this in a month after sheeting up inside and before I build any furniture.
I've been getting more addicted to the build lately....much to the other half's delight! 🤔😐🙄🤣
Hey mate. Wow long message 😝. To be honest I think carpeting under the trim looks a lot better myself and I really don’t think the carpet would stick to the seal very good and I think it would be very very hard to make it look nice
Awesome job always explained clearly hope jasper ok nice to see you safe and well
Did you see him?
Nice work, looks like a great finish, will be carpeting my own over the coming weeks, I'd be interested to see how you tackled the sliding door and barn doors too. Enjoying watching the transformation 👍
Hey matey. Thanks for the comment. Yeah I feel it’s come out well. Keep my informed how you get on. I’m doing them really soon. I think I’m actually going to take the sliding door off. You don’t have to but I really like the idea of cleaning all the runners and doing the best job I can. Barn door I think I’ll just back mask the body and open the door wide and take my time. All coming in the next couple of weeks though hopefully
I think....you r so good to explane this job and u work very well broooooo . Cogratulations
Thank you Luca. Very kind of you to say so
Well done bro! That’s as good, if not better than a professional finish. 👌🏼🔥
Thanks bro
Fantastic job. The door panels would look good in the diamond leather.
Thanks bro. Think I’m going to do the barn door lower panels in that and the sun visors too
Nice job.
Thank you
Great job Jay, taking shape nicely 👍
Cheers mate. Slowest build ever 😂
Jay .. You do nice work it's looking better all the time great job!
Thank you Terry. Very kind of you to say so
Looks great Jay!!! Another professional job!!!
Thank you John
Very good work
Another very well delivered tutorial.
Thank you Lee. Very appreciated mateyb
Love this build jay. Am going to rip my inside out next year, and re design mine. Keep up the good work mate👌👍
Thank you mate. Awesome you will do a great job
Nice join around the back door frame none of that on the vans ive done all one piece 😉
New subscriber here. Great collection of videos mate. Just bought a 2008 T5 shuttle to self build so will come in handy!
Awesome Neil thank you
Nice job bud, I hated doing mine with a passion, doing a full side in one piece isn't easy is it lol. My biggest tip for anyone about to do this is a nice pillow for ya knees haha
Hey matey. Yeah it definitely wasn’t an easy task to be honest. I had a sweat on that’s for shore 😝. Yeah definitely a great tip for the knees
Great video as always ,keep them coming 👍
Thank you Colin. Will do 👌
top job i would be proud of that fit and finish too.
Thank you matey. Very kind
Nice job Jay, looks brilliant
Thank you Ross.
Love the tips, gonna head out and sort my doors now!!!
thumbs up just for the wooden spoon!
👌👌
Nice work Jay and great tips.. Still have mine to carpet out so good tips like yours and explanations are brilliant! 😁✌🏽
Awesome. Glad to be of help. Keep me informed how you get on. You will do an amazing job I’m sure
Jay Saunders thanks man, appreciate the support! ✌🏽
Nice job Jay looking good mate
Thank you
Did you take rubber trim off around windows before carpeting???
No I tucked it in after I cut slightly longer than the seals
Fantastic job!
Thank you
Hi mate just watched your video . Amazing finish . You used 12 metre of carpet . Is that 24 metre square then ? I'm about to do the same in my van (lwb) thanks Jay.
Looking good Jay..🚙
Thank you Carolyn
Grate job !! in summer i will do the same to my interior im T5 :D :D
Awesome. Let me know how you get one matey. Best of luck just take your time it’s not that hard to achieve great results
Very nice Jay looks great ❤️
Thanks Shawn
💯
Great job as always Jay, not a job I would take on to be fair as me and glue is not advised lol
Just noticed the shave half way through
😂 Thanks mate. Yeah I had to work. Well spotted though 👌
Safe is't safe anymore😃
Awesome video dude, top job 👌
Thanks bro
Jay nice work mate as always! love the van and colour scheme it’s very much similar to mine.
Can I ask is the wooden spoon exclusive for the T5 community only? Would love one for mine to match the T5 oven gloves I recently done a vid on that double up as sun visor covers 😂💪
Thanks matey. 😂 no exclusive to all communities 😝
Will you help me convert my transit custom swb van ?
Sorry I don’t take on outside work
I’m about to order mine. What a difference it makes. Looks good👍🏻
Can you still access the rear lights to change bulbs etc if needed bud?
Hey John. Thank you mate yes the rear lights on mine are held in with two screws so bulb access is done from outside anyway if that makes sense
Jay Saunders. Ahh yea sound job that then. Cheers bud
Your videos are brilliant Jay, hats off to you. So informative, helpful and you are genuinely looking out for the enthusiast to ensure they get the best result from their efforts. I will 100% be using your videos for guidance. Cheers, Tom
Thanks Tom. Very kind of you to say so. I try my best
Who did you use for the carpet supplier?
Super nice look Jay.
Thank you matey
@@JaysFabShop were did you get your steering wheel from mate
Just off eBay mate. Brought the airbag separate but if you wait long enough they come up from time to time
@@JaysFabShop ok thanks mate nice bus I've got my self 1 now 👍
looking good
Thanks
Hi jay
I’m sure in one of your vids I spotted some black Bentley leather which you had covered something with, if so could you please let me know where you purchased it from. Great vids by the way, cheers Phil.
Hey Phil. Thank for the kind words matey. That’s correct mate I’ve used it throughout my build. Awesome stuff. The place I got it from no longer trade I’m afraid. I brought a big roll but still have some left if you are after some? You can contact me on social media if so and can send pics etc of what’s left. Thanks
Jay Saunders
Thank you jay, I will contact you after this bank holiday if ok. Thank you 🙏
Great videos really helpful. where did you get your swivel bases from? And the safe under the passenger seat? Just what we are looking for!
Hey mate thanks. I did a fitting video where all the links are on that video mate. The recaros one. Hope that helps.
Is that a nova in the background
Looks nice, how do you deal with the overlapping join at the back between the rear pillars as it goes over the roof. Hopefully doing this to mine next year.
I just butted them up to each other. Spray glue the carpet and cut the ends off and then but them up. Can’t really see the joins to be fair even when looking for them. Always try to leave a straight edge if you need to join
Jay Saunders I assume you’ve done a video showing how you got the insulation so neatly over the wheel arches. Wish I had funds and time to do this now but I’ve literally had my T5 van a day and the purchase cost is going to take a while to recover from.
Looks really good Jay! I'm going to be doing mine soon, just need to remove the rear heater first. One question, on some of the metal parts of the bus, the pillars etc around the windows (where there isn't wood) there are some holes. They are largish square holes. Did you just carpet over the holes or did you cover them in some way first?
Hey Mark. Thank you mate. To be honest I didn’t on the first side but I leant as they don’t look the best so I recommend get some thin alloy tape like heat tape from bnq as it sticks well and is very thin. Tape over them first it’s a lot nicer. Hope this helps
Perfect thanks for the tip Jay. Sounds like a great solution. I'm carpeting this weekend, good timing with the reply. 👍
No problem. Use a wooden spoon. Use some tape and just do bits at a time and work your way long. Will finish amazing I’m sure of it.
What colour carpet is this ??
I did say during the video I believe matey. May have been charcoal I think
for reference, he says 10 m of carpet and 12 bottles of spray
😝. 🙌
Do I have to remove the ceiling of the T6 if I only want to carpet the walls?
It is best to so you can over lap the roof panels over the carpet which will give you a better finish overall.
Looks sick Bro
Thank you Jon
@@JaysFabShop The effort you've put in you must be buzzing
I’m starting to feel more positive about it now 😂
@@JaysFabShop you should be
What colour was the carpet you used buddy looks great
Hey Adam. I used the charcoal matey.
Great video. Where did you get the carpet from and what colour is it?
Hi David. I fully mention the supplier in the video
@@JaysFabShop ha yeah not sure how I missed that 😬
great work Jay. Tempted to go over mine again as I now want access to the panels inside and the company I bought the van from used 1 piece for the job. Also, what are using for insulation/proofing altogether? Cheers
Hey mate. I did a video on the insulation I’m using from bnq. Think the video was something like don’t over pay to build your own camper. I’ve got the plastic bottle top stuff for mine
Jay. How did you sort the wiring to move the ceiling light? Did you cut and extend or is there a simpler way?
Hello David. If you take it back far enough mate it’s long enough to reach where I moved it to so I simply just dropped it down inside the c pillar I think it is.
@@JaysFabShop that is mate. Great idea that. I will be putting lights in roof so don’t need that one where it is
I felt it was a shame to just not use it so I decided to keep that one working off when the doors open and my spot lights on switch only so when it’s dark and you get in and out it’s still slightly privet
@@JaysFabShop exactly what I will do!!
Can it be gemoved if i want another in the past
Yes
Fantastic job, looks pro. How did you get the carpet under the window trim.? Thanks
Hey mate. I bent the trim up a little and pulled it away as much as I could. then when I cut and trimmed the carpet I cut it so it was around 5 mm past the seal. Then I forced it behind with a trim tool and then re shaped the seals. Hope this makes sense
Jay Saunders thank so much for the reply. That’s my next job :-)
No problem. If you have Instagram please feel free to add me and message me with anything you may need help with. I can show you close ups of how I did mine also
What kind of carpet did you use?
All the information is in the video. And links are below
You to look sweet together
Jay you ever had any problems with battery drains on t5? Iv had 2 t5 always problems
Hey mate. No mate I haven’t to be honest. I would say maybe check for a drain? As in start unplugging things and see if the drain goes away. That’s if you find a drain that is
@@JaysFabShop Thanks pal
Removed
Yes
Was that a Manta in the garage I caught a glimpse of, Or a Firenza / Chevette ?
Hey Mark. It’s my Chevette saloon. I’m doing a full bare shell restoration on it as soon and the camper is finished 🙏🙏
@@JaysFabShop Mate, have a search for Baby Bertha on here, a friend of mine builds engines, for Mass racing, they have recently done some engine and oil system works, the car is nearly as old as I am, I actually got to sit in it and have a inlet valve, I had a Viva, in my youth, but a tuned up one.
Aw sounds awesome Mark. Thanks for that I’ll definitely check them out during the week
500+bhp v8, they have video of it on the dyno, at Mass czcams.com/video/EFTBgnCanJo/video.html
Listen to that, you had to be able to drive back then, 700+ horsepower, under your right foot, no driver aids, just skill
Hi, Do you do camper van job with pop top roof for payment? tel nr? email address?
No sorry I don’t
There is an awful lot of waste isn’t there ?
Not really as I used all the window off cuts on trim parts etc. unfortunately waste is part of the job though.
