That's it guys, with a little delay, here is the final result for the Japanese Conversion that my father and I did in the last few months. This was a fun project, combining old and new techniques for us, somehow changing some of the previous views we had on cabinet making.
My priorities for this Kei Camper were the following:
1) Had to stay light - The van has a max payload of 700 pounds.
2) Had to be modular - The engine bay is in the floor, in the back.
3) Had to feel cozy - Spending hours in an "ugly" van is hard.
4) Had to be easy to remove - No tools, no help, one guy.
Let me know what you think! I feel like I'm presenting my arts and craft project of the weekend in third grade. HA! There is a full video on youtube right here, if ever :
