Hi, so we made the big decision and sold our old 1997 T4 & new E Class in March and finally found the spec/colour van we had looked for for months 
T6.1 DSG 150 in Ascot Grey Highline
We wanted the box van so we could do it from scratch ourselves and have it exactly how we wanted it learning from our old T4 what we needed and didn't need
Majority of the work we have done ourselves, the pop top and windows our friend who owns a camper conversion shop helped us do this.
We've to date had done:
BFG fuel tyres/alloys
Storm PopTop
Safari windows both sides and windows all around
Electrics ready for the kitchen etc
Fully carpeted in Silver
Grey Oak flooring

Now ready to order the slimline kitchen and 3seater 130 rib bed

Exciting times

Looks great. Just out of curiosity how have you finished the carpet on the sliding door? Have you just gone to the door rubber and cut it or have you edged it with some trim?

Your choice of Ascot Grey is spot-on—looks sharp and practical. I totally get the joy of building something from scratch and making it uniquely yours. By the way, your post reminds me of an article I saw about how second homes are impacting local communities: https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/gallery/second-homes-force-cornish-army-9479333/ . We did something similar with our camper a few years back, and it was such a learning experience. We started with basics and ended up customizing everything from the flooring to the kitchen setup. Your pop top and windows must have made a huge difference. I'm sure you'll love the slimline kitchen and 3-seater bed.
