The first day of a DIY van conversion involves pulling out old paneling and floor, which can be done by following these steps: 1) Remove Plywood with a cordless drill, as there are many screws holding up the panels across 4.3m in length of internal wall. Unscrew everything and paint all cabinets in the van.
A DIY van conversion is quite a challenge, but it is essential to plan your ideas and design well before starting the big job. Once window holes are drilled and wood is cut, it is pretty hard to remove the inside out of a Sprinter van. There are lots of plastic pieces that just unclip.
To start the van conversion, completely empty the van, including the temporary bed built a few months ago. Next, rustproof and paint the van. For side panels, buy a “trim tool” that reaches behind the panel to gently lever the retaining pins away from the steel walls.
Removing paneling and lining from the back of a Sprinter van involves Step 1: Remove Plywood. Step 2: Remove the bulkhead. Step 3: Clean! Make sure to remove the plastic rivets and screws first, if they may be holding the trim down.
In summary, removing old paneling and floor from a van is an easy process that requires careful planning and planning.
