====================================================================================================================================================
This Latest news comes with much anticipation and hard work.
This endeavor will begin, hopefully, as soon as the weather warms up.
Along with the help of some very awesome people I have gotten to know over the past year, my dream of owning and building a Camper Van is finally underway.
I have purchased a 2016 Ford Transit 250 (3.7L V6 w. New Transmission) at the end of last year (2024).
This purchase couldn't have been more perfect as it was below my price range (paid fully in cash).
The Gentleman selling it has maintained it very well as he works on all his vehicles (also Fords) and, works at a Ford dealership in the parts department.
I will not be surprised if there are hiccups throughout the renovations process but, I am keeping it to a minimalist project.
In all, I estimate the total cost (including purchase of the vehicle) will be in the range of $30,000 (rounded up).
This is something I have been planning and saving towards for the past 4 years.
This project will be getting its own category among this blog with photos and notes (maybe a video or two), although this may not happen until the project's completion or end of season.
Estimated completion date is set for the end of summer/fall (weather permitting) 2025.
However, this is not set in stone and there are too many variables to calculate to actually pin down a realistic end date at this time.
It's not going to be anything lavish but, it's going to be what works for the wife and me.
