Buying a van for a van conversion is a very treacherous activity. So in this video, you will join me (an absolute idiot when it comes to vehicles) and Mark Hannawin (a former mechanic for F1 Driver Ayrton Senna) in my journey of purchasing a van.
This series has now moved to the new Matt's Van Channel! https://www.youtube.com/@UCOqdHx3IxUHaOuCeKIOLWNg
Please note that this is a long form video and playlist that goes into all the fine details when it comes to purchasing a van. If you'd rather watch the conversion process at a faster, higher level pace, please consider checking out the series on my Main Channel. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDPvEofXXRCNO0vczCPTWs2GbYpKPFQ5x

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?: My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 26 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation, which is where I began growing my business. I then returned to Rycotewood to teach Evening Classes for 2 Years, while also teaching City and Guilds Furniture Making for 3 years. They were some long 12 hour days!
In September, 2021. I resigned from teaching at the school to focus on my own business.
