VW LT 4×4 Restoration & Conversion

From this…	…to this… in 3 years!

I finally had the chance to edit down all of the footage I shot from my Walt build series into just over 30 minutes, covering everything from the roof transplant, through the welding and the respray right up to the finished product, which I am still very proud of despite Walt having gone on to new owners. Got 30 minutes to spare? It’s fun honest! Thanks for following along…
