I Re-Built my Sprinter - Was it Worth it? Project Amber 2023-01-08 | I Re-built my T1n Sprinter ex-ambulance from the ground up last year, using the entire internal workings of a Donor van. One Year on I can finally look into if it was Worth it?The process took 4 months and would also change the van from semi-auto to Manual. Being a novice mechanic, it took some serious hard work as I very quickly found myself out of my depth.But we got there and straight out of the door we had to drive 1000 miles across continent.We faces some issues and alternations that were needed but after a year of driving I can now reflect on whether the whole process was worth it.Want to support the channel & see much more content?:Patreon: Project.Amberpatreon.com/ProjectamberOr there's:buymeacoffee.com/project.amberYou can follow on Instagram:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/project.amberFind most parts, items & accesories I've used in videos on myAmazon Store:amazon.co.uk/shop/projectamber#oneyearlater #rebuiltcamper #vanlifeeurope

The Road-trip to Not Quite Nazare - Vanlife Portugal. Project Amber 2022-09-25 | With Protugal's Summer becoming the hottest on record, working on our Offgrid plot was problematic. What a year to return! We've survived pretty well with this in mind, but after weeks of extreme heat, EVERYTHING is now boiling, baking or wilting. Including us. So we made a decision to run away and escape the worst of the incoming heatwave by heading to the coast. The aim was the famous town of Nazare... but that didn't quite happen.This one's been released from Patreon for my Grandparents, who received the postcard.You can follow on:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/project.amberWant to support the channel & see much more content?:Patreon: Project.Amberpatreon.com/ProjectamberFind most parts, items & accesories I've used in videos on myAmazon Store:amazon.co.uk/shop/projectamber#alcobaça #vanlifeeurope #westcoast

7 Channels You Should be Watching. [& why I disappeared] Project Amber 2022-08-15 | Three months ago I took a tumble. I'd made it back "home" yet was struggling mentally.So I've taken some time to sort myself out and so far that's been extremely beneficial.The aim of this video is not just to explain to those that have asked "what's going on?" (and to stop my email and PM's filling up 😉) But to show you 7 other channels that I watch and enjoy, and really think you would too.Channels that run on similar paths to mine and have incredible effort put into their content, their production, editing, personalities & journeys, and I think really deserve to be seen by more people.I will be back, albeit with a slightly different format soon, but Youtube is a big wide world filled with creative people and offer so much no matter what your interest or taste, so explore some more and see what's out there:LINKS TO CHANNELS:Jake's Journey Mate:youtube.com/channel/UCb0x2k-kM891apI911oqAMgFrom Rust to Roadtrip:youtube.com/c/FromRustToRoadtripLuke & Sarah's Offgrid Life:youtube.com/c/LukeandSarahsOffGridLifeRoad__Viking:youtube.com/user/joey2wheelsKerbside Travel:youtube.com/c/KerbsideTravelThe Wildlanders:youtube.com/c/TheWildlandersOffGridHouseless not Homeless:youtube.com/c/HouselessNotHomelessAnd for more from me:You can follow on:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/project.amberWant to help support the channel & see much more content?:Patreon: Project.Amberpatreon.com/ProjectamberFind most parts, items & accesories I've used in videos on myAmazon Store:amazon.co.uk/shop/projectamber- contents of this video --0:00 Intro2:40 Jakes Journey mate4:30 From Rust to Roadtrip6:53 Luke and Sarah's Offgrid Life9:52 Road Viking12:22 Kerbside Travel15:16 The Wildlanders17:28 Houseless not Homeless20:32 Outro#top7 #vanlife #alternatelivnig
Workshop on Wheels - Custom BT Trailer 15 min build. Project Amber 2022-05-27 | I took an old derelict BT Openreach box that had sat in a field for years and gave it a new lease of life as the mobile workshop on my off-grid land.Originally this box was mounted to a BT Openreach Ford Transit van and I'm told did all manner of phone and internet line repairs in both urban & rural locations. The interior was still mostly intact and even included the gas stove cowling that workmen would cook and make tea & coffee on etc.After sourcing a suitable trailer base the work could begin turning these unwanted heaps of scrap into something very useful.... and then I tow it 1500 miles across Europe.You can see the original 9 part build series here:youtube.com/watch?v=KJKXBhzsJc0&list=PLStJeO7f3Fjorqd4wgZyrpF3XreHh4CDN&index=1&t=500sWant to support the channel and see more of what we do?:Patreon: Project.Amberpatreon.com/ProjectamberBuy me a coffee: Project.Amberbuymeacoffee.com/project.amber#trailer #offgridtrailer #15minbuild

The Adventure Overland Show 2021 - Stratford Race Course Project Amber 2021-06-30 | The first re-introduction to a large gathering since the Lockdowns began, I was a little anxious about the Overland show.We had a lot of visitors and we did have to answer the same questions about Portugal 1627 times, but it was an incredible event and allowed everyone a slight flavour of life before Corona.We had a great time seeing old friends we haven't seen since it all kicked off, meeting so many new people and making new friends, and Hopefully, more of this is to come in the next coming months.Links to Dave Manning, the VW bus musician:http://www.davemanning.netyoutube.com/watch?v=Sl9q3W3ibmcSubscribe to keep up with Project.Amber:youtube.com/c/projectamberYou can also follow on: Instagram: @project.amber http://www.instagram.com/project.amberFacebook: facebook.com/ProjectAmber25.VanlifeWant to help support the channel?:Patreon: Project.Amberpatreon.com/ProjectamberAmazon Store:amazon.co.uk/shop/projectamber#overlander #party #festival

Sprinter Sill & Step Replacement - Rust Busting Project Amber 2021-06-18 | It's time to do a proper job on the bodged sill I had to do before our return to Portugal.A small hole appeared that we were going to "quickly sort out" turned into the entire sill crumbling to bits.Not having any panels to weld on to hand and our ferry in 2 hours, we made do.but leaving it like it is will just allow rust to continue further, so I ordered the new panels including the step and whilst at Paul's we hit it.Subscribe to keep up with Project.Amber:youtube.com/c/projectamberYou can also follow on: Instagram: @project.amber http://www.instagram.com/project.amberFacebook: facebook.com/ProjectAmber25.VanlifeWant to help support the channel?:Patreon: Project.Amberpatreon.com/ProjectamberAmazon Store:amazon.co.uk/shop/projectamber#sill #welding #T1n
