Let’s talk about the images we post VS the real product… We by no means hide the quality of our work and our images are not false advertising. What you see is what you get 🖤

Reveal! 🖤✨

Ford transit custom..that’s a wrap! Meet Casper, a stealth camper with a beautiful secret on the inside.

This build has been no easy feat and took longer than we originally anticipated due to lots of intricacies and complexity in the curves of the vehicle. One thing we learnt is that no matter how hard it is, where there’s a will, there’s a way and it always turns out to be the best way possible. We are always so amazed by how everything comes together! Super stoked with the outcome ⚡️

We won’t be seeing this van around the Cape as it will be heading up to the UK next week. We wish our clients all the best!

Loving these accessories using birch plywood and bungee cord! You will definitely be seeing more of these in our builds 👌🏻

Home is where you park it…Even the cat says so 🐱

We spent this past weekend in Mossell Bay - Longest trip to date in Forrest and probably also the last trip that we will be able to transport the bikes inside.

HELLO wall panelling it took you some time to make your appearance 🥴 Worth all the headache though.

Feat the just as beautiful cordless jig saw making SA load shedding a little more manageable for us.

You can impress from a distance but you can only impact up close 💫

Get in touch to book your van in for a full makeover! 🔥 We have 2 slots left this year, make your move before summer comes around ☀️

Grateful to come to work every day knowing that these are the tools you get to work with 💚🛠

The perfect overlanding duo ⛰🌾🚐

Although these Sprinters aren’t 4x4’s, they are rear wheel drive, have a high ground clearance and very robust vehicles. So we believe they are very capable candidates for rough terrain.

Would you like us to show you what Forrest can do? 🤩

Cordless all the way! 🔥

REVEAL! 🖤✨

‘Echo’ in all her glory. We have so many photos showcasing this gorgeous build, we can’t wait to show you more and of course the transformation!

Thank you everyone for supporting us and to our client for giving us freedom in creating this little gem. We enjoyed every moment!

How many ‘s can you spot? 👀

The one thing we don’t do ourselves - the upholstery… but let’s just appreciate how gorgeous this fabric is and the quality of work is tops 👌🏻

We cant give it all away just yet so this is just a little sneak peak 👀

New week - let’s go!

This week has been all about that ceiling ✨

See how the corner of the roof in the last image is a right angle? Bless that right angle, not many vans come with those 🙌🏻

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone from Forrest and the BML Team 🤍

It’s week 3 of our custom build and so far it’s been smooth sailing 🤞🏻

- Cladded
- Partition wall up
- Carpeted
- Pull out bed cut
- Main pull out kitchen unit on the go

We don’t usually like to post progress photos but thought these would be awesome to look back on when the van is complete 🤗

Festool Friday 💪🏻

The joy of discovery 💫🍁

Fun start to the work year and power tools making our process smooth sailing ⛵️

At one with nature ⛰

I think we shall name him Wall-E🍀

This CTL MIDI dust extractor and vacuum has been saving our lungs since day one 🫧Smart design by

9 years together and growing in every way!

For all our new followers, it goes 9 years back when we met in high school… we studied interior design together and later started up our furniture business which has now adapted to building vans.

Imagine spending 24h of every day with your partner. Yup that’s us! 😅

Festool Friday 🍀

REVEAL 🖤✨

This vet build was a solid one! The funny part is a small conversion like this turns out to be just as challenging as a van build.. nevertheless an exciting one and stoked with the final product!

We wish our client all the best on her new venture as one of the first mobile vets in Cape Town 🐶🐾🐱

Let us know your favourite feature in the the comments 👌🏼

This bed system is like magic! ✨

We believe, a full sized bed is a must have in a van - Most of your time spent inside is probably going to be in bed!

Some of our best sleeps were spent in this semi-fixed king sized van bed - no space wasted! 💤

What do you think is a ‘must have’ in a van? 🚐

Festool Friday 👊🏻
