I Bought a Dead Mercedes Van That’s Been Parked 15 Years… Meet Custard

I’ve just bought this 1999 Mercedes Vito W638… and it hasn’t been on the road for 15 years. Meet Custard — my £700 non-running, filthy, slightly questionable life decision. In this first video, I give you a full walk-round of the van, show the condition it’s in after sitting for over a decade, and talk through the plans for bringing it back to life. It doesn’t run. It’s been parked up for years. And I have absolutely no idea what I’m about to find underneath all the dirt. This is the start of a new project series where I’ll be attempting to get Custard running, roadworthy, and hopefully back where it belongs — on the road. If you enjoy barn finds, cheap project vehicles, and slightly risky mechanical decisions, you’re in the right place.
