Fitting the cocktail campers internal panels and Photobooth.

Internal fittings.

Next up is wiring up the cocktail van for 220v and boarding the inside.

The idea is that we can rock up to a festival, party or expo and plug our drink truck in and everything inside is supplied with 220v.

Our coffee machine plugs straight in and has its own 20ltr water supply.

Our bottle cooler keeps beers and cold drinks nice and cool and holds up to 280 bottles of beer and chills them super fast.

Our 45 ltr per hour beer pump can cope with any event turning our beloved volkswagen old timer into a beer truck.

Our LED strip lights set the mood or can dance to the rythem of the volkswagens superior sound system.

Finally at the rear of the van is the Photo Box.

The idea is that guests can use the campers Photobooth while they wait for a drink. They approach the rear of the van, select there preferred photo filter from colour, black & white or sepia and the photobooth does the rest. Once the filter has been selected the large screen displays what the camera see’s.  It simply counts down from 5 then snap! Your picture is taken. It can take between 1 – 6 photo’s and at the end print them out immediately on lab quality paper.

The user also has the option to email the picture to themselves or upload it to social media directly from the fotobox.

Volkswagen Cocktail Bar MOT.

Volkswagen Cocktail Bar MOT.

So Otto is now all together and ready for the MOT.

The restoration took place in Greece where we found him so we popped it into a local test centre and besides a dodgy headlight bulb it passed.

Now the Volkswagen drink truck is ready to be exported to Germany.

Adding parts to make the cocktail bar mobile again

   After several coats of paint its time to start putting the Volkswagen bus back together again.

Obviously a few new parts are needed and a new stainless steel checked floor is installed where we will serve from.

February 2017. Stripping and priming the cocktail van.

Stripping the old Army green.

From what we know, Otto use to be a post van in Greece. We wasn’t keen on the original Volkswagen green and started by stripping the original paintwork off with a high powered sand blaster.
