There at least one good set of pictures of a home brew if you look in Media Gallery.

It's a great idea, exactly what you want and the quality you want. Few of us have the skill and patience.

Just got to sell my old small fiesta van and will buy a pannelled merc sprinter. Not sure to go for a Lwb or Mwb..

Welcome
We had a panel van for 5yrs based on a Fiat Ducatto with no problems.
Go for a LWB if you can and as you want a Sprinter do your research research with regards to servicing charges etc incl cam belt replacement as they can be a bit expensive when you compare them ith Fiat or Peugeot!
Also if you are doing the conversion yourself I suggest you visit as many shows and dealers as you can to find the best layout. Rear bed or two singles mid ships etc.
Anyway good luck and you will enjoy the freedom We are currently in Spain for next 2 months in the sun!!

Hi DanDreddand welcome as previously mentioned have a good look at the shows see the layouts and be happy with the choice you make,:thumb::thumb::thumb: after all it is not cheap to build your own conversion and then realise its not how you wanted it to be Good Luck anyway :thumb:
