Ryan Kell Sets To Raise $13,000 through Crowdfunding Platform gofundme

CARPINTERIA, Calif. - Nov. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- About:

Ryan Kell, founder of Sea & Summit organic Sunscreen Company. Ryan met a guy on craigslist from Oregon. Ryan spoke with him for months over the phone, checked out his used car business. He made Ryan feel completely comfortable with him. Both decided to do a "pay as you go" van. Ryan does not have enough to buy one outright.

Ryan says "He called me and said he found a 1984 camper van (has a pop-top, kitchen, etc.) with a Subaru engine, and it was perfect except for the paint. He said he'd sell it to me for $7,500 and for a total of about 17k I'd have a finished van for me to live and tour in." Ryan sold his truck to fund the project and began depositing all of his work checks into the bank for his company startup and the van restoration.

When Ryan arrived in Oregon, the van was in complete shambles. The paint was done, but the dash was torn apart with wires hanging everywhere, there were holes in the roof and floors, the interior was completely gutted, all the emblems were missing, missing bolts, vents, lights, seatbelts, no brake or reverse lights. The roof had been cut and left open because it wasn't actually a camper van.

The pop-top was tack welded on instead of welded to the frame with none of the welds sealed, the paint was only done on the outside and not the interior or other "out of sight areas." He put new springs on but the parts for the lift kit were all missing, including the shocks (he put some no name cheapo ones on that broke after 200 miles), none of the electrical worked, the exhaust was hanging off…the list goes on and on.

Ryan has started down to California to get the opinions of the mechanic and cabinet guys. They advised Ryan to cancel the check. They said they would go to court with Ryan to sue the guy if he wanted.

Campaign Motive: The fund raised will go to finishing the van and putting a roof, so he can keep working and not lose the startup company he has started.
