The first job was to get my freind to get the flashing beacon working and give the van a good check over :)
Since then my welder mate has made me a towbar, then fitted it and wired it all up for me as well :)
next was the mot which it flew through :)
then came a new centre section and back box exhaust :)
I had a little trip out today to meet paul (mbm) in brentwood this morning and picked up my new rear seats and bed frames :)
All being well the rear seats should be going in thursday and will get some more piccies :D 8)

Look smart in there bud :D Nice.

Just remembered, I've got the material removed from the fifth seat,
which I intended to use to trim small parts of the interior, to help the seats blend in :idea:
I'll bring it to North Weald for you.
