Got all the wood today to sort out the back... I'm struggling to work out if I should make benches that change to a bed or just build a bed?? It's swb so more room the better I guess

Tried to find pics of other peoples for ideas but not really had much luck... Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks

Nice work m8,

iirc that stereo is a sony cdx- something and is 50w x4 with remote - I had 2 of those and absolutely loved them unfortunately left the last 1 in the bmw that I sold

like the dash too

[greenmanmark]

yes it is and you are right its awesome just thought the white would make the inside feel a little less 'commercial'

[greenmanmark]

Did a bit more today think it suits it quite well
