*got 2 more lights to go under numberplate, they wont be seen too easy unless they are on, will have 2 sidelight bulbs in each.
*got some 12v rope lights to go in the 'cab' area, just to brighten it up a bit and for decoration.
*once we get rid of all the snow, frozen solid snow, and ice, im going to make up sidebars out of the same stuff my lights on roof are fixed too, with amber leds fitted.
*got 2 halogen lights, only about 65mm square but bright as hell, to be hooked up to reverse lights, makes reversing without streetlights in the country so much easier. they will be fitted either side of the towbar somehow.
that should be all for exterior, not sure whether to fit air horns on the roof or not, they are fitted to side of chassis just now, but gleaming so seems kinda wasted underneath and hidden.
once we get into summer months going put insulation in and re-ply the interior as it looks like its ply from a low roof fitted just now, but in the mean time i have some 12v lights to go up as its such a dark van on the inside and the 2 wee lights are useless. im still in 2 minds whether to convert it to camper or not, i dont use up all the space in the van too often, but when i do, every nook and cranny gets used so, i like to keep it as versatile as possible, but would also like the interior to be nicer looking than it is.
I don't switch my lights on... I turn the dark OFF!
