Flushed with the success of her MOT Delilah seemed to be yearning to get back on the road. she has always been lacking an interior of any real substance and the other half fancied a bit of a day van sort of thing :)

I am more of a welder than a chippy so its a bit rough and ready :lol:

Yeah, he's doing a great job - I picked out the handles today - unfortunately they're ones that fit from behind the panel and he's got to cut ALL the screws for them - sorry!!

Note that the manky old carpet is gone - and I spent a whole afternoon sandpapering the glue off of the back doors!! arrrrghhh!!!

Gonna carpet the sides, put tiling (no, not ceramic ones) on the floor for ease of cleaning with a mucky pawed pup (the dog) and hopefully then source some cushions/seat pads and backs. Have found a spiffy grill and 2 hob burner IF we don't get the old interior out of a camper van - BUT if anyone has a sink/drainer unit with the hob/grill attached - please let us know.... or any spare foam cushions out of a caravan/camper..... pretty please? we'll pay - but we don't want to pay the stupid money they're asking on e-bay for things :(

Makes a difference when you have the ability to chill out and make a brew or a fry up.

HAHAHAHA noooooo not going that far - no way!!!

I think I've decided on a vinyl type flooring, hoping to get blue and white tiles to carry the theme through - then all I need is a blue interior with red flashes and curtains that match... I don't want much do I?

Mind you - have found a camping kettle in BLUE!!! yay!

He's worked really hard this weekend - and hopefully we'll get the main bits finished off tomorrow - didn't help that B&Q's were actually shut today - that was a shock! But at least the local hardware store was open, so the handles and hinges got bought! :)

Hate the smell of the glue - and have used so much of it that we're going to have to go and get some more!! blerkkkkkkk
