Not had much chance to post up lately, plus I've been planning the next couple of stages of the interior, being the lower half of the van and the reupholster the front seats, which may include matching seating/cushions for the back, with any luck.

New 12A LED driver fitted inside the roof with sensor for the remote control and managed to make a surround for the front window, just the little problem of how to fix it up with a curtain behind it.

Finished the sides of the van and recovered the front roof lining, just a few little bits left to sort and more LED lighting for the front cabin area, then on to the lower half of the van, but I'm struggling to find the dark carpet the same as the door pads at the moment, thesearch goes on.

Had a day off today, so took a few photos. Not much done over the last couple of weeks, with a holiday in between etc. Plus I've had a little break from it all, while trying to sort out getting the front seats recovered, was thinking of white and grey, but I think this maybe too much white, so maybe grey with white piping and whit stiching, will have to do some mock ups to see what I think.

Anyway, finished the front roof lining, not an easy task with the material only stretching in one direction, but I'm reasonably pleased with the result.

Probably fit some more LEDs in this space.

Done all around the side panels and window, still haven't worked out how I'm going to fix the frame around the windows yet, keku clips are too big, so maybe just an angled brackets screwed to the metalwork.

And finally, pretty colours

Ive just decided to make the two storage boxes removable to help reduce the weight, but I have the auxiliary battery and sub in one, so thats going to be a problem
