Hardly touched the Van since Transitmania this year, just been so busy with other things. Love this photo taken of me driving into Transitmania this year, really need to get cool pics done like in the magazines. Having trouble with the glue I brought off ebay, so all the roof has got to come down again to be restuck, but I will run some wiring for TVs that I plan to fit oneday.
Ive also done a few bootsales and that brought some attention lol

Yes, brought 6 cans, ok it was cheaper but I didn't think it would fail within weeks. I'll find a can tomorrow and take a picture, can't find it on my ebay as it was too long ago

Hi Alan, I`ve used this before on recommendation from carpet fitters. Amazon I think and I believe they do a heavy duty too.

Sorry Paul, been so busy of late, working for yourself is darn hard going.
Been working on the van, took the roof down and reglued it all with some quality upholstery adhesive that I got from my future son in law. So far, its been all good over the last couple of weeks.
I've done loads of small bits to the interior, seat bases are finished as if today, its taken this long to find all the Transit and Sierra seat trims, but I'm pleased how they have come out.

Struggling with uploading photos, seeing as I can't use photobuxket anymore without paying for it, so here goes.
Hopefully you can see the photos of my completed seats and bases
Been working on the interior every so often, but just dont think its going to be ready by Transitmania.
Finished the table after seven years, all in all cost about £25, dearest part being 13 quid for the router bit, the rest being off cuts and scrap including the the stainless leg.
