Getting a fair bit done at the moment as like most people I've got plenty of time at the moment although I had actually planned to be off next week anyway as it's the Easter holidays

Never look a gift horse in the mouth, at least you can get it done, it’s been a bit too hot for me, I had heat and sun stroke when I was 8 and can’t take ant heat without getting a stupid headache and feeling sick so fair play to you being able to do stuff

Sound deadening stuff have done the floor, sides, inside the doors and the roof. Not 100% coverage everywhere just strips in most places stops the panels vibrating and stuff

It’s just some generic stuff I got on eBay. 7.5sq meter was about £45/50. I’ve used 15sq meter so far and I’ve still got the side door and the bit above the cab so I’ll just buy a few of the small sheets for that

So just over 7.5sqm should do a connect then
I’m lucky with my ply as it’s in good condition apart from being a bit dirty , just git to make new n/s wheel arch box up

Have run the wiring to where I want the batteries and lights etc.
Finished insulating the roof and taped it all up.
Fitted the vapour to one side and started doing a bit of carpet lining
