what the plans are

Postby asellar » Tue Jan 01, 2008 5:01 pm

the basic plan is to find that perfect balance between shag pile, fake fur and mirrorballs while still being able to cart large bits of junk from one place to another.

he really needs a proper paint job and some body tidying.

and of course the usual list of mechanical concerns.

maybe not really a mirror ball but a drinks cooler, extra battery, electric windows, etc.

just want to make it a mobile lounge setup that can also cart crap.
oh an fix all the squeeks and rattles.
Anthony (driver) and Derrick Van Bus (transit). cheers to all
