Just a quick update on the race bus, i have been concentrating on my cupboards so the progress has been slow due to a lot of head scratching as all my cupboards are made from scratch as i go along

Wardrobe and seat all finished, just needs sponge covering

Image

Top cupboard down lights wired up, just handles and bottom trim to add

Image
Image

Made a start on kitchen area

Hey it looks brilliant & I love your cabinetry skills!

I see you don't have the bulkhead ... What you gonna do for privacy - a blind or curtain where the bulkhead used to be or something around the windscreen & side windows?
