funny you should say that, I went into O2 yesterday for the very same offer, saw it passing by a few days ago, asked if the offer was for the pay as you go, and it was, but you had to buy another item for the offer on the dongle, she said if I bought a new phone then I could have it at that price :? , so told them to stick it as I'd only had my phone for 6 months( which I bought at the same O2 store) and went to asda the same night and got one there :lol:

Re: here she is then,phase 2

Postby dingdangdo » Sat Sep 12, 2009 11:31 pm

well phase 2 has started( couldn't wait until winter to get started), started off with rebuilding the locker over the cab, got sick of the Mrs nuttinig it :lol: , then got on the the side lockers, moved them up about 4", doesn't seem alot but it seems to make the inside a little bigger some how, moved a couple of lights, just have one in the main seating area and one in the kitchen area. still have the new cooker to fit in, sorted the leak on the sink that we got at transitmania, but alls going well so far, think it took a few trips out in her to know what needed to go where. will post photo's as soon as I take some.
Been offer a roof rack off the same bloke that gave us the cooker, so should be able to fit my sea fishing gear in a little easier.
Just got to do another coat or 2 on the outside, but think I'll get the arches done first :wink:

finally pulled me finger out and took some pics :lol:

the new flush fit twin tube light, was another scrap yard find out of an ldv minibus(see they do have some use :lol: )
Image
Image

a couple of the new roof vent blind thanks to the swap with Billy :wink:, it's a little bigger than the vent, but I plan on fitting a 40x40 vent at some point anyway, so will fit better
Image
Image

now the cupboards, they were lifted about 4", makes the van seem a little bigger
Image
Image

also shorted the one over the cooker, should make it a little easier to fit a extractor fan now, would have looked orkward before the change
Image


now for the cooker, was given it by a bloke while I was painting the van before transitmania, but now fitted it in seeing that we won't be going away until november, just need to connect up the gas.
Image
Image


and finally the over cab locker, got sick of the Mrs nutting the old one, plus I had to damage it to get the tv in, so was time to build a new,
Image
Image
Image

well thats it for now, but should be cracking on with more bits soon, and I'll remember the camera next time :lol: :lol:

seems ages since I last updated the build progress, well just this minute finished putting in the other window in the back, went in without too much problems, the cooker is all plumbed in and working a treat, made up a spare wheel carrier just need a cover to go over the wheel now, got some bling chrome cup holders to stop the things rattling around in the cupboards, just got to make up a plate rack now, have a couple of ideas just need to find the right items to modify to my plans, then we'll be on the home run just to do the finishing touches. will get some photos up once I've uploaded them :wink:
