A lot of work, yes. But great fun ;-)

Here what it will probably look like in the end:

Ah... Well I think so and thanks ;-) But maybe it's not a problem at all, behind those seats.

Door, pics while sundown..

It is not really possible to look inside the van from outside, but still with a strong flashlight or lights switched on inside it's possible. Not a good feeling to sleep like that! That's why I decided to build some curtains. I nearly got crazy choosing the right cloth as the shop had at least 500 different sorts! As curtain rail I recycled some rails (polished & painted) that where in the van when I bought it, see the red arrow. The green arrow are the two drawers that I installed in the back. To install the curtain on the rail I made some loops from old bootlaces. Will continue now with 2 more curtains and install them later. Check the pics.
