Shes pretty much done now few more bits need painting but havent got time anymore because im off on my surf week next week with my good friend stirlin!

anyway i have hopefuly added a video of the xbox working and music playing, notice how the xbox is hidden and the screen

the 3 led switches control the Inverter / Amp / Screen so i can switch them on and off when i like!

i removed the cd player in my van because i wanted something totaly different and i can use the xbox for playing games watch tv and use it as my cd player too!

i hope you all like my new van i have put alot of work and effort into her and hopefuly she looks a lil differnt from the rest!

please leave some comments on what you think!

i think i did a good job for a lad of 23 years old! Oh and apart from the spraying i did all this myself!

Thanks

Cosha

Have you thought of any way of concealing the LCD? The towel draped over it is a bit of a giveaway to scrotes that there's something of interest underneath. :!:

Thanks For all your nice comments!

Thanks Swampy, Its actually Fly Screen Mesh, where the old grill came off i just used some 1/2 inch self tappers with a washer to keep it in place!

as you can see im using a (colour coded i must just add :lol: ) zip tie as the bonnet catch, i been looking for ideas on a new one like a plastic ring pull from a fire extinguisher or something or summin, i been searching for a picture on here of the bonnet catch, dont suppose someone could take a pic of theres and post it here?

thanks in advance all!

Ps yes i need some wellers or summing now, although i must just add resilvering the wheels and blacking the tires really smartens it up!
