Thanks peeps
) Just wanted something a wee bit different. Had a swb tranny before but wasnt enough room for what i needed it for. I have a small business trading at bike rallies/shows, so as most weekends i,m at an event somewhere, needed something a tad warmer to sleep in than a metal box !! so thought, with ambulances being ready insulated n all..plus love the bodyline..got me one ! It ex Edinburgh Mastif..i take it you,ve some connection with them ? And being an ex city one, had never had long journeys, so only had 62k on the clock..ok..i have a couple of times been just getting off to sleep, and thought..how many folks have pegged it in here !!!..but never had a visit
) Working on the interior at the moment..sold all the kit on ebay, and where the stretcher was, down the passenger side, i,ve built in a single bed with lift up lid, so loads of storage under for my smaller stock..the side door didnt have access to the back, but was a storage cabinet for bodyboards,gas tanks etc, so opened that up..have put an ikea kitchen unit in, behind drivers side of bulkhead, with a small sink going in there, and have added a row of side lockers along one side, as strangely it had none..15" tv going on a partition i,ve put up at the end of the bed..and other than that, just a fold down table..again Ikea ! under the side window. I,d love to kit it out more, but need the space for stock and fixtures..marquee etc when travelling to an event, but once there and unloaded, makes for quite comfortable accomodation. Will get round to getting some interior pics on....oh..the front and rear strobes, which are still all operational..as is the siren..oooppss..i,m going to relocate underneath the van, which will illuminate the ground when at a show !! The light pod does look well i must admit breakdown biker
) i,m trying to incorporate as many of my own lines on it as possible,as i also do LED driving lights etc, so when finished it,ll be like blackpool illuminations. Only problem i,ve had so far..apart from so many bloody electrical ones ( fingers crossed now sorted) have been the odd leak..the rubbers went on the side window, so replaced that with the flush glass one seen in the pic ( plus the other one had one of those emergency pull thingys on it..so all any scroat wud have to do was pull the little ring and the window would fall out !!) and the side door I cant seem to adjust correctly, as theres a slight gap at the top, so in heavy rain, it comes in..plus the pop up roof, i,ve tried so many things to seal it..but water finds its way into the channels and eventually leaks in...but am taking that out, and replacing with a sheet of smoked perspex which i,ll bond to the roof...but an ongoing project, which does get some looks !! all a bit tongue in cheek...but never been one for normality....cab is pretty much standard inside..was very clean, and of course, as theres an access door into the back, doesnt have the 3 seats..but as mastif will know, has a few extra bits, like map reading light, fold down mirror on the roof, which im going remove and attatch a small 7" dvd screen to for when i,m parked up..and best of all, has a full VDO DAYTON sat nav system, which when fitted would have cost around £2k ! more than i paid for the feckin van !! So pretty happy with the old girl..watch this space
