Took a week off work to finish the inside doing the Tees Tyne commercial run Sun 8th. Outside will have to wait, finished the seats added little foot locker & an extra little cabinet I saved from my old one. Hope the next pics will be it more or less finished inside except for toilet shower area quite a bit work still needed there.

Still a bit to do geoff but time is at a premium, decor prob not to your taste but back to the 70`s except for the tiles, had a few good comments when on show after the run at South Shields. Don`t know whether I`m going to attempt to spray it myself or get some body to do it for me :?:

Got the toilet & shower bit done, wasn`t sure what to do with it because I`d took some of the board out above window replaced some of the wood work but the board I took out was a tile effect pattened & yellow so I thought I was going to have to strip the lot out & replace with something else, Before I stipped it I relpaced the part I took out with a bit of ply cut some grooves in it to match the tile effect then painted it with a tile paint & I was pleased with the result so saved me quite a bit time & work.

Now for some work on the outside need new rubber for one of the windows a bit of rubbing down then get a price for respray :shock: :shock:
