any news on the camper only 34 days to Christmas

All work stopped a few weeks back, lost intrest and had alot on, anyway ive had time to think about how I want it to look inside, decided I want 3 seats in the back, spotted 6 seats with belts for sale in Kilkenny, 175e for the lot, bought them today for 120e(bargain) and it was 7 seats not 6 so another bonus there! Now im thinking of taking out the front passenger double and replacing it with a single seat , then I would have access to rear of van from the cab. Loads of ideas in the head but nothing is clear yet.
The missus says she will pay the road tax if I have the van ready for inspection by the tax office by end of next weekend, so I think I will crack on and get her done.
Bought engine oil and gearbox oil today, cost just under 80e(nearly as much as I paid for the van), I changed the oils back in Feb, decided to change gearbox oil again because its automatic and I want to make sure it stays running smooth.
I really want to strip the van down and give it a full makeover but havent the funds or the space to do it, so its cheap and cheerful for her this year.
Your van is coming on nicely.

[redcube]

well plans are made to change mine have alot
If you every need a hand with any thing and I'm around I'll gladly help you my skills are very wide

Started work on the van again today, made a frame for the sink and fitted it, fitted a 3 seater bench seat with safety belts, fitted a sky light, nerve wrecking moment cutting a hole in the roof!!!
Had intended changing engine and gearbox oil as well but the day went so fast just doing the few bits ive done, she is starting to look more like a camper inside now, still looks like a standard van from the outside, cant decide whether or not to fit windows to it.
Camera is hiding on me again so no photos today.

[redcube]

thought i remind you 19 days to Christmas
hows the 3ton goal coming along i have one idea for you may not be a good one but fill ever open space in the walls with lead or concert

[dirtydiesel]

Cant find the time to work on her, did change the gearbox oil, went to do the engine oil and rounded the sump nut! havent much left to do, just need to make a frame for cooker to sit in. and get it weighed (cough cough)
