67 Panelvan

Did not do much today, sanded some more cupboards and decided on a different stain for the cupboards. Have to redo some of them including the top one which is in already. Fitted the roof which is plain hardboard and I painted it black. I just used stonechip with a brush which gave a nice texture.
Here is a non phone pic of the downlighters



These are the lights and LED's I got. I had to modify the portrait light a bit to fit the LED strip and to hide all the new wires from view.



Then some sanding and making a noise in the neighbourhood, along with painting one of the panels







Test fitted the panel with the light in and took some snaps, its not fastened yet. I just wanted to see what it looks like

Havent been doing too much except trying to make sence of the sparks.
Managed to score this cool basin today off a guy on facebook, connected it to a battery and magically the air blows out the nozzle. Not sure where to fit it, at the moment im thinking of fitting it to the cargo door.





Refitted some of the cupboards.






And then this is the tiling I did. Its not 100% done yet and this is a cellphone shot
Having some trouble figuring out the ACVW image uploader, cant seem to delete and get allocated memory errors when uploading.

Looking very "cosy" in there Donovan - are those ceramic tiles ?

looking forward to seeing the project completed - what else do you still have to do ?

Those look like natural stone tiles.

It’s very different, but I think I like it.

[Donovan D]

Yes its real stone, its a modern old camper

To do list:
Flooring
Upholstery
cargo door cabinets/pull out basin

FFR is sorting out the front suspension over the weekend, reinstalling things that was removed when narrowing the beam ( steering dampner and brackets, stabilizer bar)
Then if all goes well get it down to Auntie Es and the German to have a complete check through on everything, brakes, toe-in/out, adjusting tie-rods and all the rest
and then hopefully go on a road trip

The bus had its first real outing to the CCCS, very pleased with all the comments.
One of the adjustors came loose and the bus kept going lower in the front. When it settled there was about 2cm clearance between the wheel and the arch. I had to raise it up again as it was crap to drive and because of not much cool air flowing through. Managed to seize piston 3, the battery still drains and the gearbox is pissing oil.
Pulled the motor and gearbox. The bus has done about 600km in the last year

Not cool! But your bus's interior looks swanky!

Well done

I do have another one, the tap is just different. Arrange transport and fit it.
