Looking good Leon, see you camping somewhere soon.

What did you decide with the interior in the end?

I've got a westy interior to go in. Need to cover the cushions and finish the floor before it can go in. Also got some louvred windows to go on and then I may consider some adjustable springplates to bring the rear in line with the front. I most definitely am not lowering any more than it is at the front.

 

[leon]

Leon.... you're a dick!

:lol:

Got some adjustable spring plates at volksworld show and spent the afternoon in the sunshine lowering the backend. It's a bit too low at the moment. The front is higher and looks like i'm carrying cement. I will adjust them tomorrow and bleed the brakes at same time. Here's a sneeky pic.

Thanks for that

Now that my school work is finished it's back to the van getting it ready for camping in a couple of weeks time.
Had to make all the westy brackets that help fit the interior! Why are these never part of the sale of an interior! Oh well.
Also, my very kind mother-in-law stitched up my seat covers and I had chance to fit them today.

Reckon I'm going to go into business making seat covers. Think they cost a total of £35. Bargain

Cheers for the coms fellas.

Been busy getting the van ready for it's first camping trip of the year and finally finished the interior. Also got me a MOT which is always a relief. Didn't take hundreds of pics as I forgot, but here's the finished product. I'm well pleased.

Time to concentrate on the wheels now.
