Sweet colour, 5 1/2 days for the paint job, I did that about 15 years ago on my first bus, damn near killed me that's a lot of hard work, respect.

I thought i should bring this up to date!

After EBI was Bug Jam,

and then my next adventure was with Maddog, we both drove our vans out to Norway to got to the SCC show and meet up with our Norwegian members of Ultimate Street Bays.

I documented the trip in the following thread:

Here are my Fav Pictures and a video!

here are a few of Maddog's pics i have stole:

repairing Maddog's throttle pedal linkage

and of course we didn't drive all the way to Norway to them take it easy on our vans

This is the video clip containing one of my PB Runs:

So I Returned from Norway with a new PB by a massive margin seeing my lil 1776cc engine power my van to a pair of 16.7's

Next was ACTION back in the UK

The van then went into a lock up and hadn't been out till today :mrgreen:

Was great to get it out for a lil spin round the block.

This brings me upto date!

 

[alex4057]

The reason the van was out was to finalize the plans for the interior.

I already have the R&R and the flooring in so i have just got hold of:

Full rear panel set in Black to match the new front door cards i already have,

A pair of Rubber matts that wrap round the bottom of the front seat bases,

Today we measured up to create an L shape of seating using the R&R and the side opposite the sliding door, this will be a chest locker for storage, i also have an old 60's camper oven, grill and 3 hobs unit that will get built into a removable unit for behind the passenger (by the sliding door). It will be removable so i dont have to lug the cooker everywhere if i didn't want to.

Just a few materials to finalize on and then we can start i hope to have it all in and done by mid February.

It will then probably go and live outside my mates house who is an auto electrician, he and I will then wire in:

Spilt Charge
Secondary Fuse boxes
Leisure Battery
Alarm with pressure sensors and proximity sensor to check if a door gets opened
Power conditioner
Amps
Sub
tweeters
front pods
rear pods
All driven by:
Mini PC and 7 and a 1/2" Touchscreen

I have all of that all i need to find is a secondary 12" screen to run in the rear!

I'm just looking forward to having a trimmed finished van!

Hopefully the group buy on fire extinguishers goes ahead and that will get fitted too!

Once the electrics are in I shall be taking my van and having a Tracker fitted, I think for the peace of mind it's worth it!

Not only has my van been spied in 2009 in magasines from the UK, Norway and Japan, but evidently I'm now a movie star

[alex4057]

The only spy shot I'm making public of the interior is off my new Cab Bling,

I have fallen well behind with things on the inside so none of my proposed sounds or elec installations have happened but it's all trimmed and looking a load better now.

I'll be at Volksworld show one way or another with my van and after that i shall put up some shots of what I have been upto!

 

[mattd1984]

[alex4057]
