Never owned a bus before, never done any work on cars etc, only thing done so by a pro was the canvas poptop.

just right about the have fun bit. looks like your did a great job and the bellows look great, thats the first straight bellows replacement on a devon that i actually really like (im a bit of a purists ) the colour is perfect!

are you getting some smev units? the interior definitely looks like a good workable design.

I like what you did with the interior, especially as that's your first one.

 

[Tezzah]

It's a smev hob and grill and a smev sink which has an electric pump fitted. Also has 240 hook up, solar panel charger (stored behind seat) and an automatic extinguisher too now.

Nice new hoses fitted, push rods changed, it's now a leak free engine

Good work Tezza! Glad to see your giving it a go 8)

Just

Well, after a few trips away it appears that 6mm plywood just doesn't cut the mustard lol, it started to come apart so with just a day to do it, i got some 15mm wood and re-did the interior again. Nearly 5 year olds can trash an interior, that's for sure!!! :lol:

The panel in, showing MY cupboard at the bottom (wife is banned from in there, lol).

It's not finished as i want to trim the edges but it was a lot sturdier to use this weekend.

 

[sparkywig]

Interior looks good.

 

[Tezzah]

It's possibly only the second time i have ever attempted to make anything at all too. I'm pleased thus far, would love a westy interior but no funds for that lol.
