Thanks for the comments guys!
I know what you mean about dash's John, Im happy with how its finished up.
Haven't up dated for a while, it seemed like nothing was getting done for a few weeks but I was just trying to finnish lots of little bits off, it's now starting to get there.
My main worry was damaging the engine running low, thanks to Matt letting me have a look at his set up on the laundry van I knocked up a sump and gearbox protection plate out of some 4mm thick steel, also trimmed the engine moustache bar down and welded some oil line connectors to it so they do not hang down and get damaged.
Next up my kitchen / cooker unit; It was important to have good cooker for the van, but at the same time I didn't want to have to hunch down to cook in the van so this was the solution, all made out of american oak with soft close hinges rated up to 60kg so should be easily up to the job, this holds a 3 hob smev cooker and Finnegan's bed sits on top.
To match the cooker unit I fitted a american oak side shelve for phone, cuppa T etc and a little table to bridge the gap between the seats which also doubles up to be part of the bed.
Table to eat at
And how the bed looks all set out
Took the bus out today for my first drive since buying it many months ago, and boy does it shift, really blew the cob webs out and cleaned the fuel lines out
Still got the curtains to fit and a few other bits, but starting to get really excited about going to Ninove now!
