Hmmm doubtful but someone this end will. Graham L lives in the nxt village to me and I bet he'll be going. All yours wiggy.

Thanks for the comments on the shelf folks, it was fun making it and a quarter of the price of the bamboo ones. Best thing is you can customise it to your bus! I'm surprised you boys like it, I thought you all liked metal and mesh and manly colours :lol:

Not much to update as I've been buggered wi a bad back for the last three week! As I can't really do much I figured I'd just use it this weekend so took a plod out to the malverns for a picnic..

When I got back I spent two hours of my life I'll never get back shining a piece of deluxe trim. P400, p1000, p1200 then dremmel and cutting metal polish. It's slow work but comes up a treat. Only 12 more pieces to go :shock:

Why?
Just paint it black.

Carpets look fine, all rolled up in the garage at the moment.
The beam's priority.

[sparkywig]

By the time you get them all done, the first bit will have dulled again.... :lol:

 

[justcruzin]

Trim is coming along nicely!! I know what you are saying about sore fingers. I did the bottom of my jalousie windows and about died! LOL

Damm that must have been hard work? They're pretty awkward too! I'll get there, just trying to find jobs that don't involve too much bending and lifting as I've damaged three discs in my back! :|

Wait, you're polishing by hand?

I bought a couple of polishing wheel drill bits and what not for just a couple of quid from a handyman store which works wonders! I'm going to polish one of my alloy rims soon, will let you know if it's any cop!

I'm removing the anodised coating with wet & dry, I'm then using a dremel with polishing felts and cutting polish to bring up the shine and finishing off by hand yes. Its still hard work though George, unless I'm doing something wrong? Which is entirely possible!!
