My new crossover

[Lee C]

Well today, I took a perfectly good cooker/ sink unit,

Seen here,,,

& turned it in to this,,

Good eh??

Did get the gas working like,

Made Darren light it like, just in case :lol:

 

[Lee C]

Still on with this unit, I'm a bit bored of it noo like :roll:
Wasn't keen on the greet big water tank that had to be filled from inside the van so I'm changing it for a submersible pump inside a little water butt.
I've ordered the pump of eBay for £11, same one in the camping shop was £37 :shock:
Also found a new tap at the shop but that was same price as eBay :? £16 .

Here's all the new plumbing & gas pipes etc,,

This is how it's looking so far,

I had use a bit of the wood style laminate to hide the other holes left by the original tap which bit the dust!!

Hope to get on with a different job next year like :roll: (Thursday)

 

[Lee C]

Sorry
Still on with this unit !

The laminate was knackered on this door so I've hidden it with a bit aluminium trim like on the wardrobe, if it looks crap when it's all together I'll try n find another door??

Also the laminate was missing on t other side so i patched a bit in, looks,,,,,,

Reasonable :? .???

From a distance :scared0016:

Then I varnished it all ready to put it back together n nail it in!!

:sign0013:

Unit saga part ?

It's in :bliss:

Hole drilled for the drainage,

Drainage, for the drainage,

Certainly getting somewhere noo like!!??!?
One problem I've ran into is that I've retained the walk thru bulk head trims, so I had to cut a bit off the end of the unit & when I popped the spare wheel store door on for photographic purposes, I realised that don't fit either :anim_39: another day on it themerra, but then I defo need to do something else!!!!!!!!!

People are still reading this ****!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Thought I'd bored you all to def!!!!.,

Reet, the spare wheel door thingy didn't fit cos of the bulkhead trims, so I cut a bit off the back end of it & it now sits closer to the cupboard door, also using a bit spare laminate stuff, from the curtain cover bits I'm not putting back on, I laminated both edges of the door thingy.

No wonder this bus is taking me ages :roll:

It is starting to come together though even if I say so myself

Now the table has a drop leaf type bit on the end but the bit to make it stay up was missing, I found one on the net from a well known camper supplier for, wait for it,,,,,,,,,,,£54!!!!!!

So I made one.

Here's the table in,

Don't think I like it :?
But it's staying for now!

Finally, the ye olde brake fluid reservoir has been cleaned & re instated after the brand spanker one was a pile of poo n didn't last a day was binned!!!

Next?
Horse shoe plates!!
How hard can that be??

[mike202]

interior coming together well now.

Like the sink/burner combo.

 

[Lee C]

Many thanks men!!!

I didn't get too much done today, late start early finish, not ideal, but I am on holiday after all!!!???! :lol:

Dash needed cleaning so,,,,,

Look at the drivers side, that's before!!

This is after, still a bit of glueing etc to do, but it's cleaned up not too bad!!?!!!

 

[gumbo]

Have you got any pics of how your head lining is finished at the tailgate lee?

 

[Lee C]

I can take a pic of it if you like?
It just sort of ends at the last roof support, inside the rear overhead locker, I've secured a bit of hardboard to disguise the hinges a bit but there is a gap to feed the wires through to the zig unit.

It's not perfect, but the rear locker will be full of stuff before long, so it'll not be seen!!!

 

[gumbo]

yeah grab a pic mate. I'm gonna be doing a DIY lining soon could be doing with some inspiration

 

[Lee C]

Sorry Mr Gumbo, I forgot to take that pic for you
Might be visible in one of the pics below???

Well I put the horseshoe plates on & took em off again as I couldn't get the wheel back on :shock:

Lately I've been hanging round on TLB trying to learn more about type4 engines n heat exchangers & stuff like that!!
As I'm missing some bits which is stopping me getting the engine in :evil:

Pics???

Oh the pics!

Well it's difficult to photograph but Darren has spent all week on interior wiring & the zig unit, I between other jobs & moaning about the cold!!

Submersible pump etc.

This where the zig unit will go, & speakers, reading lights n stuff too.

Also we've had an extension built which us where she's hiding at the moment!!

Getting there????

 

[Lee C]

How to photograph wiring????

Big thanks to Mr P for my CPW (custom Parker wiring) :wink:

Hopefully my search for heat exchangers may be drawing to a close soon too!!!
So then it's project " finish the fooking thing" arty0006: arty0002: :bliss:

 

[Myvanway]

You have put a very cool twist on this project and I like the way you have not spoilt a Westy interior... just made it better..... Like Mycha.
