Paul. :D

Cheers!

As much as i like the more wilder installs, i really like to try and keep things a bit hidden, a bit stealth like, and i hate drilling holes in original bits, I'll tidy up the propex install a little more when i fit the 210aH batterys and solar set up, it's all a bit temporary under the bed, zig unit going soon too.

I am jealous of your curtains, i too had seen the fabric for sale, but never set any plans to make anything up, might have to badger my mums sewing machine...

Cheers!

Alistair


Pm me ya address and i will lend you Tracy's jig patterns.
If you want?!
 
As it was a nice & reasonably mild day, I decided to get my arse to the garage, fill Myvanway with Motion Lotion and go for a good old burn aroun the country side.
This was the first time I have driven her since fitting the 'Vintage Speed Exhaust, What a difference, not so much top end but the pull through the gears is much smoother and she dont pop and bang and judder any more!! Nice.. :D

Only thing is still sitting on the rear bumper, so Im gunner try putting a couple of washers at one end to lift it.
 
As stated these are the last three that we have....no more are being made as too time consuming with a full time job and young families.
Big thanks to Adam & Lee for there fantastic skills in making these fantastic pieces of bespoke furniture, you Guys have done an Awesome job.
Thanks to all those who encourage this little venture and **** the ones that didnt, we gave something to the scene that was cool/functional. 8)
and most of all hand made here in the uk!!!!! Oh...... and wasnt mass produce in a sweat shop in china!! :mrgreen:
