See how things go with ours first, and if your impressed..... 8)

I think there might be a market there for refurb work maybe!?
(Helps keep the van on the road!!)

The curtains cost quite a bit in the end coz the width wasn't there and Tracy wanted them to the exact sizes so it took a lot of material to make them,
and they were double sided not single with white black out. (Patten on both sides)
With Dirtyharrys measurements and studying the stitch patterns Tracy done a mint job.
Not OG.... New oldskool I call it!

Also we are making a few things for toffo on here as to show what else we can do besides our Buddybox... 8)

I will look into this as things progress with ours, Tracy is keen but depends on demand how
Far to take it! And time is so precious with a little one.


If it all goes well I guess you could be our first Guinea pig! Alistair!!! :mrgreen:

 

[Myvanway]

Ooooooo what a cracking arse!

I love the exhaust, it's very subtle. I was wondering though, would it still fit with over riders?

Mr Brightside did it on his. 8) (Link):

I spoke to Dan at Volksworld about this, he said if you tell him what spec you want they'll make you the right shaped exhaust 8)

What battery do you have Stu (Starter/Main)?

 

[StuF]

Hi mate - for my both my main battery and leisure I am running a couple of these

Banner Energy Bull Leisure Battery 95551 12V 72Ah

http://www.totalbatteries.co.uk/i-Banner-Energy-Bull-Leisure-Battery-95551-12V-72Ah-I8268.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Work a treat and were still holding 13v and 16v respectively after not running the bus since Ninove so are pretty robust even in these very cold conditions.

I never got around to getting the fabric, i would never get around to doing it, it would sit in the garage with all the other bits "waiting" And as you say, with a little familly also, time is scarce. Even though my Mum has giving me a sewing machine - it's way older than me, and probably not man enough.....

I think we all look for little avenues to make a bit of coin for the bus fund, mines westy mozzy mesh and overider edging, though it's a small pot, every little helps as they say.

Look forward to seeing what else you produce, I'd quite happily guinea pig for you! :lol:

Cheers!
