I've just got my '68 Deluxe back from McKinnon's Campers. So I thought I would show you all how good Jason McKinnon's work is. The '68 started out as a microbus, imported and 'treated' by Mark Walker at the Bus Station Slammin Shop.
Here is what Jason has done.
The new red interior was done by Chris at Trimming Tonic. Another top job, which was intended to mimic the original interior.
A brief overview of what has been done is as follows.
Full width Rock’n’roll bed.
Three 3 point Securon seat belts on the rear seat.
Black and White check floor.
Cherry wood sink unit/cupboard to house water tank, with waste to run to outside. Smev sink with glass top lid, black work top with deluxe metal trim and black insert, and built in 12v Virtifrigo fridge
Cherry wood cooker unit/cupboard to include Smev 2 burner hob, built on a rising hinge for outdoor use. Two lift up table tops to go between units and on outside, deluxe trim with black insert.
Tripod island leg table to use inside and out, with deluxe trim.
Rear roof locker with cargo net.
12v interior fan to rear roof locker.
Option 3 electrics includes full 12v and 240v systems.
Panel roof lining with six individual halogen lights.
JVC Ipod compatable stereo and speakers connected to run on leisure battery.
Curtains all round fitted to Silent Gliss curtain track.
"jail bars" to rear and side windows.
"raydot light" to cab door and connect to rocker switch on dash.
Wood rim and alloy 17 inch steering wheel.
The exterior of the bus is close to original, with quite a few examples of 41 years of knocks and scrapes. It's my intention to leave it that way.
I am well chuffed with the result, but would be interested to here your comments, as would Jason and Chris.

Classy without being overkill, and looks to be 1st class finishing
