Nice transformation! 8)
Especially considering the inbetween pics Lobie hasn't shared!
I guess the silver lining in the thing smoking up is that you've really made it yours - hope you continue to love it for years and years to come :)

I remember your post about your fire. :(

Glad you got it fixed up...looking great again 8)
 
Looks good and well done for keeping at it (a bit too much bling for me though, sorry)

Looks lovely lobie, especially like the whitewalls. Your bus is gadget crazy, is there any bling you don't have?! :lol: :mrgreen:
 
Great mods Lobie. Love what you've done with a fairly standard camper. Looks quite unique and recognisable now. What's next?

bit of a shock really :shock:
 
You shouldn't be shocked. You have a very nice van indeed.
Some may find it doesn't suit there taste but if we all drove the same looking vans it would be an extremely boring scene!!
Variety is the spice of life. :D
Keep up the good work Lobie.
