Nice 8) much better than your pink wheels :lol:
I am toying with the idea of alloys :roll:

Don't worry Shaun, the "pink" wheels are staying for a while yet.
I think you need to stop faffing about and make a decision, you still haven't got that deluxe trim on yet....

How do you know i havn't :msn4:

Rain stopped play on the nearside rear corner replacement today, so I decided to play with the new "toy" in the gap between showers.

Double bed or single bunks,

or a nice comfy couch.

The po has left me a drink.

It smells a bit damp, so decided to leave it up for an airing and then ripped the gash carpet tiles up to reveal the original lino.

A couple of jobs to do before it's ready for Easter, repair/replace the door lock, replace the storage box lock, wash all the curtains and seat covers, find a piece of lino for the centre section and then rip out and renew all the internal electrics.

About 20 minutes as this was the first time Des, and that included taking the pics as well.
I'll have to shave some time off that for when it rains during the summer....

Where did you pick that up from Sparky? It's really nice, but you must keep the curtains, reminds me of the early 70's.

I bought it from a chap on vzi, turned up at the right time and price. It has all the original interior and an awning.
It's all Justin's fault.

:lol:

Great thread and great bus

I love your rolling resto approach dude

I was checking out the thread on these things yesterday. Ultra cool, and I haven't seen that flower material since I was 5 or 6

The wife just walked past the PC and saw the flower material and said exactly the same thing!

So many memories of caravan holidays in the 70's flooding back. Brill 8)

PS.......not like you to let a bit of rain get in the way of serious work Sparky :mrgreen:

Loving the retro toys you acquire....!!!! 8) 8)

Part of the hanging wardrobe, but it'll be called the owl box from now on.

I love your shopping list, never know what you are going to post next

 

[sparkywig]

What started as a quick replacement window rubber turned into a much larger job this morning. Only replaced this last year. :|

Back at home to finish the sanding and get some paint back on. Decided to have a little go at a couple of spots on the roof at the same time. Really need a nice warm dry spell to get the sunroof off and do the complete roof in one go.

As I can multi-task occasionally, the seat box lid and spare wheel well cover got a coat of varnish as well.

Let's hope I can get on with the rear corner next week.

missed the folding caravan! proper cool 8)
