Sneak Preview 69

[uber cool]

belt trim looks great.
Braver than me fitting that! I'd have a panic attack and the drill would probably slip.

You must have balls the size of teapots!

Thanks Magiceddie, I love just adding to my bus, though I do fancy an Early Devon :shock:

Anyway, it was MOT day today................and it Passed. Yeah! 8)

It had a full service etc and I thought that I would mark the occasion with a bit more OG shiny stuff.

Also for those who live anywhere near Monmouth......try out Whitchurch MOT centre......top place, i'll put more detail up later.

How is the light wired up? And how is it mounted? Doesn't look like it drilled onto the bumper
I'm watching a yellow single spotlight on Ebay and am still undecided :? about how to wire it. Seperate switch maybe if so wherew have you taken the feed from? Is it independantly switched or does it require you to have the lights on?

Surely there cant be much else you can do to the bus, must be time for a new one :lol: :lol:

Hello there new dad

The spot is mounted on the bumper, using a hole that was already there. I have put a wire up through where the speedo cable runs and gone to a direct live on the fuse box, can't remember which one. And I put in an inline switch.

I think there is a picture somewhere in this thread showing where I mounted the switch.

Good luck with the spot.

 

[windsurfer]

Looking good

 

[BigG]

Best of everything there, looking really sweet 8)

Who does the repro back trims by the way?

(Wibbler PM sent)

With the weather being so rubbish and our trip to Cornwall planned for Friday I have been sat in the garage trying to tidy the bus out and get rid of any unwanted weight.

Also I managed to make a curtain for the cab area where Matthew sleeps, I got inspiration from Dubberdaz's So23.

I found an old ally curtain rail which I had in my garage and used the plastic clips to hold it in place. I had to drill one small hole but there was a split there anyway so didn't feel too bad.

What do you think?

This is such a simple thing to do, I just hope Matthew doesn't pull it down within 5 minutes.....he can be so heavy handed. :mrgreen:

 

[cotswoldiver]

Another nice touch Jon. Always like following progress on your bus. Have a good holiday, hope that Devon is still there for you when you come back, but if the timing is right I can't see you having any problem selling your current bus on to a lucky new owner
Take care

Looks good. Should keep the little one asleep longer.

Just noticed that you store your wind break up in the roof, :idea: will give it a try as ours is currently in the walkthough gap and gets in the way.

 

[Magiceddie88]

Wind break? :? Whaaa???

Si, it is amazing what will fit in the sunroof void, I have 2 wind breaks, 2 umbrellas, mossy net, spare floor mat and a sun canopy. I still have room for the sleeping bag bags when we are camped up too, plus loads more room.
