Not posted here for a while, busy sorting teething problems, done some interior work, still ongoing...
decided to go the Danbury interior route as it most suites our needs as a family of 6.
nugsy sorted me out with some old buddy seats and roof locker for templates






stripping it down to re-ply

more to follow......

the interior panels were shot, all faded and ripped etc, so good ole ebay supplied some cream vinyl for £20, managed to re-use some panels but got sliding door and oppo from ebay(again)





buddy seat...


roof locker


the seatbelts were another ebay score, genuine microbus middle row seatbelts, now everyone can travel safley (well as safe as you're gonna be in a 43 yr old van )

Got us all the way to Cornwall and back :mrgreen:

all loaded and ready to go home




ok, so we couldn't face leaving Cornwall so went to Polzeath for the day before setting off that night.

Cheers dude, still a work in progress, but more about enjoying it than working on it at the moment.
