the bang bus

[gumbo]

Stunning bus and almost identical to mine. What's the plan for the interior? You have the nonwalkthrough like mine so will be interesting to see what you do.

the plan is to keep it simple. gonna have a cabinet in the corner behind the drivers seat at a 45 degree angle. another bench either side of that to match in with the r&r bed.

no cooker or sink, I prefer to cook & wash up outside the van

Picked up the steels from the powder coaters.

Didn't realise you're supposed to screw the dash mat down with the heater vents.

No wonder mine looks **** and yours sits so nicely.

I looked at that and saw how good it looked - was too embaressed to say mines just stuck on top too! Does look very nice screwed down properly - mines been like it for years, got one of the first earlybay ones from Madmats at a show years back!

Guess what i'm doing at the weekend.....

I had to use longer screws to get it to sit properly, 25mm & a lot of fiddling

Cheers.

it's a foil insulation from screwfix. page 112 in catalogue I think (maybe) . 2 rolls was just short but I had some left from my panel van build
