Tintop Tracky westy

[popcorn balls]

I'm afraid I did have to raise it up a tad The new height is growing on me though and the ride is even smoother now. It may go back down a little when i get a decent tucked up exhaust sorted.

Still looks good at that height and more practical for getting on/off the drive

Will take some tomorrow - have you got the ali strips for joining the ply sheets?

 

[Grazy]

Yeah got two of them , Do you have any spares then , if you do i am interested mate 8)

 

[popcorn balls]

haha, no spares i'm afraid......... well, not full width for tintops anyway. I might have got a couple of the short bits (about 8"?) that go at the side of the hole on pop tops. Not sure if they are still in the garage or if they went in the last clearout!

Busy weekend - a few general servicing jobs and.....

Made and fitted mk2 of the 'westy' rear seatbelt bracket (see detailed seatbelt thread http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6944&p=150979#p150979" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

and shortened the ridiculously long dipstick sender

Ultra rare Westy cabinet... It's unique

Just needs grooves cutting for the edge trim and hinges fitting.

I don't particularly like the westy sink units, IMO they just take up to much room and block the doorway too much..... So

Start with a spare side from a battered wardrobe and a table top....Measure, measure again, then measure once more...

Take a deep breath and start cutting it into pieces :shock:

Start fastening them together.....

Bit more cut and shut, and trial fitting in the bus....

Top and 'flap' made from table top and bottom door fitted. Brew shelf gets first use :lol: Also allows easy access to sliding door handle.

Thanks to shiney Steve for the joinery skills. I'm well pleased with the result, just need to sort the trim, hinges and handles now and reckon it'll be spot on. We tried to make it look like something that could have been there as standard.....

Nice one dude 8)

 

[popcorn balls]

Cheers, I only went ahead with it because the rest of the spare wardrobe was beyond all hope - absolutely mullered :shock: I wouldn't go chopping up good original furniture!!

 

[popcorn balls]

Everything out - all nice and solid

New floor covering in and new unit now has correct edge trim

Tomorrows job is cutting and sealing new headlining and side panel boards.....

 

[Grazy]

Looking good buddy , Where did you source the flooring ??

 

[popcorn balls]

freebie :msn4: from work when they were redoing the corridors. Its the type that has carborundum particles in it to make it hard wearing and anti-slip.

 

[Grazy]

Kool and the gang , I know the stuff you mean as i am a floor layer 8)

 

[popcorn balls]

New ply roof lining in - that's an easy job....NOT :shock:

New ply side cards and interior going back in

 

[popcorn balls]
