  16. Looks really nice! Liking the contrasting dark brown (?) over the cream trim around the window.
    Also loving the logo cut out on the end of the, uh, whatever it is... At first glance I thought it was a breadbin and now I can't think what else it might be! Some excellent woodworking skills there by the way - what wood is it?
     
  17. there is a sub tube under it - it is walnut
     
  18. God, now I feel like a muppet. Of course its a sub - why the hell would you have installed a breadbin?

  19. there is an amp under there as well - I will be coming to your bus to be fed - lol
     
  20. Fine with me - you'll have to provide the sound system!
    There'll be a wait on food though; I keep having to redesign the interior - I forgot all about storing bread! Back to the drawing board...
