show me your diy interior units please!!!

Hi , we have a 1979 lhd empty bay , i am thinking of making the units in the back myself , thinking of having over head head locker , wardrobe over spare wheel area, long unit down the same side with husky fridge , rock n roll bed and a storage box that goes between front seats that doubles up as a kind of buddy seat , also want over head storage above long unit with the fridge in. Pictures for ideas would be much appreciated also materials used and any tips for fitting etc , many thanks lee.

 

do a search for 'interior' and there will be loads of previous threads mate, theres some amazing ones on here!

 

pretty special arent they!

 

Here's mine. The latest iteration, so far...







and a little bit of fun with the dashboard.

 

Bit low on storage space, that one.

 

Couple of pics of mine

 

Some nice interiors there. I have 3 sprogs so need the full width rock and roll bed that comes with the Helsinki to get them all strapped in the back with us 2 up front but I can see myself maybe looking to redo the interior on ours next year after a summer of working out exactly how we use the current space / layout etc. I'm already going to try and put the overhead locker I got off a Berlin into the Helskinki layout but I imagine it's a slippery slope once you start changing the original Westy interior

 

This is ours

 

No wardrobe as we wanted an open airy feel

 

Very clean and clinical @Colin, I like the headlining.

 

Read that wrong. Thought this thread said " Show us your dirty interiors" I must take more notice.

 

It matches the missus' rubber gloves

here is my threads concerning my interior!!

 

Berlin overhead locker isn't full width as it meets with the wardrobe (i don't think a helsinki has that?). Our berlin doesn't have a rear wardrobe any more so we re-made the overhead unit to be full width:

We replaced our berlin 3/4 bed with a full width so that we could carry three across, with the two outers using proper 3 point belts.

 

Yeah The Helsinki has a very similar wardrobe to the Berlin but no overhead locker so I was going to put the Berlin overhead with the Helsinki wardrobe and see how that works however with the wardrobe out I kind of like the extra space. Plenty more to do before I make a final decision though!

 

Started the process of cleaning up / refurbing the old sink unit in my Helsinki and the pump fitting that screws into the water container has snapped when I tried to unscrew it I'm sure I can get another bit / pump to fit etc but as this unit already has 1/3 missing at the back for the previous air con unit and is covered in termite / rat / mouse crap (nice USA import!) I'm thinking about maybe redoing this unit completely as do I actually need a water tank with sink etc? Has anyone done anything exciting with a similar unit or convince me it's worth refurbishing the standard Westy sink unit? Ta muchly

 

cheers everybody , they are all brilliant and plenty of ideas to be going off

 

Bit of home brew from me.
