1976 TaigaGrun Dormobile Overhaul - Toodle Deux

Good Job Phil, you have been working so hard on it, and im very proud but i think your forgetting something....... SAM has also learnt to sew..... the curtains are done and ready to be hung, also the tie backs, and debating whether to make cusion covers and matching bags for the tie backs for extra storage, that is all, peace out, lol so much going on all the time, with work the van and Grace getting lots of bugs inbetween, i am very much looking forward to going out in it yayyy go Phil!!

Looking good PSG, keep the updates coming.

I'll be setting about the upholstery in mine soon, got the machine, got the right needles, got some scraps of leather, watched lots of youtube vids, and a skilled friend has offered to give me some pointers and lessons before I take the plunge on the real thing.

 

@Kruger,

Good luck with the upholstery, ita a plunge worth taking.

Fab job has been done to this one,,,,big like

 

good work phil,maybe interested in the spare seat for my panel if your gona sell it,no runners on that though is there?

 

looks great dude


Full on mental rotten resto next then?

 

Toodle down at the workshop getting fit. Chequered floor will probably go though as we dont like it.


getting involved now on a budget. But hopefully it will look mint, did loads today, just the worktop, but need to find a hob to fit first.

Watch this space for how to interiorise on a budget..

Zed, black leather headliners are so rock and roll.

I like the simplicity of your interior Phil, it looks great. No pics of the headliner so I guess you've not done it yet?

 

Nicely done

 

luuuuuuuuush - simple but very nice

 

there are also some flush(ish) aluminum handles to be fitted and a 2 burner lpg hob. Im about to tackle the electrics for the leisure battery, only running the fridge, i figure keep it simple, battery powered lights will do just fine, and after all its going to be light up til about half ten for the forseeable month anyway. Got the 240 hook up unit all ready to go, it has two 240 plug sockets integrated so if we are hooked up, then i have lights on the unit and plugs for the fridge and then whatever else.

trying to cross original vw styles with a modern execution. Hoping it is satisfying enough for you guys as much as it is for me.
