    So the interior of Frankie was not the best (it was functional but not a nice place to be) (pics in the link in my signature)

    So the whole lot was ripped out and the seats were sent off to Jim Ley for recovering along with a set of recovered panels.

    The panels around the windows are all covered in hessian. A couple of coats of white matt emulsion made a huge difference (it's still not great, but will do the job). Next, a vinyl floor went in.

    After the floor, the panels started to go in.

    In with the kitchen and Propex heater. The kitchen had a gas feed for use by a fridge. High jacked that feed to supply the Propex. Single piece of copper from the Propex to the existing copper pipes with a single joint.

    Next went in part of the base for the R&R bed, wiring loom for things, power to the Propex and pipe work and secured in place.

    Only thing left to do is complete the cab area...watch this space.

    It certainly does. Are you attending Stanford Hall or Techenders?
