  4. the roof itself is insulated from the inside
    I installed a plywood strip in the middle

    [​IMG]

    between the top edge of the wall and the ceiling
    I installed such an aluminum profile J

    [​IMG]

    the same profile went to the ceiling plywood strip
    and plywood goes in between

  16. next step was the ceiling
    last time finished so it was left unfinished
    this time made more test pieces and real pieces as well
    and that's how it came out

    looked again for the fabric I bought earlier

    [​IMG]

    did a test piece to see how the fabric reacts to the glue
    next time will be more gluing

    I made some using the cap from aerosol cans and chrome paint. Not sure of the diameter but mine went straight into the centre of the wheels I made them for on my T4
     
  19. Some thoughts
    I'm researching
    how big is the market for a 6 rib box and how much does it cost
    is anyone here interested
    the box is blast cleaned
    disassembled, replaced some synchronizers, and reassembled with new gaskets
