  1. Love it!!! Orange laminate - Thats what Im after. Can you do mine for me?
     
  2. Love the demountable cooker unit and some really nice touches....looks like it'd be a great practical bus to camp in....top job! Do Dickies....:D

    How about a seat cushion to go on top of the base of the cooker unit, when removed?
    or is that your cunning plan to to use the base as a bed support?

  3. Yes I did made a cushion for the top base unit as well, same color as the rear bench, you' ll see that later on my last holisays pics!
     
  4. Very clean, slick yet retro and keeping with the van. Nice work.

  5. My first problem wasn' t my interior actually!.... renting a cheap garage was.... but all this garages are quite low in France.
    Good excuse to drop my camper van;). I bought a sway a way, a pair of dropped spindles (made by Black Hands France, a genius!), and rear spring plates from Creative engineering (top quality).
    So we had to dismantle the front part to install the complete kit....[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]Here is the result!!! [​IMG]...one inch from the main door opened!.....[​IMG]

  6. ...But I needed to lift the bus up a bit, I did rub the stab bar everywhere.... so I needed to modify my roof window... cutting the diamond, and made a bespoke white altuglass (4mm) to replace it.
    Everything is fixed with scews and Silkaflex (white).[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG] that will allow more space to set the front suspensions.

  8. The base of the front face has been awfully remade a while ago.... with resin, I decided to clean it up a bit, and nice surprise..... more than 1 cm deep with rivets and metal sheet . Mental.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    A very nice job, good layout and well made. Where did you get the 15mm lightweight board in France?
