    You've got a nice sleek interior! :jealous:

    Do you know what? I hate doing/takes too long the stuff you're doing, but you make a lovely job of it. Next time I have to do a complete resto I'd consider stripping the running gear and sending it to you for Paradox treatment. Get yourself a discreet "Paradox" logo on the bits people see and Bob's your uncle - a business you can do from home in front of the telly. :thumbsup:

  16. Yup the interior is a new to me purchase today and is a massive step towards the bus being usuable

    I must be sad as i actually enjoy doing all the detailed bits lol
    If you do want some parts detailing in the future then give us a shout dude and we will sort somthing out
     
  17. nice progress Para... 8)

    Glad I said something nice about it then!
    Have you got the strips down each side to hook a wood headliner into? I think I see them on your picture? That's a bonus. I haven't got them - mine had fabric but I want wood just to be difficult (it's cheap!). The greedy sharks want about £100 for the two strips and two H section joiners so I'm going to have the side bits hand crafted from oak or beech - it'll be cheaper! H section I expect I can find.
