    Picked this up a couple of months back, done a bit of welding to the cargo floor ! Now getting ready to put the Bluebird full width R&R bed in, so spent the day insulating and installing a bit of wiring. Used Thermowrap, a bargain at just over a tener a roll reduced in Homebase, used two rolls so far. Dull pic's but.....

    Clean bus that one, love a good panel!

    Are you going to put some acoustic pads in the back to stop the reverb, or counting on the interior to do that - both work, thought I'd ask as you haven't panelled it out inside yet!

  7. Had some trouble with the alternator, but after some advice from helpfull people on this site all resolved. Then I thought I'd better tackle the lack of fuel gauge.....so cut a hole.

    So, on with the interior.....took inspiration from Gumbos interior pic's. Ordered some foam backed vinyl for boat interiors from ebay bargain at a fiver delivered, on with the roof lining.

    Pleased withed out come, as I don't want to lose the panel van "feel" so left the roof struts showing. More purchases from ebay, van lining carpet. So of to B&Q for some ply, out with saw and this is what Ive ended up with.
