Paras bus resto

  1. Cheers for the input razzy
    I have it my memory that that cupboard used to annoy me but that interior got binned in
    2006 so maybe I’ve got confused.

    So that gives me the option of blocking one window.

    To clarify, rear side window not middle window.
     
  3. Mrs para says the cabinet probably got on my tits because I couldn’t see out of the window when I was lay in bed

    I’ve come across these on eBay

    If those will fit my gutters then adding a length of box section steel or some uni strut
    Should allow me to mount my awning,traction boards etc to the side just above gutter height.

    Oops yeah just clicked your link:oops:
    I designed a set of bumpers that these guys fabricated and ordered 8 of the brackets linked below.

    For what I want they are a neater solution.
    They've increased in price 3 fold nearly since ours arrived. Currency strength now makes them even worse value:eek:

    Rack's still to be mounted but likewise when I've done that:thumbsup:

    Bit of seam sealing and started prep on the outside of the middle panel and the front arch.

  13. I’m sweating my tits off
    It’s not helping that the panel is about as flat as the surface of the moon
    I don’t think pw put a long block anywhere near it

  15. Front arch and middle side panel all prepped now
    Just a final wipe down and a bit of masking
    Then hopefully paint on Friday
    It’s supposed to be 20 degrees so a good temperature to paint at.

    I also had a see how high above the pop top
    The traction mats would sit if they were mounted at gutter level

  16. And it’s painted
