Two rear windows and roof vent installed today. Cordless grinder was a godsend for this job. No in progress pics as phone was on music duty but here is the finished article.

Roof lining almost done, really starting to shape up now.

 

[Cuthy246]

More lining done, makes such a difference to the feel of the inside. Much less van more mini home on wheels.

It does look like a sauna doesn't it . Plan is to leave the ceiling natural and whitewash the side walls. Should make it less sauna like

 

[123hotchef]

i like the wood just seal it gets my vote no white wash

Got some carpet lining in. Top of carpet is where bed frame will be. Everything below is storage.

It looks like the old Group 4 Securities prison transport with those rear windows

Almost all the cladding is done now. Some carpet lining has also been done and the bed frame is coming along nicely.

Looks smart. Quite a high bed though - can you sit on it without hitting your head?

Yeah, with a 4 inch mattress you get about 3 inches of headroom when sitting. It will be used as a seat when the table is up.

Ooh, a mobile sauna

The wood cladding is done! Well nearly almost 100% done. Just 2 vertical boards left and it's done.

Working on removing the gearbox today. Knew it would need a rebuild when I bought it. Drained the oil and I am glad it's coming out now, pretty sure gear oil is not meant to be that colour

Looks good, I can’t figure out how the cladding is fixed on the roof and sides, I see a tube of glue but can’t think what you’d be gluing to. What’s the secret

On the roof and sides there were pressed steel ribs that form the frame. Each board is held in at either end with a stainless steel self tapper on the walls. Same for the roof but that has additional fixings in the middle along the length. Glue was mostly to hold the insulation in place until the foil went on.

Gearbox out, not too difficult to do just a lot of hassle having to take the hubs out.
