This weekend’s job. Start the curtains. I’ve already made some tie backs out of the leftover vinyl I had. Should inject some 70s colour into the van!
Front seats finished
Lots more cutting up of old seat covers to make patterns from:
New pieces made up:
Sewing together:
And cover made:
Original frames back from the powder coaters looking brand new:
And the covers finished and fitted. No more ripped seat digging into my arse!
Roof bed complete and front seat tear down
Continuing with the van upholstery I got the roof bed cushions all made up and installed over the weekend. The rear one is gigantic and interesting to try and man handle around the sewing machine.
B sat and watched the kids on our street for 10 minutes or so. He loves it up there.
I’ve stripped down both front seats now to start making new covers for them.
The frames overall are in pretty good condition, however the drivers back had cracked:
Quick tickle with the welder and good as new:
Rear bed cushion finished tonight. Put through quality control by Max and B and installed in the van. We’re ready for basic camping now!
Rusty Lee Rock n’ Roll bed upholstered over the last few days ready for summer passengers.
