Not anticipating much progress on the bug for a while with us in lockdown so cracking on with the remaining van cabinets. Finished the rear cubbies today and got Max’s reading light installed! Just a buddy box and cooker unit left now.
Barnaby the spanner dog stripping a bug door in the garden for me. 2 more to go.
The O/S A pillar bottom wasn’t in a good state either so needed chopping out.
And another autocraft A pillar repair tacked into place for now.
More lights installed in Iris. Super bright in there now.
A small table made up for Iris. Max came out to do some watercolour while I made a start on the rear cubbies.
Baja bug O/S A pillar in need of some attention! Looking very crusty once I peeled the surrounding metalwork away.
Bottom 10cm chopped out and a quality autocraft repair panel tacked into place for now.
Door fitment and gaps checked to make sure A pillar repair is in the right place. Looking good.
A little further on the van electrics over the past few weeks.
Leisure battery installed and Ctek battery to battery / solar charger installed. Only the b2b component is currently wired up:
Fusebox hidden away in the redundant spare wheel well:
And I’ve started running wires down to the components. Thus far I’ve done the fridge, propex, 2 of 4 strip lamps and the usb charger:
