A long bank holiday weekend saw both the floor and bed go in.
After work Thursday I was supposed to be meeting a van and man at the local timber yard to deliver a sheet of marine ply, only to find the place shut at 4 (assume they clocked off early for the bank holiday). Feeling a bit deflated I drove home and remembered Sydenhams is right next to my office, so swung in. Convinced the ply wouldn’t fit in my van (hence the man and van being my original plan), however it slid right through the rear hatch with ease:
Onto Friday and Saturday and we got the closed cell underlay trimmed down and fitted:
Plywood cut to size, sanded and sealed:
One large piece to cover the majority of the floor:
Followed by two smaller pieces towards the rear:
To avoid flexing around the joint I fitted a strip of ply underneath the floor and screwed all 3 pieces to it:
Sunday saw the rest of the cargo area carpet go in.
Stripping the old quarter panels of carpet:
Fitting the new carpet:
And all panels and bulkhead carpeted:
