Rusty Lee Rock n’ Roll bed upholstered over the last few days ready for summer passengers.
After fitting the wrong hubcaps to the van I’ve now replaced them with a nice set of stainless steel caps that fit properly: I got sent an extra one by mistake (ssh!) so fitted it to the front spare: I’ve been continuing with the van interior over the last month or so. Fitted the rear […]
Not quite appreciating how dark it was getting we put the glue down for the floor about 7:15 and ended up putting the first batch of tiles on by iPhone and candle light (I couldn’t find any of my torches, suspect I left them down the workshop!). Not ideal but looked great: Finished up the […]

Both rear pieces of glass back in tonight with a huge hand from Max. These are quite simply horrible to fit.
More cutting and polishing this week, cab doors this time. Both cab doors rehung on the van, and all built up with new handles and mirrors (you can just see the new wheels on too, love how these look): I’ve started cavity waxing the life out of everything to try and preserve my work. Bumpers […]
