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:
More fresh metal going into the baja project today.
Repairs to the outer panel of the front bulkhead finished.
N/S end of the napoleons hat refreshed with a cut from a LHD repair panel.
Next up, new A pillar bottoms.
Sneaky peak of my late night activities sorting the electrics in the van. Only one light installed so far, more brightness to come!
The leisure electric gadgets for the van have arrived! Time to get the living area wired up.
