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:

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.

Next set of cabinets finished for Iris. Rear storage bins for bed sheets and clothes.

New Cali import front beam picked up from Simon at NOSVW just down the road from me. It’s amazingly solid compared to the old one:

He has some lovely buses down there including this little gem:

I’ve started stripping it, nice to see shiny solid metal:

Aiming to get this and the remaining running gear bits epoxied at the weekend, then top coated next week ready to bolt back on. I’ve also started cleaning up some of the brake components for paint:

N/S engine skirt repaired and trial fitted. In order to repair the O/S skirt I need the battery tray and new corner in place so it’s off with the corner! The inside of it is in relatively good nick but needs a jolly good cleanup.

A good Sunday evening job giving the dash instruments a clean up.
