Evening all. Another few hours spent on the van today. Am really pleased actually because i'm starting to see things come back together fairly quickly now[^]
Started getting some of the interior back in which feels nice after seeing a cold empty shell for months on end. I was however a little worried that i still had all the bits and bobs of wood/screws/clips etc etc as with a house move everything just got kind of slung around. But, i must have paid a bit of attention to where things were going after all
Not everything is stuck down properly yet but things are in the places they should be, ready for fixing.
I have a small amount of welding left to do on the cab passenger side seat mount and i'm putting that away for a while too. I'll be done with that tomorrow all being well weather permitting. Anyway, i'm waffling......To sum things up....I'm happy with progress today, and it's nice to see Pia's clothes being put back on

Well, plenty of time on the van today as it was way too windy to work. Went about getting the rest of the interior in, but obviously not all plain sailing had to do some pretty sizable repair work to some of the rotten old cabinets and draw holders etc. Also had fun and games trying to work out how and where all the gas pipes go again. Anyway, i soldierd on and even started to make some new worktops as the old ones are ghastly and i had plenty of wood left over from the floor Took me longer than it should have done but i'm pleased with how they turned out[^] Still a fair bit to do but small steps/giant leaps etc etc

Summer's nearly done
Danish oil is the one i got too. Not daubed yet but i'm sure the result will look NEARLY as good as Harvey?

Evening all. Had yet another productive afternoon on the van today
Much of the same really. Although i also had a major setback
Passenger side floor and seat mount got some new metal
Tha poorly welded piece of metal you can see in the pic is only there to give the step panel something to stick to don't worry
Side fluted panel get's put in it's place
My setback is this, one of the back corner panel's don't fit too good, so much so, i need to cut up some floor and re-do it to make it fit better hey ho, live and learn i suppose.
This cheered me up no end though this is a sneak preview of our new colour scheme. Bex allowed me to upload.....YAY what do you think guys?
