This morning my 1st job was to lift the floor. I was confronted with half a tonne of sand which took an age to clean up.


But eventually I got to this.


Rear seatbelts removed and all panels wiped down.

Time for the F1 qualifying.

 

[Tim Sparkes]

So after clearing up the sandpit and the two and a half hour qualifying I got busy with the Silentcoat.



Wheels arches were done the following morning.



Red oxide paint applied to the holes drilled in the floor and walls.

And a nice cup of tea on the side.

If it's not tea its beer.

The rest of yesterday was taken up with applying thermal insulation to the walls and roof. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether I've left enough room in the roof for the lights. Guess I'll find out once my @travelvolts order arrives.







Before I finished for the day I applied Polymer Sealant to the holes in the floor.

Busy evening. Wheel arches carpeted and seats removed for a Vax and to aid the rest of the carpeting. I'm also £1.63 and a crayon better off.

Whilst I was away from home with work the wife did a little bit of spring cleaning.

If you own a 2nd hand van and have OCD, DO NOT look under your cab flooring!

 

[Trevor]

Working hard on that van

 

[Tim Sparkes]

Its been a busy couple of days. I'll let the photos do the talking.

 

[Jono]

Wow, looks like a great job. It’ll have that new van smell and appearance when you’ve finished.

 

[Tim Sparkes]

A productive weekend.



Need to tidy up the electrics but at least they're working.

 

[Tim Sparkes]

Wow, looks like a great job. It’ll have that new van smell and appearance when you’ve finished.

Thanks very much. Really enjoying the experience.

 

[Tim Sparkes]

Some hard work in the evenings this week has paid off. Really happy with the results.



All the cables have been labelled



Supervised throughout



Left side complete

Not a huge amount done this weekend but did manage to finish the roof. Also took a visit to Central Ply-Lining to get my 12mm floor. Would definitely recommend Gary, really friendly and knowledgeable.
