He's just to modest, the pictures don't do this van justice, it really is a cracking example and a credit to Gary for all the hard work he's put into it.

Was this the Award picture you meant Ray ? It was well deserved :thumbs:

Pic Update

I made a new unit using the original drop down door, to house a fridge, this also incorporates a handpump tap.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r140/lucifar666/frid.jpg

Decorated the top of the newly made table with various photos and decals. We used waterslide transfer paper ( the same as used on airfix kits) these can be used with inkjet printers. Then 4 coats of satin varnish.

Fitting the cab ply headliner was a pain
The rear ply headliner had to be loosened to allow the cab liner to slide forward into the front section, this had to be done several times until the cuts fitted correctly,

Propex heater now in situ in the bottom of the wardrobe.
