Got a free day today and knocked up some seating and storage.....as for the table have to play about with that to get it at the right height then it will come down and when not in use it will sit flush with the seating.....

Another wee bit done over last few days
Picked up some colorail fittings from b&q...£6 alot cheaper than bigger ones online with the scene tax added on to them...and had a rail I kept from an old ikea wardrobe...need to get another one £5 and add another leg to make it more stable....
And done the 2 ends....had some polystyrene sheets to get nice snug finish against the side panels.....no gashley gaps.will be adding some 12v 240v to these ends so that gives me some time to decide whether I stain/vinyl or 4 way stretch carpet it....
Hopefully get more done over next few weeks....will be making another bit up for middle when the material arrives.....kids could sleep there if need be....or myself if I ever get thrown out of the house....

4 way stretch arrived...
Managed to get two bits done for now
Picked up a pole for table in the bargain bins in b&q

We bit more done over the last while....when I bought it guy told me that he had to use cold start to start it if it had been sat overnight....so I read up and alot sayed pump timing.....had the timing done but still the problem was there....so I started to change the glow plugs.....out of the 4 none worked....bit fiddly to do but well worth it...she fired up instantly...

Next I need to install some switches to operate any lights etc in the back....got these 12v rocker switches and put them in the blank ones

So on to the back....got some cheap colourful lino for cheap and put it in..finished off the bed with the middle bit of foam....and added a hook up for whenever we are on a site....

Check out the VW Buzz coming 2022 (allegedly). It's about the next best thing coming anytime soon. I personally love it.
