Wow Mel! I’ve just refreshed myself on your van by looking through your thread again. It’s great work you’re doing, and it’s fantastic to see the van all together again. It’s going to look wonderful on the road. A real head turner. Don Ricardo

You're doing great Mel. Looking really sweet. Soon you'll be bending your mind to how you're going to get it out from where it's hiding!!! That will be a video moment

My dad has put in the 12v wiring for us and the electrician is coming next week for the 240. I am happy with my very extravagant purchase of these side clearance lights. The guy who is going to be inspecting our van for registration lives nearby. He dropped over and gave us the OK to use our existing draw bar. We had it sand blasted and think it has scrubbed up ok.

We have completed a few more jobs over the last couple of weekends We added some extra floor joists, as the floor was very springy. A subfloor & Wall insulation in the spots that are not single ply. And some timber to mount the lights.

Well done, looking great in those colours. Can I ask where you purchased your whitewalls.

Thanks Chris. When we were using the mini digger, we had no idea the van weighed 2 tonne unloaded. Now we will have to rethink what sort of tow vehicle to purchase.

Congratulations on the plate. Lovely sidelights and beautiful colour scheme. I marvel at the calico roof treatment, so few are done that way these days. Bonza Job.
