Slowly plugging away - Marine ply cut out for the floor, I'm trying to decide what to lay on top but will try to find some retro vinyl if I can.

Kustom Kombi Rock n Roll bed in and a couple of tables as well

Got a few more hours in on the interior yesterday, and worked on the rood lining. Plenty of head scratching was done trying to make it all work with no instructions.

Very bloody hard to get the ply to sit right and I ended up having to wedge some timber strips along the outer edges of the roof to stop the ply bowing and sitting up high.

I've lined the inside of the ply with foil backed insulation which should help to keep temps down a little.

I've no idea how the hell the rear section is supposed to work as the rear ply sections are too short but I'm going to put in a headbanger storage nook in so it wont be able to be seen anyway.

The ply head lining looks pretty cool, would you recommend it?

Thanks Fellas

Scott, I like the look and the side panels fit pretty well but the roof has been a lot of fiddling about to get it to fit.

There is a guy on SSVC in the UK that makes roof kits that might be a better option.

Bit more progress, this stuff takes a lot of bloody time!

Two days work to make a seat and headbanger cabinet...... in and out of the splitty about a million times, cut a bit, sand a bit. The seat base and back are hinged to use for storage.
