It have to say rover... your going for a modern interior So it will look like you took it to rover for a updated interior

[Bean]

None of the parts are Rover, though

They're Triumph, VW and Mazda!

Don't know if I'll have enough space in my dash though, lol


I've just realised, I've not showed you what the dash looks like with the steering wheel and seats!!!


I'll go down and get a photo of it all trial fitted, today!

[Git]

Is it a Stiggy one?

[Bean]

Yessum!

[Bean]

Here's a piccy of the interior!




And a few more!









Whilst I was down there, I put his rear window seals on, just so it felt that I had done something!

We plan to actually go and see Frankie THIS weekend! So will hopefully have an update!

Wow bean, he looks stunning

Love the colour and the W&P arches look just right!

[Bean]

Aw, thanks - I'm just a bit gutted that we've not been able to work on him yet. But other things always get in the way, unfortunately

I've got all the suspension needed to build up his subframes, I think. I've got some Koni MPi shocks (One of my bargains from SMD last year! )

Thinking about the interior, too - Especially the load area. Not sure what I want to line it in. Was going to go for some wood, but now I'm thinking I might go for that thin flock-like carpet over the top. I'd be paranoid about marking the wood when getting equipment in and out!

Also thinking about the switches that I need on the dash board. We're going to be putting an inverter in the van, so that I can plug in things like phone chargers and my laptop when I'm away on a shoot. Or charge my camera batteries! I want to be able to flick a switch in the cab and turn it on or off. Just for convenience, really. Also thinking about lighting in the back of the van. Need to think about where to put them and what to use. - It's handy having an electrician around the house!

WOW Bean, that looks good.

Also i have an idea about the interior. PM me if your intrested

[Bean]

Pm incoming!

That means that sat nav will have to say rover and get lost

Or talk in a brummy accent and go on stick half way through your journey Lol

To make it liveable on long journeys, as vans can be a bit echoy when empty is to do something similar to what’ve done with the Mayfair’s headlining, trim the sides and roof in a thin foam/felt insulation and cover that with carpet (Bought two huge rolls form Malvern for £10) and then have something more hard wearing on the floor.

The vans looking amazinggg!

Just curious as to what the arches are?
