  12. So to bring this thread up to date.
    I got the van from the body shop at the beginning of 2019 and the started to make plans for the interior, I bought a canvas for the roof from NLA, but when this tried to be fitted in the easter of 2019 it did not fit, it was to small. I had a couple of other set backs in how the van ran, including the rear brakes binding onto the drums, problems with the gears and time was running out as I was going to Glastonbury in the van. I took it to Johnsons Autoworks where the following was done.

  13. With little money left for the interior it was put on hold until the beginning of this year. Work began on putting cables in for the 12v and rear speakers

    Insulation was put on the bare surfaces and curtains put in temporary so I can measure for cupboards.

    The bed was also fixed in.
     
  14. Insulation, then plywood was placed on the floor, along with more Electrics.

  15. I then began to make the cupboard along the offside of the van starting behind the drivers seat, the first cupboard was to hold the space saver wheel and water container, also a bottom cupboard for spare parts and tools etc.

    The next space holds the fridge in.

    Looking great! Are you making the interior? [Edit: see you are making it!]
     
  17. This left me with the next cupboard to hold cutlery in and a space for gas bottle and storage

  18. I then started to make the cupboard over the engine. I've got solar panels fitted on the roof rack, so the display for that is next to the Propex thermostat with 240v plug sockets and 12v Sockets
