More lining completed. I hate this job – really quite stressful and, of course, the finish is “final”. I’ve tried to do it in least seen order 🙂 I’ve had glue in my hair, mouth, face…. and it smells and tastes awful. Anyway!!! All 4 doors lined, 2 fully panelled…
The cab doesn’t need many changes, which is a good job as sometimes you can see why the Nissan is a budget van. The head lining for instance is made of cheese and far too easy to damage, so glad we didn’t have any plans to take it all down. …
Well today, fitted a dashcam and discreet cabling. The dashcam appears to be one of the best price/performance cameras and came recommended. For the money, the HD filming is pretty good Anyway, fitting is quite easy but thought I’d detail it here. The cable can tuck in on the top…
This was one of my most feared jobs – converting the front passenger seat to swivel and have adjustable runners, as by default its fixed. A bit of advice online and a few have done it, but some tough stories of getting the seat out and brackets off, and some…
What a hateful job! But now all 4 doors are lined. Word of warning – the doors with handles (OS & NS slider, and rear large door) leak internally. We guessed this was the case as you can see light out, but in driving rain when I was lining the…
All part of the overall plan – is a tow-bar mounted bike rack. We had hoped for one that would allow the doors to open, but the only one that “may” work is the Altura DL from Roofbox – but that is >£330 and quite heavy and extends back quite a…
Putting this post up in case it happens to anyone else and they google it, or indeed anyone can explain what went on and why. During the conversion, one of my primary objectives is to do minimise interference with the van itself, such that if I ever need it, I am…
We had planned to have a curtain rail that went around the cab windows, and then around the back of the seats so that we could have curtains blocking the cab off for wildcamping, or around the entire windows for campsite camping. Sadly, the reality is that the curtain rail…
Well, we decided to start with the OS sliding door as most of this will be hidden from view most of the time, so hence the best to practice on! Firstly, we have a ply lining kit which we used the bottom panel which needs to be held in place…
OK – just a quick progress update. See pics below In the OS alcove, there is now the 240v/12v charger and the 12v-12v battery-battery charger and the solar controller, and a cover has been made with Perspex view panels to see the LEDs and vents to keep cool. The cover…
