Installed my new rear door handle today. Sure it'll come in useful.

Looks awesome so far. Would love to find out where or what the rear door handle came from. What is the part number?

Hi,

Can I ask how you fixed that ply side panel? Also are you intending to carpet the rear?

Cheers.

Already came in the van by the previous owner, screwed straight in to the van walls where there are raised sections as to not puncture the outer skin. So nothing special - just reusing old screw holes.

Be very interested to see the bed when it's done! I may have to update to a double bed in the future, opted for single for now :lol:

Looking good so far!

There's already a thread for the rear door handle on here. That's where I got all my part numbers from and called up my local TPS.

Thanks!
Been a while since I've done any work on it. Finally got some time to do some more! Just cut out my vinyl floor and hoping to stick it tomorrow. Once that's done, I Can make a start on building my bed. It's already had some design changes since the initial concept from the drawing, but still very similar.

Finally installed my vinyl floor. I wouldn't recommend using a sharpie to mark on it though... Fail. Looks smart though.
Also got all my trim back in. Can now officially start the design and build the bed.

Design has changed a bit from the initial concept, but it's pretty similar.
Been building the frame today. Hope to get it all together tomorrow and show you all what it loos like.
Fingers crossed my idea has all come together and there's enough clearance in the relevant places... :)
