All back on the ground and ready to go

I need bigger brakes they might be bright but they look lost behind the wheels

Had a couple of deliveries today can't wait to get the van back from the body shop to get the rails fitted and start soundproofing it

Started the sound proofing today with the dodomats Started with the roof first and cleaned it all down with meths to degrease it the sheets stick on very easily especially with a bit of heat from the hair dryer so roof all done just got the headlining to put back in so now to clean the floor and make a start on that

Finally finished the sound deadening to the floor today at the back of the van just waiting for the insulation to arrive on Tuesday and should be able to get the roof lining back in and the bulk head back

Nice work! Did you notice big difference with the sound deadening?

[Handyandy]

I haven't been out in the van yet but I've still got the side panels to do and the wheel arches as I use it every day for work I don't want to strip too much out so it's hopefully get finished next weekend now

[VD-Design]

I see! I just did the Doors and floors behind and under the seats and it made a pretty big difference

[Handyandy]

@vd design although I've still not finished the head lining and bulkhead are back in
I have found a considerable difference it's not a loud drone noise coming from the back like it was last time I don't have to have the radio loud to drown out the noise and can have a normal conversation while driving without raised voices
So I've still got the wheel arches and side panels to do I did get side tracked with the reversing camera not working as I found a broken wire and wondered what the hell the son and law done when he wired it up it looks a right mess so I've disconnected it put back the wiring to existing and I will sort it out when I get more time

I do really like that colourin the sun

[Handyandy]

@shrekdave81 Cheers mate I do like it myself and its totally different from the British gas blue and as there aren't many the same colour as mine it stands out a bit more

I've recently knocked up a temporary set of shelving for the rear as hopefully going to slowly convert it to a micro camper although everything will have to be modular as still need the van for work

The shelves are made from 9mm ply at the moment so as to keep the cost down with different configurations until I can get the feel of where everything is going
After spending the weekend at the lake near Llanrwst we have decided to make a few more alterations in shelf heights the porta potti is a must as the public toilets shut early and don't reopen till 9 in the morning
