I fitted a double swivel seat into my sons 2015 Peugeot Boxer about two years ago. This seat had seat belts fitted to the seat frame so seat belt mountings were not required. I mounted it on a frame that I welded up and drilled down through the floor and used mild steel plates to strengthen...

I've found that the best way is to get an old kitchen knive and sharpen the blade well, on an oil stone preferably. Then using leather gardening gloves use the knife like a spoke shave and gradually slice the excess bonding agent away from the bodywork. Then work on the glass in a similar way...

Hi Mark, well I've done about 600 miles since the problem righted itself so fingers crossed what ever caused it was a one off. 🤷‍♂️. Phil

Upholstery has arrived and I've just finished the blinds. 😁.Phil

As promised a few photos of the carpeted back doors and the blinds casettes, I'll be finishing the fitting of the other blinds tomorrow. Phil

I thought I'd put up some photos of the tile edging I use to hide the carpet edges and gives the carpet a nice straight edge finish. I've carpeted the rear doors today and will post the results tomorrow. Phil

Great job, looks the part, paint job like that is a Labour of love. Phil

It's things I have taught myself over the years Squirrell, mainly patients and trial and error, usually error 😄. I have always been of the argument that if someone else can do it so can I 🙂. This present build has taken me almost 4 months at nearly full time and I reckon I've still got a month...

These are cassettes I've made to house the eco blinds. These take alot of care and time to produce but really worth the effort for a professional appearance to house the blinds and stop them hanging away from the wall plus stops them from flopping about and rattling while travelling the last...

Just rear doors to carpet and then onto eye level lockers. Phil

As an aside to carpeting, that is stretch carpeting, those who have Done this will I'm sure agree that it is not a quick or easy job on a build. In my post you will see where I have carpeted around the o/s opening window down to the long day bed, to do this properly and with a professional...

Few photos of continuation of build, started on the carpeting and upholster has arrived to initial fit seat/bed foam. Sis in law has been using it over the last few weeks on long weekends and I've had a bad cold over the last week so progess is a little slower than I had hoped.

If the boards do not need to be removable then I would as I have always done stuck the ceiling board up with evo stick "Sticks like shit". Believe me once it has gone off you could physically hang your body weight from the ceiling. All that is needed is blocks stuck to the roof or roof...

Well Mark, your correct ofcourse that nagging doubt has been on my mind but I've now had three outings since the problem solved itself,consisting of over 50miles each time and various reverse gear use and it's still working fine. I have no idea why this happened as reverse gear in the box is a...

Yes I did Squirrell, there was little to no debris or filings on the diff sump plug, but I did notice a certain amount of brass colour in the oil but to be honest I'm not sure if that is the type of oil that was put in at the factory in Italy? The synchro on all forward gears is perfect and it...

Guess what, I said to the wife seeing as all the forward gears are perfect we'll go to a rally at Margam Park near Swansea, so phoned the rally officer to say we might need a hand to reverse off our pitch unless he could site us in a drive on drive off pitch. No problem he said and off we went...

Hey ho, Great weekend this weekend at Brecon in Wales lovely sunshine. Reversed off the pitch at home time and drove the fifty odd miles back home went to put it into reverse to park it up on the back drive and it refused to go into reverse. Did a few checks under the bonnet and all was well...

Few more of the Chinese heater installation, for those that are interested. Phil.

Yes Phil, we have discussed this and I have made provision to change the set up to take a Gasit type tank in the future but needs must in a budget that at this point in time it was cheaper to set up initially with a standard calor gas bottle. Phil. P.s. Mind you I remember when we used to go...

The very latest. Almost there with the kitchen, Sis in law delivered the Micro wave and Bluetooth radio today, so much for budget build 😁. Though seriously she wants to travel the continent with it and I think she will. "RESPECT" to her 👏. Phil.
