I always try to log in every so often Dowel, it's good to keep an ear to the ground 😁.Phil

Sorry Dowel Sorry I'm in Biarritz France at the mo and been on the beach enjoying the waves 😁. You can get various sized tiled edging I use an edge that is just greater than the depth of the stretch carpet, I use evostick contact adhesive to glue it to the metalwork of the doors or where ever...

For having a cup of tea or putting my glasses and phone on etc at night and in the morning, I've made these mods for me and the wife when the day beds are made up to double bed we deploy the shelves then during the day when it's seating we put the shelves into the down positions so that the...

Just looking through some of the builds Phil, I still think you've done a cracking job on Millie 👌👍.Phil

I'd have thought any innovations Dave. Phil

Yes a few. These are Sis in laws van blinds. On mine I just did the back two windows but on my sons we did both rears and he got fed up doing them for his side windows and ended up with swinging blinds when motoring 😆. On the Sis in laws I did both rear doors, both rear sides and both fronts...

One innovation that I have used now on three vans is Ikia eco blinds with a home made cassette, not only are they cheap to buy but also come in varying colours and sizes. The actual cassette can be a bit tricky and time consuming but I feel that the end result is good not only aesthetically but...

A lot depends on if you get it classed by DVLA as a Motor Caravan, this will then make it somewhat easier to get it insured with an agreed value. However because insurance companies are aware of the DVLA's awkward stance on self builds, many of them will now insure your vehicle at an "Agreed...

Looks great, nice finish 👏. Phil

Hi ya jonnyboy, No actually it took about the same time 6.5 months nearly full time work. To do it properly I have to say it takes time, but of course if you are going to build the same design exactly each time I can see that it could become a lot faster using the same templates etc. As for my...

I used van pimps, they were the cheapest and very fast on delivery. I have not seen anything that would suggest that their windows are substandard, infact they all seemed very good quality. Phil P.s. These are the windows that I fitted to my sis in laws van, as in my posts on building it on...

Yes I see what you mean Kev, I actually did zoom in on it late last night and was going to say this morning that it was a home built, but got busy readying the van for leaving dinner time for Margam Park Rally and forgot about posting. Phil

Must have been a very specific caravan then Kev to have it's wheel base in the exact area that the panel van rear wheel base happened to be in conjunction with the cab area. I still feel that it was a commercially built " Motor caravan" I Still think it's a commercially built vehicle and sold...

Then the position of lamps has been down graded since I was an MoT tester/ Authorised examiner licenced operator. As when I was involved the position lamps had to be within specific limits from the outer edge of the vehicle hence my arguments with pre VOSA, over American imported cars. Maybe it...

It really depends on if the rear light cluster is obscured from directly behind the vehicle, as the mot testers manual ( Some years ago admittedly) states that the sidelight/ brake light and indicators should be visible from the rear of the vehicle. As if you where at 90degs or more from the...

I don't think that van is customised Nabsim, it looks like a commercial coach built to me. Phil

Some over hang on that waggon Kev, 😳. Phil

Decals added today, getting ready for the great DVLA challenge cup 😆Phil.

Hi Rodger, are all the wiring and fuses still in the kit your selling. Phil

Thanks Phil, though I won't deny that I'll be doing a little jig when it is finally finished 😀. Phil
