the kitchen stuff should arrive this afternoon so hopefully we can make a start on that:)

Looking good.

A back walk through would have been an option but come to think of it my self build has the back blocked in and only storage access from the back doors. Well theoretically I can get into my garage and there is a crawl through door into the living area, but the garage is always full of stuff! The sliding door and two front doors provide sufficient access :)

No real progress today but the kitchen and shower room stuff has arrived woohooo delivered the front door :)

I love those red kitchen fittings.

Ems has done a super job on her VW and she's used the colour red in places.

Nice looking conversion. Well done

Looks like it is one of the old Amber Valley Community Transport buses from Ripley I used to drive as a volunteer in the mid/late 1990s. I think Erewash CT used the same red/grey colour scheme too. The annoying strips in the floor you removed were for clamping down wheel chairs and seat belts.

Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing the finished job.

It was a day care van for wheel chairs but not an Amber valley one.Will have a look out in a bit as can still see lettering on the side of it.
