J5KE F 0 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 A few months ago, I sold up the T5 van after having a bit of fun over the past few years including a trip to and around the Ring.She was a great van but was limited for space and I had the right opportunity to sell her, pay off the finance and have a tidy sum left to buy a van outright..A quick couple of weeks of scouring the van trader and ebay found a relatively high mileage Tranny in company colours way up country in Hull. Not swayed by the mileage, the bodywork was good with a recent respray in black and ply lining with insulation, rear windows and cables run for interior lighting I found the next work horse come trailer tractor Van'essa. (a quick google search for black tranny came up with her name.. )The brief was to convert the rear of the van to a 'garage' for safe storage of the tools, and the front area for a living space with table and bench seats plus clean tool storage.Several weeks ago, the tool happy bungy came over for half a day and got to work starting the conversion. After little planning we had partitioned the rear space and worked out how and where things where going to be situated.Today, we met up once more, but Spadam also joined in execising his QS and carpentry skills!We have succesfully, completed the top bunk, rear tool rack and varnished the timber to prevent water damage.So a BIG thankyou to the guys for giving up your saturday and as promised, you can share a room in the love bus.. The next steps are:1. to make the front bench, table and bed conversion.2. Wire & Board out the luton for fridge, microwave and telly.3. Carpet - (craigs assistance for some nice cheap stuff would be great!??)4. Install internal lighting and switches5. Curtains / blinds throughout6. Source and install a suitable 3.5 mtr x 2.5mtr awning with sides.Watch this space Link to post Share on other sites
