The plan is to have whitewall tyres on soon enough but for the time being this is the progress!

All in all pretty please how they turned out! Have had mixed responses but think they'll look better with the whitewall added on!

Indoor Swimming Pool

It appears i have a significant leak.

I put half of it down to one of the corners of my roof hatch missing, and also the fact there is no rubber seal on my sliding window..

Photobucket

Here was my bright spark idea;

Tissues tissues and more tissues.. sadly it made the problem even worse - OOPS
Photobucket

Ive since sourced some rubber for the window (which I got for free BOOM!) so now it leaks a lot less!

Bits and Pieces

I found a great dashboard cover on ebay unfortunately it doesnt agree with my Fugu fish! DISASTER!!!

Will have to sort something out as im rather fond of my pink fish..

Looks okay for the mean time though just a bit dodgy.

I finally fitted the new indicator covers, and in doing so realised that the whole unit could do with replacing - another job onto the list!

Ive found the most brilliant website that I've managed to spend a few pay checks on and have had so much stuff to keep the improvements going!

Very exciting!

Roof Rack

I tracked down an old roof rack in need of some love

Photobucket

Will be getting rid of the PVC pipe and the canoe holder thing as its highly unlikely ill ever use either of them! (might sort something out for tent poles etc but not urgent at the moment!)

Going to have to sand it right back then prime and paint! Will be going white with this one to match the bumber & roo bar etc - picture of finished product still coming!

Seat Wobbliness

Big Fat Oops.

Turns out I hadn't done the nylon bolts and threads up tight enough - wobbliness fixed.

Winner winner chicken dinner
