Wheels

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

Before

Sanded

Primed!

Painted

Paper off




New Hubcaps on



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..



Here was my bright spark idea;

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


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!

Roof Rack

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



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

Second Storey Bed

Another project I've got on the go that seems to be stuck at the moment is remaking the second bed slats.

I bought an old set years ago out of excitement and without really looking at them properly, but after trying them out, safe to say no one will be sleeping on them!

I put them in last weekend to have a look at how they go in etc and what ill need to remake them.

Thought it would be interesting to lay on them, never again. The whole time I thought the boards were going to snap! The ply thats been used before is only about 1cm thick so theres alot of give when you put a person on them, and getting on is very difficult because you dont want to put all your weight on the last board for fear of falling through!

Mission; to get thicker wood (or stronger ply etc) and then to recover in new material probably a plastic vinyl similar to what was previously used as that seems to have worn quite well.

Bed in! (would hate to have to go to the toilet during the night if i was sleeping up there!)


Laying on it, please note how close I am to the edge as it feels slightly safer there. (ha!)
