It started with a visit from Dad, Linda and Marina from Wales. Because of the rescue dogs we have here that aren't keen on people, since I've had Nina we sit in the back of her on the drive catching up. Yes, strange I know, but it wont always be like that hopefully ! Anyway, at the moment, we are looking after a rescue puppy for a few days, she hasn't been very well, but seems ok now.
This is my sister Marina holding her, in the back of Nina :).
After the visit was over, I decided to take the yellow hand rail down, on the side door side of Nina, it went right from front to back, only 6 screws, so very easy. Behind it at the back, was the alcohol hand cleaner dispenser. I say was, because I removed that too ! :).
Rail removed ...
Seems funny to see the space above the windows now, so used to the big bright yellow rail !
I also fixed the Aluminium angle above the window on the side door ...
This shows the sliding door window before the bracket.
And these show the angle rivetted to the door, its nice and solid up there so pulling the blind down and up will be fine.
I also made the frame, same size as the opposite one, only I had to cut a small part off of the corner so that the handle that opens the side door from the inside can still operate.
I haven't fixed it up yet, I need some more wood to box it out a little more, its not as straight forward as the other windows, as I finish it,I'll take photos to show you why. One problem I have is that on the side of the window there is a handle bolted that enables you to pull the door shut from the inside, it is right in the path of the frame, so need to figure out how I'm going to deal with it still.
Well thats it for today, hopefully I'll have at least the window finished tomorrow, I'm hoping to make a start on one of the seat box frames too, and maybe measure up the silver stuff !
Busy busy busy, but loving it :).

Enjoying your blog Damo and appreciating all the effort you've put into documenting the project. I'm guessing you'll be glad yourself to have this to look back on this in years to come, but meanwhile it's a great service for others too. I'm thinking of doing something similar... I particularly liked your solution with the blinds and the plywood window 'frames'. Keep up the good work! Graham
ReplyDeleteThank you Graham ! :). Its very kind of you to say so :). Yes its great to look back on, I've done it before and looking back on that blog is brill for ideas again. If you missed it, its www.damoscamperblog.blogspot.com. That one was a T4 panel van to start with. Can't wait to get my teeth stuck in to this one again, I love getting jobs done and moving a step closer to the finish line ;).
