The Coach Build

[ianglanister]

Well thought i would start a thread on the coach.
A good mate of mine has bought a 1989 Vanhool Coach to turn into a motorhome as he works away alot with his dad(joys of working for british super bikes).
I dont have any pictures of how it started on day one but as you can guess its just a typical coach. So far we have removed all the seats, roof lining and built in the bathroom,one bedroom,kitchen, and the living room. I have started to prep it on the outside for its full respray. I will upload new pictures etc everytime i go working on it. I know its not your usual project thread so thought some people may be interested with it being something totally different.
EXTERIOR- The back bumper is not finished its just to see if the colour is right which it is.






BATHROOM WITH SHOWER-



LIVING ROOM WITH SOFA BED ASWEL-


KITCHEN SINK IN-


BEDROOM 1 OVER LOOKING DRIVERS CAB- (when its tidy)

ye ive had that thought but cost £4500 to buy the thing, and the toilet was some stupid money its costing a fair bit to do. But hey if you have the money and liscence to drive it go for it.

a friend of mine is planning somthing similar but with a front wheel drive one so he can open the back up so he can put cars in and have a living bit at the front.

top tip

put insulation in between the windows and interior walls trim or it will be like an oven in the summer, too hot to sleep in trust me

ha ha, that one would be cool. Its alot of hard work believe me, and its costing him a fortune but hopefully will be worth it

My mate Mark is doing similiar for his rally cars in prep for 2011's BTRDA championship. Got one hefty as fook tail lift on the back of it for double tier car storage!
