lol spudders. No., the front half will be for lugging all the club stuff such as the gazeebo, flags, banner, banner frame etc. its far too short for me to sleep in. That means my Van will actually have room for me to sleep in it then!!
Lots of other goodies will be installed though. A Caravan battery for a start which will run some 12v lights at the back for illumination in the evening, a stereo of some description which i intend to have a flying lead so anyone can plug in their ipod, as well as a full on bistro affair at the back with sauce dispencers and the like.
Hardest part will be finding somewhere for a trastle table, but I may get a nova roofrack for that lol
Nah you'll try it with one, find it doesn't quite work the way you wanted, but if you just put one there... then it turns into a set of 12 on an elaborate linkage lolQuote:

Dave, its getting a standard hatch door with a polycarb window to keep the frontal weight down probably. And obviously a white PNG showplate ;)

Trust me, this fecker is going nowhere mid cook! The main reason we're so pleased with it is just how bloody sturdy it is when its pulled out! I rekon I could sit on it without bending anything, but im not gonna try it lolQuote:

Unfortunately we mostly had to do bodywork today.

On with filler

Got on with finishing the front end and sealed it to the elements
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0032010204.jpg
Originally I wasnt going to bother fitting seats, but then Ive just aquired a new sofa from the 'rents, and the old one had cusions which fit the bill a bit too well to not try!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0032010199.jpg
Found an old seat cover! Needs some adjustment but you get the idea
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0032010200.jpg
Just thinking of sitting at billing in it with a can of cider and a tab with my feet up :) its proper comfy lol.
Tomorrow should have primer on all the exposed bits, front bumper on and some windows cut for the front quarterlight windows.
fapping ace.!!!!
Good work lads!
please keep the seam over the doors, but junk the bit on the new section
Not following you pal???Quote:

the roof gutter seams are a bit wonky because of the differing roof shapes, keeping the bit over the doors will stop water dripping in when used at crap weather events (nat day etc), but the bit on the new front end isn't doing anything
Agreed, but if we chop it off its going to look odd, plus we spent ages today blending them in lol
most important question, colour?
Same as the vito, with white slabs :)Quote:

Absolutely lol
excellent work chiefs.
Loving it.
I never thought I'd ever see this drem become reality! Love it!
Might be worth adding some kind of metal guard to protect the rear window rubber from any heat from the BBQ - a metyal strip or similar...
Just a thought...
The barbie is miles from the rear window, should be fine :)Quote:

Just need to get stu dressed in his best towel lol.
lol crazy idea
Well today, the basic chassis was finished. Its a one piece watertight trailer!
First job this morning was to finish off the rubbing down and get some primer on all the joints. Really pleased with how the two halves have come together. its not perfect, but it was never going to be, but Mike agrees with me when I say we surpassed our expectations
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010207.jpg
Just for mowgli, some better pics of how we blended the gutters
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010208.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010214.jpg
As you can see on the last pic, cut some polycarbonate and installed the front quarter windows bu cutting down the original hatch rubbers
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010210.jpg
Mike made some front side panels to plug the gap up left by the old hatch wheel arch. They look great, and we stuck them on with loads of nail and seal to keep the water out, and some rivets.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010211.jpg
Then loaded up all the remaining gaps with nail and seal (farking love that stuff)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010212.jpg
Cleaned up the hitch and A frame and got a first coat oh Hammerite on
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010213.jpg
Last job was to roughly fit the front bumper. Will be trimmed neat before paint
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1032010215.jpg
So there we go, pretty much complete. Still need to cut a polycarb sheet for the 'front' window, but that can be done later. Some pics of how it stands now. Spoke to Dan, and if the weather holds out, should get paint on it next weekend!
