Furry Fingers

This weekend was spent almost entirely inside the caddy with carpet and glue. Lots of glue.
First the wiring was done, then removal of the panels. Then finally carpeting of the metalwork, panels and headlining (with the installation of four LED spots).

Results (which I'm proud of and spent most of this evenings sessions showing off):

Wiring (by travelswithmyt4) Switch Panel (by travelswithmyt4)

Carpeting (by travelswithmyt4) Carpeting (by travelswithmyt4)

Carpeting Detail (by travelswithmyt4) Ikea Dioder (by travelswithmyt4)

I spent most of Sunday evening picking carpet fur from my fingernails which had been stuck with high temperature contact adhesive.

Tommorrow I am going to discuss a bed/platform options for the back. Get the rear tinted and visit a few audio specialists to discuss my 'needs'.

Tonight I went to the works, it'd taken about a week for my finger swelling to go down so the muggy heat worked to my advantage keeping me off anything vaguely tricky. It was boring and sweat but with my finger mummified in tape it was also pain free.

Nat and I decided that we'd sort the van as quickly as possible to save missing the summer. So far thats going well and now its in a completely usable state. Can't wait to finish it off.

Van is looking good - those wheel arches came out well. Guess you had the "new" extra stretchy fabric that Mark was showing me when I was up there to do it. That stuff seemed the bomb.

We had the 'smoke' which stretches a lot but far from easily.
