| 28th December 2014: My friend Paul helping to cut the channel out that the seats bolted to. This is so that the ply on the walls will sit flush against the frame. We also scraped all the mounting tape off the frame that was there behind the Laminex panel that was previously on the walls. |
 |
| 30th Jan 2015: Time to re-do the frame around the door. I used 50mm Galv square tube. One of the challenges with working with the bus is trying to keep everything level and square. The floor rises and falls and the walls are not straight. Infact the walls have a slight bow outwards. This made it a bit difficult when framing up the door as the door frame needed to be straight. |
 |
| This shows how I merged the bowed wall to the straight door frame. |

| 3rd Feb: My father-in-law helping to make a start on lining the walls. It was a slow start getting the sheets to size and shape over the wheel arches. |
 |
| We used 9mm exterior ply to do this. I decided to leave the heater tunnels in the bottom corner because they were rivetted under the floor and would have been a big job to cut out. So instead we just covered them with ply too. |
 |
| One quarter of the walls done!!!. We decided to have the top of the sheets level with the bottom of the windows. The bus isn't level at the moment so we can't use a spirit level. So the bottom window edge is my reference point! |
 |
| We've been getting some amazing sunsets the last couple of weeks. Usually means time to pack up! |
