she has had all side and rear glass removed blanked with ally and some caravan windows fitted, interior fully kitted currently 6 berth,
pros
already a private hgv motorcaravan on V5
everything works
after very little effort she fired up built up and held air
cons
interior needs a full refit its not to bad just looks a bit tired and things arent fastened or wired up to my standard its more time than money
needs a full paint (roller and rustoleum job)
Mot wise steering box leaking, brake cables sticking strip clean rebuild all brakes.
and about 100 unforseen jobs lol
plan is to refitt exisiting interior and sort wiring paint over winter then use next summer then next winter strip interior again and redesign layout refit with a more uptodate interior...(want to use it first before redesign to get idea of where i want things sometimes you need to live with these first) and fit
