I can take close up pics now!
Just like to say thanks to blondie for organising roof, Where are you blondie? and thanks to everyone else for help and advice! Not forgetting Nicola and Tony for awning. And Disco Dave for transporting on a couple of occasions.
A few odds and sods but hey!!!! It's about finished now. Now I need to get some cash back in bank to pay site fees!!!!! (Oh! and some sunshine).

Ah so! That's what it is. I did wonder! :? It's very comfortable on the seats - as seats- not slept on it yet though!
It's been a long hard slog but after my disappointment with the "Bay" ( :whistle :zip :oops ) I am quite chuffed! Next job is a respray, maybe over next winter.

Definately NOT a westy interior. Might be a Reimo, but not sure.

Definately a nice looking interior you got there! Now start camping!

Thanks for comments and compliments. Could you cope with a miserable old buggar (who doesn't know what conversion he's got) and his blind whippet?
Think I'll give my conversion it's own brand new name! Suggestions welcome!
Mine is "warezmimoneygone"

You have a blind whippet? Awwwwwwwwww - i have one too - not blind - but very rearranged after being attacked by a huge loose dog end of last year - she's cost me £15000, hence have a ratty looking van - can;t afford respray :wink:

Think I remember you posting something about it. I felt really sorry for your dog! Glad you managed to keep her. Was that an extra 0 crept in, or was it actually £15,000.
People often look at me as if to say "Cruel barsteward, starving your dog". If only they knew the love my dog gets! If she were fat she'd be unhealthy!!! You may remember when I posted about Big Fella dying (The brown dog in the picture). I was devastated. Meg (the blind whippet) was even more lost. I think she is about over it all now, and fatter, getting all his treats as well. When Meg goes to pastures anew (not too soon I hope) I will not think twice about getting another blind dog. Somehow they are more special and loving.
May see you at a meet sometime and we can swap stories or something about our dogs!
Thanks for reply
Keith

Just going to bed now, but can I ask. Why do dogs seem to enjoy smelling their own .... ?
Lovely dog by the way :D . Wanna give her away?
Thought not! :roll:

Agreed . . . I doubt a Westy interior would fit a van that isn't a left hooker! Good result though Keith. As already said . . . time for some camping now?

Beautiful dogs.

Actually there are a few westy kits that will fit rhd, but the wardrobe is still on left side. :lol: and r&r seat is full width. We have one in our lhd and would love to change it for a 3/4 r&r westy interior.

Actually I think it may be a partly home made job, based on a genuine conversion :?

Decided to go for broke and fit the new windscreen. Cut the bottom edge of the gutter away to prepare a couple of minor scabs for rust proofing and painting. OOOps! Out with the welder! 4 small holes! I'll have it sorted as soon as weather clears up. Should only take an afternoon. I could do a repair with fibreglass and filler but then my welder would be sad :roll: Hope the screen don't shatter! It's staying in so I can protect the inside of my van. This is, at the moment, the last job! (I should be so lucky!).
Thanks for positive comments.
