bought a sprung loaded roller blind for the cupboard, this solves the problem of a door only opening one way, i fancy a roller shutter, but well see how this works out.

made a hinged fill panel above the fridge

took advice from fellow members and built up the engine compartment area, then covered in carpet, then the boys from work folded some ali trim for me.

my seats arrived, a good bit of advice is if you see an old sofa cheap then buy it as i saved at least £100 by ripping one apart for the foam.

door cards next and i need to sort some sounds, camping on saturday... :D

lowered 60mm front and rear, nearly cried when i sheered the head off my 8mm allen key socket when releasing the wishbone, then couldnt get all the nuts undone behind the caliper, so i then dropped the whole swinging arm thing (a*** about face) but this then allowed the springs to be released.

Front done

rear measurements before
