Coming together but it's too cold to lay the floor yet, and that cushion needs redoing.

That's a novel colour scheme. Are the rabbits painted on? You don't seem far off finishing the job. I am looking forward to seeing the finished article at a meet or show next year.

They're hares Patrick

A Leisuredrive interior if I'm not mistaken....

Seriously love the hares and the moon. Love it. and the colours too

The hares are from Matt and Angela at Hippy Motors.

I'm told it's a leasure drive but you are the first to say that might be the case.

It looks better in the photos than the flesh. I wanted something a bit different, quick and cheap.

I'm sort of finished up to the cab (apart from the floor) then it all goes a bit naff. i'm collecting bits for the cab, got the steering wheel cover (Black with orange tape) and I've replaced the door cards and managed to keep the original vinyl just sprayed them black with Brillo.

The seats are Ok in terms of foam but they are a bit sorry cover wise. Might drag them out and spray them black as well or santa might bring me a nice vinyl cover set in black with orange piping. Thinking of doing an overhead locker type thing for the cab roof but I dunno. My landrover had a fabric covered rigid liner which when I took the sagging fabric off turned out to be a sort of papier mache thing. Thought that might work for the bus?

Have to go back to hippy motors, and have a better look. Good luck with it, great project

I've looked at seat covers from here

They are supposed to be sending me some samples of colours, may have to phone them again though

Yep Thems the ones. Bit pricey but still cheaper and easier than putting other seats in.

My old Leisuredrive interior - virtually identical



You have the full width bed too? Very comfy

Thats the first one I've seen. It is identical apart from the fridge and the door handles but does have the 240v light switch for the 12v water pump (ugly) . Yep full width bed essential for a fat B****rd like me.

i started out being a bit critical of the build quailty. realised that someone had obviously swung from the O/H locker then put it back together with 4" screws. So reversed my view. Then got stuck into the roof and that was a nightmare of inappropriate screws etc. so i'm going to assume that that might be a none leasure drive addition?

Leisuredrive were willing to supply the parts for their interiors for the owners to fit themselves; the only part they insisted on fitting themselves was the roof.
I saw the original order form with the service history for mine which listed the various options etc. I fitted the pump (light) switch as before I fitted that I had to use the switch on the Zig unit over by the bed

Ah I don't have a ZIG but i did have the ugly switch. To be honest i built a kitchen for use outside with the Defender and I think thats going in the back with the inside one used for making tea/coffee/cup a soups. Cup rinsing and storage.

Blagged an hour this afternoon and made some progress.
