my interior pics
Posted: 31 Oct 2009, 15:17
Hi all,
Bought my first bus 'Vinnie' this year, which had no interior in it, and although it was supplied it was knackered and needed totally rebuilding... The us is a 1981 AC Devon.
So we remanufactured the buddy seat, all the kitchen units including doors, and cut up the old rotten table for the remainder of the doors. The unit side panel was an old partitioned wall and the wardrobe door and rock & roll bed storage door was old office furniture.
The only parts we reused out of the original interior was the worktop, 1 cupboard door and the fibreglass wardrobe, we had the rock & roll bed, buddy seat and rear cushion recovered by a friend and bought new curtains.
We put in 240v electrics and access this from behind the rear number plate.
We also added some safety barriers to stop the kids from falling down as was really nervous of them rolling off.
We went away in it this year for two weeks on our 1st holiday and had a great time.
My thanks go to those people who helped me with pics and advise, and a special thanks to my father-in law Dave who master minded all the work.
So here are a few pics of the finished job.
Let me know your thoughts.
