Club 80-90 Forums

I have finally got round to starting the refit of our van before the new season.
The story so far, I managed to source some mdf furniture board. One sheet of 8mm board for the cladding of the cupboards and one of 18mm board for the doors, with the edge banding it came in at approx £150.

I left the carcase in place and took all the measurements of the openings these were then given to a local company who transfered them to a cnc router to cut it all out. Cost £105
Yesterday after work I took out all the old doors and the fridge, Found a coolbox much better so the fridge is up for sale, anyone?

Today ive spent most of the day ironing on the edge banding and hanging the doors on the bench prior to fitting to the van,
Tomorrow it will be going into the van also the carpet fitter man is coming to have a look at fitting my carpet.

Looks very profesional, should make a big difference

Very nice! You say you have a cool box thats better? do you intend to camp for more than one day with out hook up, only saw this as most cool boxes run on 12v etc!

True lol, I think you would have to take all the cupboards out to even get the safe out let alone open it!

Hi Mate, someone on here linked me to them. You can find them here along with the carpet i bought.
