Over the last few weeks we have been removing the interior panels to recover them. This was pretty easy to do, although in places the old carpet lining was a bit tricky to remove. Here's Nick covering the panels in the nice new blue lining we have chosen. I can't wait to see it in the van.
The van is looking a bit empty and sorry for itself after all those panels have come out.
We had a lovely sunny day today so decided to try and take the roof off to strip the old lining and replace the bellows. The sunlight is also leaking so needs re-sealing.
Nick having a look at the skylight.
Nick was asking for my help at this point, but the dangling legs had to be captured on film.
And the skylight removed! Finally, after driving all round Waterlooville looking for a stardriver.
Help arrived to help physically lift the roof off. Apparently it was more awkward than heavy.
Off it comes...
Open top bus...
Nick sets about removing the old bellows and lining.
Lining and old bellows removed. Unfortunately we began to run out of daylight so the roof has gone into the garage and a tarp over the van (which we were using anyway because of the leaky skylight). These jobs always take longer than you think! Hopefully we will get some dry days next weekend to finish it off.
