Awesome work!


What is on all the surfaces? The gray fabric looking stuff, how did you get it to form around the curves?

Lovely job. Absolutely lovely.

What did you use for the side walls before you put in the cabinets? It looks as if it had no seems and went up and around the cut out for the roof. How did you do that?

I am so impressed!!

Thank you for all the positive comments...
The grey walls are a automotive grade carpet, it is easy forming and great to work with. This weekend I will photograph and conclude the build to this point.

After a great summer enjoying the traveling and useing the van I want to say thanks to everyone for their positive comments etc. I hope in some way the build has encouraged others to possibly to do the same.
Over the weekend I have aquired another 4wd van. I am not sure exactly what I will do to it at this point but I plan to try something un-traditional.... Here are some photo's of the before. Once I get on the way I may start a new thread.

Found another "Westy Euro" top for you just like the one you put (2) on the first van, give me a heads up if your interested. The canvas was in fairly good shape just needed a cleaning but it was missing the lift struts.
Hope you had a great "Turkey Day"

Cheers

A little update on the new van .
I have not fully decided which direction I will go with the interior. I have insulated and built the walls and floor. Photos will come soon.
This is the exterior to this point.
