VW BAY WINDOW CAMPER

Hello to you all, hope you are enjoying the sun.....Bellow are some photos showing Des and Olivia's bay window van .
I am re-trimming the rock and roll bed and all front and rear door / panel cards. Also i am installing some units with a sink and a fold down table, I hope you all like.

you can contact me on : 
email : incavilla@aol.com
tel : 07794978914


Day one....all the rear units arrive form.... IKEA, yep that's right , its a great way to get some good quality units and in the size needed to fit the van.



The door card before removal , these usually come of very easy......Not this one....GRRRR a cuppa and head scratch, the window winder screw had seized on, but hay all in a days work, and it was sunny while i was doing it.

 

This shows the new door card ready and the fabric all cut , just waiting for me to sew.


 

A close up shot of the stitching, this shows the fabric sewed through foam and a backing cloth .This gives the tuck and roll style.

 

All done....ready for the fitting to the panel.

 

As you can see i staple the material on the reverse of the board using 3mm stainless steel staples this makes the job so much neater.


 

The last panel ready to be fixed, you can see the half inch foam used to give the nice padded look.

 

The door ready to take the new panel, I make sure all the fixing holes are clean and all the old fixings are in good order and also clean to go back on.


 

There all done.........with speakers fitted as well..... great sound to..... i hope you all liked the pics and info, there be more pictures to follow soon. See you all soon,

Colin.
