Nope, haven't really been at it recently......have managed to install a leisure battery, interior lighting & sub woofer tho. I'll take some pictures when i can.
Plans for the summer include carpet lining it and applying more paint....getting a smooth black rather than seeing the brush strokes as much, but keeping the Matt black look for sure.
Getting it ready for camping duties.....power points and maybe a solar panel.....i'll need that for when the zomibes come

okay, so its not retro...nope not retro...but I want one!....Ford makes a whole line of "transit" vans over here from small to big and very big...
They are uber useful, as you know by successfully pulling your canoes around, and can haul alot of stuff inside too...love the black paint!

How long can the bed be? I've always fancied a van camper conversion like this. But being 6'6" I doubt the bed space would be long enough. This is my problem, I'd happily have a combo, lowered. And use it for a day van and put MTB on the back. However, at 6'6 I wonder what legroom I'd have to sleep. Guessing if you put 3 door corsa seats in, can ratchet/tip them forward and hang legs over the end?

I did have a bulkhead fitted but removed that, and my sleeping area is about 8 inches off the deck (the thickness of my boxes). I'll do some more photos to illustrate this too.....Photobucket is done for maintenance at the moment.

Sweet, am I also dreaming or is there such a thing as a LWB combo?
I'm thinking a pair of 3door Rover 1/2 leather recaros would be handy in the front.

Any updates on this? Thinking about a similar build with my escort van.
