Dub Dub

Hey look we've got a button in the bus. I think it's to call the BUTLER.

MeWally says it's to turn on the water - OO-ER-MISSUS!

We've a little pump down under - I feel I'm digging a hole for myself here - press the button and the pump kicks in. Water flows out of the tap. Well that's the theory, we've not yet tested it.

So here it is, the interior. Its getting there. MeWally's covered the panel under the seat with what looks like a condom. It'll stay that way until we seal the panel so that it's washable.

On the whole, it's almost use-able. We'll have to go on a test trip in a couple of weeks.

VW Camper Bus

MeWally spent the tail end of Saturday fitting the new fridge into the little bus and last weekend working on fitting the cooker.

It's beginning to look habitable.

YIPPEE !!!

Dub Dub - Sunday 10.4.11

I've found these shots of the Dub Dub lurking in the un-up-loaded-place.

Thought you might like to see them, they're a bit boring - unless you're into this sort of thing and as this is a bit of an restoration, I thought this might be the place to record our efforts.

MeWally replaced the 'kick boards that hide the technical stuff between the dash board and the floor. He cut each piece him self. I doubt they'll stay white for long.

The panel under the rock and roll bed was horrible and showed up a gap in the side cupboard. It looked a proper mess. The new one is in beech finished plywood and is set forward about 6ins. Looks neat and tidy.

The tall cupboard had been dumped in the back of the bus and a rather tatty, low box had been fitted in its' place. He's put the original cupboard back into it's original place. It's a little wardrobe!

MeWally has also stripped all the paint off the cupboards, restoring them to their original finish. The Beech finished wood we've chosen is not a perfect match, so we've experimented with lime wax and it changes the tone to a closer match.

There's a fair bit wrong with the body work.

Ratty by name, Ratty by nature..
