This weekend has been mainly electrical jobs and boring bits so it's just a quick update. Everything is now working electrically and the alarm system is hooked up.

My workplace has asked to do a piece on the van for the newsletter which is why the last update picture is arty farty .

This weekend has seen some big jobs finished off. The windscreen is in, the roof lights are done and the rear doors are on and today the front doors went on.

She's officially a full van again!

I've now started on the interior but have not got very far yet, but more pics to come when I do.

Cheers bud, the switches are called Savage switches, you can get them off Ebay but they aren't cheap, around £15 per switch I think they were.

It was a little bit of work to wire them up but well worth it, I'd recommend them.

MOT tomorrow :blink:
The van decided to throw a proper wobbly today. Brakes, indicators and hazards all pack up and it took the best part of 6 hours to get sorted.
So as you can imagine I'm a little on edge about tomorrow now.
Fingers crossed she'll get through. The rest of my night will be focused on designing the rest of the sign writing.

I'm glad to announce that Toria passed her MOT with flying colours! She's now taxed and on the road again!

Last night me and few helpers recorded a promo video for the website, facebook page etc. and here are the results:
