Skylight and insulation

Progress is slow!!!!! The project is finally starting to take a bit of shap, but with only being able to work on it one day a week...I have the feeling this could take me the guts of 6-7 months to complete.
Managed to install the skylight over the weekend and a vent for the bathroom....no easy feat I might add, but with a bit of help I finally managed to get these in and they are looking pretty good!


I have also insulated the floor and riveted the panels back into place. Insulation has been put in on the walls and back doors and all the electrical cables and water piping have been manouvered into place.

I attempted to put one of the windows in the sliding door, but decided that this is probably best left to a professional after about two hours of trying to get the window into the rubber seal!

Gutting the inside....how bad is the rust?

The van was in pretty good condition when I got it...with very little extreior rust at all. I stripped out all the wall and floor ply and examined the base and walls for rust...and again surprisingly very little, however there was shed loads of dirt that had accumulated under the mats at the front and around the wheel wells.


Having cleaned all the dirt out of the vanand sanding down a few rusty parts and then waxoiled the whole inside of the van, primaily along the joining lines of all the metal supports.
