Manscaping and Keith Gets Windows

     It's been a busy few weeks of manscaping for Keith.   Danny got a quote for painting the cab and a stripe down the side...$2000!!  Which is fair enough, but Poustie said:  "Nah, do it yourself".  So Danny has been working very hard painting and wet sanding a few coats of white and the stripe.  Still negotiating on the blue on the cab, but thanks to all your hard work Danny - he's going to look great. (See facebook page for pics.)

     Poustie has practically finished in the engine bay and cab, so last night Danny and I started carpeting the foot well with our choc brown auto carpet from Clark Rubber, Rothwell.  Took a while to work out the best way to do it, but it's going to look great.

     Today, Poustie is fitting some of the windows (although we can't find one of the small bedroom ones ??)  and also the outside access door for the gas bottle.  Danny has recycled and pained the old one.  As requested, I went to Clark Rubber to get some bailey channel for the window cavity and a variety of engine hoses.










Keith is definately on the downhill reno slide now - thanks to Poustie, and ofcourse, the continuing weekly efforts of Danny.

Off with the Roof and Pouste Returns!

Over the past few weeks, Danny has been very busy with Keith.  First he took the roof off...
Then Danny and Cousin Todd did some of the aluminum trim,







Danny sicaflexed the trims...





Then Todd did some window bracing inside and took the floor out. 

Then Pouste came back!  He told Danny about his plan for the underfloor wiring and water pipes and then he and Danny spent a couple of days tidying all the chassy up.                                                                  Danny black-jacked...
                                                                   And Pouste soldered, clamped and fitted all the 20 lights! 
 We will not need a Xmas tree this year!
