[Jst83]

Is it just my computer or have the photos all gone?

They are gone looks like they were moved from the original spot he had the when he made the post and the link.

Here's the link to where they are worth a look

Thanks for the kind words guys.

My rear light clusters are made up from glueing two rain water shoes together.The lights (again Ebay)are for a cheap kit car and fit inside just nice

This is the only picture of the inside so far

Hi Graeme,
Thats a great idea with the lights, they look brilliant I love a bit of inovation

Did you use regular hardboard under your aluminium skin ? or is it Ply

Do you fancy a trip across the boarder next year ? We're hoping to get some trailers together for the May bank holliday ?

It would be great to see your build up close

Cheers Dave

Hi, 2fry:

I'm amazed at how fast you got that done! (Looks pretty well done to me!) Your first post was on September 25th and today is October 11!!!!!

Wow!

Hi Dave.

Both inner and outer skins are 3mm hardboard(B andQ don't have a great selection,but you know that)
The inside was done with the hardboard ,only because i could not get any ply quick enough.But i found some vinyl flooring on special that i stuck on to give a finished look.

Next season (if i get this tear finished)i am hoping to get to RAF Woodvale in Southport and the Van fest later on.

Hopefully more trips south,but i keep getting drawen to the island off the west coast of Scotland.

The build has slowed right down because i have missed my dead line for this year and i have the bedroom to decorate,and many many other jobs to do.

Roll on next year

Hi Graeme,
What a shame you missed your deadline . At least you're close to being finnished now
The flooring on the ceiling looks very authentic. nice touch

With a bit of luck we should get to see your trailer next year . We have thought about going to Woodvale, and heard it's a good weekend.

We did Vanfest for the first time this year. We had a great time, and saw a fair few teardrop trailers too. I'm hoping to have a splitty to tow our trailer one day

We built our first tear with the intention of touring Scotland, but it hasn't happened yet

Cheers Dave

Hi Dave.
Woodvale is worth going to,the last time i was there i took my 67 splitscreen bus.
To get a bus at the moment you would not get change from 20k.
And that does not include feeding it.
When i first got my bus i thought there was a hole in the fuel tank

Now i stick with my good old moggies.

Had some time off so spent some time on the pod.
Window install.

Wiring complete.

All hitched up.
.
I just have to finish off around the doors,then i can start on the wings.

I stole most of the style from yours, Thomas.Many thanks.

Wow! I didn't expect that! thanks!

[2fry]

Having limited horsepower,i have to ditch weight and some great ideas from this forum.
I'm just waiiting on Thomas to fit his wings(fenders) before i can do mine.
Hopefully the weather will let me get more done this weekend.
Again thanks everyone

Well, I have an idea for some "wings" that I also got from this forum ala Warpony who got it from McTeardrop! SO hey we keep it in the family eh! It is a dual axle fender cut in half and angled just right... Food for thought...
