This weekend was all about making sparks, I cut out all the sharp edged panel steel and prepped the spots I would be welding to. After fucking around with wrong regulators I managed to get this far (with a little help) After stealing some wood from the old man I managed to get this far today The superking mattress will take up all of that area, except for 80mm a side -

The unfinished ceiling The first thing I did yesterday was rip out this round bed... that rotated. I'm now left with all this space, since I am a tall bastard I will be cutting out the 50x25, starting from scratch and making a base with drawers to suit my super king mattress -

Well Iv gone and done it... Iv brought a housebus to be cool like Alex and Hannah. Its a ex Army, ex SBL 1986 Hino ranger rocking a EH700 6.4 Litre diesel I get the impression the guy that started this conversion was doing a really good job but suddenly got the urge to finish it quickly/untidily. The good thing about it is that I don't feel bad for pulling some it apart to modify it This must be all part of the housebus starter kit! The current line up Let me know your thoughts/suggestions/experiences as ALL the systems need to be done Chur!

I gave this a slightly spirited drive over the takaka hill yesterday and I can say the B20 engine has a surprising amount of grunt.

My 2 cents... Had a Mk4 golf with the same problem and found that the selector cables needed adjustment. Of course I adjusted it the wrong way and made it worse, adjusted it the other way and problem solved. May be totally useless information but it may not . -
