Install Number 2 Part 2

From the last post you can see that I changed my install to include 2 cupboards and 2 drawers. This was because as I am sure you'll all agree when you get round to using the van you find more storage is really useful.


As you see from the pics I have some cushions on my bed the surfboard ones were made by my girlfriend Rosie. I also have rear windows now but that is for a later post!!



Cheers

Its been a while!!!! Install number 2 part 1

Hello all,

Sorry its been such a long time but with christmas, spending time with family, interviewing for a new job and doing a few things to the van I have not had the time to blog!!

Without further ado here is my 2nd install idea, or part one of it anyway. After much discussion with Rosie and my mate at work Andy I decided to go down the IKEA install route, because I needed to store surfboards in my van I decided to only use 2 cupboards and then use cupboard doors as blanking plates (hopefully all will become clear with the pic!!)


As can be seen from the pic I used 2 IKEA Faktum cabinets for the front cupboards, I cut a section out of the back of these so that I could slide a surfboard behind and then used IKEA Applad doors for the cupboards and then as blanking plates toward the rear of the van. I also cut the tops of the cupboard doors so that I could make them into drawers!

I will post a picture of the finished product soon.

Cheers

Tom
