watch the weight of the units you put in mad, when i first did mine it was ok but the springs started to sag and now are sad instead of smiling. i have to get them re tempered and re bent upwards. I lightened the load after the 2nd year when the breakdown truck couldn't lift it. i found the best wood to use was the cheap cladding from B&Q it's light and strong and sands down nice. looks really good with a light varnish. the framework was 1"x1" and i used the ambi body as much as i could. additional spring assisters might be a good idea too and would make the ride more comfortable. ---------------------- | Mon 19 Nov 2007 @ 21:51 |

Ebay is by far the best bet - well cheaper than your DIY or specialty shops on the 'net. B&Q and the like sell them as uplighters for posh garden patios etc., but they charge a small fortune for them. One of the cleverest bits of lighting I've ever seen was a series of fibre-optics in the roof-lining.. at night it looked like stars. The guy had made it by cannibalising a cheap fibre-optic novelty light ! | Tue 20 Nov 2007 @ 22:16 |

Lots of fibre-optic Christmas trees going for under 50 quid on Ebay at the moment if you fancied doing something different.. rip-em apart and re-install :) Just ordered one myself... | Fri 23 Nov 2007 @ 08:36 |

started up this blog again & will be posting more to it later today (thurs). got some carpet laying to do. Think i've almost decided to scrap the carpet for the floor in favour of wipe-clean lino/vinyl, but will keep it on the side panels. :)... enjoy. ---------------------- | Thu 31 Jan 2008 @ 05:01 |
