how come you need a sound system in your bed?
and get onto your folio! its super duper important, my dad is a d&t teacher and marker and even with all his help I didn't do enough on my folio i can't remember my marks, but I was pretty pissed off coz I put a f**k load of work into my project (I held a photography exhibition fundraising dinner thing which I might add was amazing for a 17 year old to organise by herself) and yeah didn't care enough about the folio
🙂
Haha dont think the teachers would be too happy with that. Good idea though.
Simon
Yeh your right there. Have still got sooo much to do on my folio. Haven't updated my diary in like a week either. 😊
Whats wrong with a sound system in the bed 😂 Its gunna be great for those lazy days laying in bed listening to music.
Simon
isnt that what your laptops for though? i think cds are far too much effort for bed time lazy listening
🙂
Yeh but you don't get the doof doof from a laptop that you can get from headunit and speakers 😂
Simon
As a thought, why not (time depending of course)
- make a pair of wheel spats to cover half the wheel arch
- grind off the un-necesary bits of wheel above the wheel arch to save some weight and attach what is left over of the wheel so it looks like the car is lowered majorly without adding too much extra weight of having full hubs/wheels etc. It may also solve your problem of attaching the wheel and making it functional if you decide to go that way.
If you need to manouver the bed, why not join some castors under the boot area or on your stands and use the wheel to hide them.
Just a thought. BTW. Get to work on that folio!!👍👍

If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....
-Already have bought flares for the mini so they would kinda go to waste.
-Don't really understand what you mean about grinding off wheel. Dont really need castors as it is so light. Two people can lift it no worries at all.
Thanks for some good ideas 👍
Simon
Because the top half of the wheel is going to be hidden behind the wheel spat, you can grind off the parts of tyre/hub above the spat to save weight.
It also might make it easier to fit the wheels and look better as they can be recessed into the wheel arch easier (maybe??).
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....
I noticed in the pics of the rear wheel in standard fitment that they are too wide to accomodate a wheel spat and still look astheticaly pleasing which is why the grinding option might be better. If you visualise how a wheel sits in the wheel arch when the beams are narrowed you might get my drift cos I can't explain it too well😊😀
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....
I think I sort of understand what your saying. You sure you aint on the rum again? 😂
Good idea but I think too much work for me. Would require welding which I dont know how to do.
Simon
Hehhhe😎 I'm on the beer tonight so I should make more sense!🤓
Ran out of rum last night 😵💫
I am not sure if you can get around it without welding anything. Im no expert in welding anything either but I can burn holes in even the toughest of metal🥷
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....

has that headunit got RCA input at the back or a 3.5 aux jack at the front or something for the ol' ipod?
what you've done it sweett.. i just think you need more speakers..
Nah unfortunately doesn't have RCA or AUX cause its just a CD player my brother had lieing around. Does play mp3 on CDs though so should be able to put a good 100 or so songs onto a disk. Finished the boot today and got the number plate made up. Will post up some pics when I get back from guitar practice.
Simon
Well got the carpet in today and went and had a look at what dooners were available. None really in red and black so a family friend is gunna make one for me 😀 Ordered a number plate from a sign writer which should be ready tommorow morning. Started trimming boot lid with black vinyl. Also picked up a lava lamp for that extra touch 😂 Just gotta fix up wiring, trim wheel arch next to bed and I'll just about be done.
Simon
i have that same lava lamp!
except i got mine about a decade ago when they first came out...
🙂
lol how can you tell? Dont they all look pretty much the same?
Simon
the blue and red, unless if the watery stuff just looks blue because of the tarp behind it
hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm
🙂
Yeh just clear liquid sorry. Better luck next time 😂
Simon
Woo 200th post 🙂
oh you totally should have gotten the blue liquid one, it makes very nice mood lighting 😘😘😘 hehehe
🙂
But thats what the CD player is for 😂
Simon
Well got the number plate today. They did a really good job. More to come.
Simon
bloody awsome, beats allthe coffeetables and entertainment unts most people do, or one guy in my ear did a sub box, (ohh how easy)
but, it you had more time, flat screen in the boot, but is on a hydrolic lift, so it lifts up through the parcel shelf, and have it connected to the speakers. just a idea.
Yeh that would be great! Would have to add another leg as well if I did that as its a bit back heavy as is 😂
Simon
Now that bed is PIMPED HOMIE😀
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....
Haha thanks man. Now I know I've done a good job. 😂
Simon
Well my brother moved out today so I jumped at the opportunity and moved the bed into his room. Was having some movement issues between the bed and the body even when bolted together, so made up a second set of brakets for front of body. Doesn't rock or move and inch now. Didn't like the look of how the boot lid was going so might grab the boot liner out of 1 of my bros minis. Managed to scratch the black a bit getting it inside so will have to give it a quick touch up later. Will be hooking up stereo soon.
Simon
looking pretty sweet, when is it due?
have you been working on the folio>?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 🤓
🙂
Due September 1st but gotta have it at the school and set up a few days before. So got like 2 weeks left 🤪
Will be working on folio most of tommorow 😀
Simon
hey man.. as i said ill post a pic of my work. its no where near finished but we have a little longer than you guys.. for some reason. im just filling and sanding and filling and sanding etc etc atm but it'll pay off.. so here it is
as i told you.. its pretty unusual.. the TV sits on the flat bit and DVDs stack in the curved shelf in the end.. the small curve at the closest end also opens as a hatch like a bonnet.. im painting it soon..
Wow, that looks great man! Looks like you have put a lot of work into that. Love the idea of the bonnet type hatch. What colour are you painting it? Whens it due?
Simon
