mmm
It isn't quite finished yet and I still need to clean off the pencil marks and fit the screw caps. It needs to come out again so I can weld the rust
spots and paint it but when it goes back in for the last time it will be one very well fitted out kombi

after seeing this guy work I can say I now understand why he gets paid so much to build kitchens...
Lucky he is a mate of dads or teh interior may well have cost more than the kombi :kiss

Well if you send me an email I will be happy to help you out. I use to post details of stuff on here but sick of Wankers copying, stuffing it up and
then telling me my design was wrong when the only thing that was wrong was their ability to build something properly.

Looks very cool
So where can the rest of us get those latches??
I spoke to some people from the Gold Coast with the orange camper that has similar latches and I think they picked them up for under $10 each

I like the idea of drawer and the access panel alongside the seat. I want to do the same thing to my Sunliner b/c it's almost impossible to use the
space down that end of the cupboard. The drawer under the stove is a nice idea too, there is a serious lack of spots for small bits and pieces like
cutlery.
