Wooie, one thing to remember with wrapping is it will show all defects the bonnet may have. So if you have a lot of deep chips you would have to fill them first if you want it to look great

I suspected that might be the case :hammer: there`s nothing major and no rust anywhere just quite a lot of tiny stone chips :sad:

Does it cut and seal around the windscreen washers OK ?

I`d just blob some paint into the chips and wet and dry them flat first. If you go to a decent motor factor/paint shop they can mix you some colour matching touch up for cheap. Then it won`t look a balls up if you remove the wrap later on.

On my bonnet they removed the plastic grill and went behind it. For the bonnet badge it was a pain to get it off so they cut round it and it looks perfect. I suppose results can vary depending on who you use. Best to check reviews or get recommendations for someone as I could start a wrapping business tomorrow as its low outlay but I havn`t got a clue how to do it so my work would be crap I guess there will be loads of cowboys who see it as easy money.

I used this place Auto Tinting . Came recommended and they were good and fair prices for the tints and the wrapping.

Still not at the exciting stage yet , Wood for furniture is hopefully arriving next week so it should start to take shape fairly quickly then

Floor fitted and walls carpeted

Ceiling boarded with 9mm ply and carpeted . Roof vent also fitted.

Floor has also been covered in hospital grade vinyl but I forgot to take a picture as I was too busy talking about other details.

Rick from Vanomize has just sent me these pictures mocking up the furniture layout.

Its starting to look like a camper van now

They have done a great job stepping and angling the cabinets to leave as big a gangway as possible. Feels quite roomy

Spent some time around roller shutters ,my main concern would be noise ,they are the most rattley clanging contraption ,just walk past a closed up one on a shop and give it a bit of a shove and push,very noisey

Great to see a conversion from start to finish. Thanks for posting Nutshot you must be so pleased loverly job. Also thanks for advise given on the bonnet wrap "fill in chips" will come in handy if I get mine done, will do a bit more research first.
