After much thinking and planning over the last week or so, I spent my birthday – well, the whole weekend – going to Bunnings a lot, and continuing the conversion of the dirty unkempt smoker-stench-filled ex-Trady van I bought, into a clean and excitingly decorated Van, perfect for camping trips.
With the help of the Heidelberg crew – thanks guys :) we converted this:
to this:
The piece in the middle lifts out, changing it from a bed into two storage bins with hinged lids.
The story is unfolding in the gallery here, much more work to be done still.

It’s like Pimp my Ride, just without Xhibit.
Dear god, how did I not know about this show? I now have inspiration…
“The first season of Pimp My Ride features 15 rides, all transformed from pathetic hunks of junk into slammin’ wheels with crazy extras like turntables, ping pong tables, espresso makers, chandeliers, and lava lamps.
Although, I have to admit, I have been contemplating the possibilities of a lava lamp already. And putting LED clusters in all of the random holes that run along the sides of the roof inside.
Go for the electronic bowling ball shiner and ball storage area.
