Looking good. I was thinking along very similar lines regarding having a section over the sleeping area that you stick your feet under ala west cali / james cook style. Still undecided If I will go for it or not as I went LWB on the base van.
Dod you carpet the cab with general 4 way stretch or some specialist gear ?

I'm beginning to see the James cook layout!
Ben how much does the handbrake lowering kit actually drop the lever? |

How do.
The carpet in the cab is commercial carpet, the stuff used in shops - not the stretchy lining stuff. It wasn't easy to work with, but looks good now. I bought a rubber mat to go over the top of it too. Makes it feel less agricultural and its quieter. The hand brake drop kit drops it a lot - basically it rotates it further forward, its definitely more of stretch to drop it of and put it on, but it does work. I'll sort out a pic |

Water tank fitted - units will be built around this - it will be filled by opening the rear doors rather than cutting a hole in the side of the van

Carpeted around windows. I'm trying to keep the amount of carpet used to a minimum - however I couldn't come up with a better way of lining around windows. Anyway, it transforms it instantly and does look good. I also blocked up one of the rear windows - above where the cooker will go.
 And I made a table  |

Its been a while since I've updated this - I've been fairly busy on the van - have a crossing to France booked in August and am trying to complete before then. A few months jobs listed here:
Fitted some curtains:  Boarding the roof:     Replaced the crappy dash speakers with some Infinity Kappas - big, big difference! And they fit under the original grills  Build an over cab cupboard and added rear speakers:   Edited by BenA - 20 Jun 15 at 23:37 |

Insulated / built wall over rear window - this is where overhead cupboard is going
 :  Carpeted the sliding door, added a curtain and made a new door panel and covered in vinyl:  Covered all wall panels in vinyl:  Build the overhead rear cupboard - pretty tricky to build with the tambour doors curving around the rear of the cupboard - had to fashion the channels to work the way I needed them to:    |
