Glad you got back onto this, did you have any thoughts about the internal height? (Tomarse is tall AF y'all, I'm not and I don't remember being able to stand up inside)

I think lifting the roof is a job for a future year! (stripping the sides out and cutting holes has made me realise how easy this would actually be!)

I was thinking of bribing you with some beers to sit and sketchup me a new interior layout being that I have now moved the door since your last excellent one!. I know what I want to do but need to plan it to confirm how many sheets of wood I need and to try and get them pre-cut to approximately correct sizes. I can bring it round to yours and upset your neighbours

No bribe required, I'd love to help however I can. Let me know when and what you want.

I'm not at all familiar with the kit you're using but if you're getting current flow in one of two directions could you put 2 LEDs in line, one for charge with polarity to match, one for discharge with polarity reversed?

E: can't be that simple, the discharge led would drain constantly surely

I thought I had a 5l for the old lawnmower going spare but it's 10l, 160mmm wide, 350mmm deep, 280mmm high.

That's a good app. Do you have a link or part number for those panel clips?

Those refillable ones seen expensive initially (~£180) but yes when you consider a 907 is 2.7 kg of gas for ~£22-30 it looks a lot more sensible long term.

That's why my 907 got turned into a tiny fire pit.

You could do with 2 tanks as you describe but a crossfeed so the liquid level in both equalises, but I know far less about vehicle LPG than you do so :shrug:

Apart from the front doors it now has paint all over it!

Its got a couple of small runs, quite a few bugs (the greenfly were loving it when the sun came out) and a couple of loads of plant jizz on one side but i'm happy with it!

From when I saw it in person that's incredible and looks like a new truck, great work. Don't sweat the bugs, they'll rub out/off when dry.

Money. Sadly it's always money.

My brother is rolling restoring an SE6 scimitar, apparently due to the fibreglass body they have a separate independent ground loom which makes this sort of thing doubly fun.

Truck looks great.

Yay the 101 is back!

The flooring won't be too bad if you get a warm day, that makes it all so much easier.

I apologise if my kids jumping around on it contributed!

This could be an opportunity for aluminum brazing if you've got a torch.

Those too-good-to-be-true-looking aluminium brazing rods I keep seeing might be just the trick as they'll be non structural, but I guess you'd have to strip the insulation etc. from inside first.
