With the tangible possibility of Spring approaching thoughts have turned to getting pROJECT mAYHEM to the next stage of completion or as it is also known spending a truckload of money.
Today has seen the van booked in to have the side windows fitted - unfortunately it won't be until March as the recession doesn't seem to have rocked the VW market too much and in fact it seems to be booming at the minute. Also making an attempt to get the R&R Bed commissioned though that was thwarted by the minor fact of the boss not being there - no great issue really as I know the majority of the things that I want for it and it was more a matter of confirming a few thoughts than anything else and also getting some sort of build date so that I can start to plan out the changes I am going to have to make.
So what is to be done? What follows is an extensive (and probably horribly expensive) list:
- Strip carpet off side door ready for window to be fitted.
- Remove opposite board, cut down to half size ready for window fitting and refit.
- Remove other boards and re-glue where they have come away from the ply.
- Remove old floor and speaker\amp housing - strip of all parts that will be reused.
- Build new lattice frame under floor and cut new 9mm boards to fit.
- Move leisure battery to under R&R Bed.
- Run power cables to new location for battery.
- Rewire front speakers and add more sound deadening to try and stop the minor but very noticeable rattling.
- Move speaker cabling for rear speakers.
- Run cables to new location under R&R Bed.
- Build new bass bin and amp housing.
- Wire up amps - power, speakers, RCA cables and the like.
- Rewire interior mirror via a relay to the battery and re-run the wiring for the electric windows.
- Build cupboards in remaining space under R&R Bed.
- Fit electrics - Invertor, cigarette socket and the like.
