The big sheep in the wheatbelt you'll miss, but there's probably one somewhere else too. And then there used to be a big kangaroo somewhere along the Nullabor I think. Well, it was there in 1988!
Well, it looks great! Very modern, and it's much better than materials that you don't know what's happened to them, ewww!

.I don't know if its still for sale. Anyway thank you for all the nice comments on our van. Chris corrected me and said he did ALL of the work on the van. However I reminded him i was in charge of soft furnishings and assisting the renovator.
An assistant's lot is not always a happy lot.

There's a restaurant in there right? Well, under it then!
Stupid that you got no response!
Hmmph at Chris! The furnishings are VERY important! And make up a big part of the interior!

We should have taken before and after shots, but we didn't. The previous cupboards were a bit of a mi-match and were battered around the edges (so to speak). Chris has done most of the work. It has taken some research just to locate things such as non white melamine etc that you could get quickly. We have probably spent about $1000, in all on the van, bought new foam for the cushions, new curtains (bargain at good sammy's) needed to have work done to the fridge (after it blew up) needed a new battery etc. But now we are almost ready to go. What you can see are things like the foldaway table Chris has designed and he has replaced the pvc interior side panels for varnished wood.
Well you know how he likes his 5 star accommodation

Don't forget they're all from around 1988!
