| Going to need another small section of flue when parked up, but added the cap so that rain doesnt get in for the time being. |
 |
| And the moment of truth. Relieved to say that it draws really well, and warmed the space up incredibly quickly. |
 |
| The roof is aluminium, which makes fireproofing easier, and the area around the flue has been lined with heatproof board, just in case. There will be a register plate added at ceilinglevel to finish it off. |
 |
| Flue arrived from Windy Smithy, so got the woodburner installed - heatproof board round and underneath it,and its screwed very firmly to the floor. |
 |
| Got its top half door now too |
 Bit of window detail |
 |
All clad, reclaimed double glazed window and lower half of door fitted |
Studwork and cladding for back wall going in
 |
| Its nearly as big as the bungalow that I'm living in... |
 |
| Back of the truck all boarded out, and ceiling lined. Just the back to fill in. Ramp is staying for security. |
 |
| Wool insulation on the other side of the box |
 |
| Wool insulation and then foil stuff on top, before ply boarding |
 |
| Walls getting battened out - also helped to straigten the wonky glasonite |
 |
| Floored out with ply |
 |
| Insulating with space blanket. Thats glue on the walls from the old rubber matting, by the way - not horse poo. |
 |
| Battening out the floor |
 |
| Back of the truck after gutting it. Its a glasonite box, so plenty to fix to, but not a lot in the way of insulation. |
 |
| The living area having been totally gutted. |
 |
| The new cab, fitted up, with new steps made, wheelarches, bonnet and doors (all of which had to be replaced, with new or donor parts. It then took 3 years to get as far as fitting the windscreen. |
 |
| Luckily I found a guy who had stored this cab in a container, years earlier, and never used it. Bar a couple of patches it is as good as any Cargo cab will ever get. All primed and ready to fit. We had to carry it between 4 guys, and lift it on, which isn't something I would recommend. |
 |
| The aftermath of cutting the cab out - because of the fixed luton, tipping it was out of the question, and fitting the new one was a **complete** nightmare |
 |
| Cab is so totally rotten its beyond repair |
 |
| The wagon in its original state in 1993 |
