Meet Belle, short for Beluga.

She is the replacemet that I bought as a couple of weeks ago, the works van was sold!

She looks clean in the pictures, but she has had a hard life! It's now my job to taffy her up a bit, make sure she runs well and earns her keep. (I dare say it will be an easer living than whatever she was doing before hand!)

The 1st job on my list was to sort out the rear load area.

It didn't look too bad in there... Just a bit basic. (The nearly new ply makes me think the old must have been horrendous!)

I covered the old 9mm flooring with nice sturdy 18mm ply and added some wheel arch boxes.

After that, I laid a bit of carpet...

Then got my cabinets and boxes in. (It looks a little lost in there... They took up most of the room in the MWB Sprinter works van!)

Now shes starting to feel a little more like mine!
 
Thanks Rick.

Yes & No, & Yes again.

At work I am (was) a curtain fitter, but with the van gone the service was no longer offered. So I decided that I would pick up the slack for that side of the job in my own time. So although not exactly new to me... It's new that I'm going it alone.

The actual new venture would be the 'DoneByDunn' name/brand. You may of noticed the tag in the 1st pic. That was something I started during the lockdown... It's still finding it's feet, but now I have less time with all the curtain fitting I'm now doing in the evenig.

If anybody is on Instagram, @Done.By.Dunn is my profile, so give it a follow if you please. :D
 
Gave the workhorse the usual upgrade...

Feels a bit more civilised in the cab now!
 
We want swampy Patrol pics :lol

Aye, I will upload those and tell you the tale when I get a minute! :lol

I think I tried to send you some over WhatsApp, but maybe you've changed your number? :confused:

Sent you my new one mate :thumb2
 
Good clean work as always Jay.
Nice project.
I’m still interested in putting a Pioneer SPH270 in the Patrol.
Do you know if I would be able to download ViewRanger and What3Words into the head unit?
