Horse box

Its looking a bit like a horse box now..

The windows have finally arrived so we managed to get the cut outs done. Nearly cut one the wrong size. Measure twice / cut once. Or measure wrong twice, cut bigger hole once. Fortunatly we noticed before we started the jig saw up !

Its all starting to come together now. Its a slow process working everything out, but its worth the extra time to get ot right.

The windows will be fixed in proerly when the interior is lined out.

We have got some heavy duty aluminuim angle to go around the edges. We managed to get this fitted between showers today. The mitre cuts were pretty hard to do, but its all sikaflexed and bolted with stainless alen bolts and will be very effective at deflecting branches and whole trees..

Auto tape to stop corrosion.

Hi.

Is that Chris Scotts old truck?

We are kindred spirits. I'm in the process of rebuilding a vehcile for a mamouth overland journey, though yours look more the part. (more detials to come on www.biotruckexpedition.com)

I wanted to say; Use Autotape (doublesided foam adhesive tape a couple of mm thick) between the steel and the ally. It prevents corrosion of the ally. I've just taken my bus appart and the steel had rusted and oxidised the the ally sheeting.

Hi Andy,
Yes its Chris Scotts old bus, and what a fine machine it is !

We have glued the Aly to 4mm ply so there is no corrosion and more insulation, a bit more work but it seems to be working..

Your project is looking good, whats your route ?

Cheers

Stan
