To say i am pleased is an understatment :compress:

- just dont know how im going to bring myself to sit in it, never mind use it!

The leather is natural nubuck (fab to the touch, will be scary when my daughter is about..) so the door cards will have to wait if ever - kinda like it so its fine. :twisted:

Boxes is like every Christmas rolled into one! Over two years i've worked on this interior and finally what has been in my head becomes real :cheers:

Box unit under the bench seat is next on the list for finishing

I can see why you have a roll of kitchen towel behind your front seat -
it's to wipe up 'accidents' from people that get too excited about your bus! :oops:

And I don't blame them - your bus IS amazing

What's next?
Cheers,
Dom.

Great skills cabinet maker by trade by any chance?

Now there IS a complement! :cheers:

Nope, hand fisted 2 steps back one forward approach with the delicate touch of a fat finger or too. Used to work on boats but more of an oily way of life - a few were classics.. Push pens and batter keys in the oil industry now

Spot the mistake...

Is the mistake on the floor?,

stunning bus dude very classy interior

I wouldn't have rested a mug on it - something would have fallen off! I remember wincing at it a few times

Looks simply amazing now though.
