Curtains look good, I like the pattern, but I guess its my OCD kicking in, but you would have thought they would have lined the pattern up,
I would have had to send them back if they were supplied to me. :?[/quote]

Can't say I'd noticed. I have put them back matched up you will be glad to know.

I found this thread yesterday, and on looking at the pic' s of the van In the closed down Esso site I said to Mary " I know that site" A bit sad but that's my background. It's between Amotherby and Malton. Passed by it yesterday. Mother in law lives at Slingsby and we're there at the moment. Small world. Nice looking van. :cheers:

Yes nice part of the world. The old Esso station is a great photo opportunity had to do it.

Very happy to find this unused Gaydon Melaware on ebay.

A fairly easy job fitting the ford focus isofix bracket, a lot easier than fitting rear seat belts.

Here are a few pics of the Devon inspired interior i've been doing with my little helper.
The original Devon interior was ripped out by the guy who had the bus in the 80's so he could use it for a work van!!!
I've kept the existing interior and modified it to suit our needs and added a few Devon inspired touches.
Hope you like it :D :D
