Before......

This weekend sees major changes in Brian's appearance.

The first will be that he will be going over to the garage to be lifted, and to have his new wheels put on.

These......





... will be his new boots, and they will be the right load-bearing, the right PCD, the right everything.

He's being lifted because currently he is lowered at the front, and not at the back, which means he's right on the bottom if his leaf springs at the front. This is far from ideal on Norfolk roads, nor yet on town roads with their accursed speed bumps designed to stop joy racers in a gti..... ;-). Hopefully this will make him a more comfortable ride, as well as getting rid of the 'falling forward' feeling that one gets if one sits in the back!

The third big change will be his curtains.

Currently we have these....





..... which will replace these.....





.... a particularly offensive chav-tastic Burberryesque check!

They are not lined, nor yet fitted neatly. The rest of this post should show the reasons why these need changing....




The main van section.







Back window. The new curtains will be a pair as well.





See? Burberry check does not match Brian's 'fun bus' feel. His idea, not ours!




Roof lights. Also hideous.

The new curtains are also blackout lined, which will be lovely, and the red interior means that it should have a very cosy feel.

Obviously I'll be putting up photos as he's done, but this is his before post.

One day I'll explain why he's a fun bus, but not today lol! Today it's just exciting thinking about all the changes ahead!

Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone so don't mock the spelling and I'll be back later to sort the layout!
