The golden shower

We moved the shower from out original plan from by the door, to over the wheel arch, the shower tray i bought was very small 585x585cms so moving the shower around the wheel arch meant a bit of extra elbow room, dad raised the profile of the wheel arch when he boxed it in making a shelf/seat, with storage underneath. he then cut out the floor so the tray would sit down, to give some extra headroom. he cut some thin ply to put in the bottom and will eventually fill the gaps with expanding foam

.

 earlier in the week dad cut two panels for the side walls and profiled them beautifully to fit the curve of the van, I managed to get a 20 metre roll of lino from ebay for £20 and collected it from five minutes up the road, convenient and cheap but not my first choice of colour but its growing on me, we cut the lino to fit the panels and then bonded it on with smart tack spray from tool station.

one panel was then put into place and leveled so we could use it as a guide to stick a sheet of pre cut lino to the van wall and down the wheel arch, now this lino turned out to be pretty tough so to get it to bend over the wheel arch we used a heat gun which softened it up so we could bend it and bonded it section by section, once it was in place we put strips of wood and clamps onto the curves to hold it.
