I found a few types of holders, they I thought were good for the shed tool box, but I did not think the spanners would stay in place in the back of my Nissan when travelling, so I made my own, which so fare have kept them in the right order.

Finally had some time off work this week. Finished a little early.
So finished putting the outback console and UHF in, also made new mounts for the roof screen. So now my little man can watch his Thomas the tank engine again and can stop pointing to the roof telling me to "fix fix" lol

Started sanding down one of the templates this afternoon too. Taking a little longer than expected, but hoping to have it finished tomorrow. ;-)

Aired out the CT after being away for 3 weeks and decided to put in some carpet to stop the bed from sliding around!

Will put in the dual 12v sockets this week as well next to the bed and the single 12v socket (for the shower) and the isolator switch on the back of the storage box.
Cheers

modified my car trailer, moved the winch post forwards, lowered the front rail so it shouldnt touch the cars spoilers.

found a new spot for the spare wheel to sit and welded on some braces.. well a threaded bolt.

washed and painted it.

Doesnt sound like much but there was lots of cutting and welding..

cleaned and setup my new car fridge..


Yes it looks a little crooked thats cos I havent removed the 2 pipes under it, one is bigger than the other..
I used the pipes as rollers, I pushed it in the room by myself, was so easy, could use one arm most of the time..

now I need help to remove the pipes.



the shelves have been removed and a hanging bar has been installed for hanging lambs and venison. etc etc.

Finished the isolator switch n 12 v socket on the back of the storage box. Just finishing the carpet in the storage box to stop things sliding around!

Then that should be it for a while!!

Ran all the new brake hoses for my tandem and started finished cutting the plate for the floor. Won't be long now till its on the road!!

Just need to weld the floor in and buy some new backing plates for the hydraulic brakes.
