I haven't really posted any updates on here about my campervan project so thought id do a quick thread to show it. Eventually ill get it all into a project thread 
After driving ot around for a everything inside got ripped out. Then after having no enthusiasm for a couple of months i pulled my finger out 
Jobs done so far:
Replaced the old ford wheels it had on, with brand new minilites
Bought some original seats
New flooring
New insulation and sound deadening
Fitted a leisure batttery split charging system
Semi-fitted and early bay interior
A lot more still needs doing but itrs slowly getting there!

Thanks for the comments!
Chris- yep run to the sun is still going as far as I'm aware, it's in July iirc?
Dave- get down to a SofSC meet then!!
Rich- I know I should have but those Saab seats were too high and absolutely killing my neck. These will only hurt my neck if I crash

Low back seats are cool as Fuck

Some updates after a year!
Fitted new panels and door cards throughout,
New driver seat which i bought for a £1 off ebay-still waiting to find a decent passnger seat but may consider some porsche seats if i have no luck,
Removed the weird film off the rear window,
Halfway through building a new interior, its all made out of 15mm lightweight ply with an oak formica covering,
Fitted a 240v electric hook up system,
Fitted a new 3/4 width metal framed rock n roll bed,
Bought new curtains and seat covers (a little gay but they're alright! )
An electric washer pump so i can actually spray the windscreen now
