No snow now
Going to go chop the seating arrangements around a bit now, put a single seat in the front, and cut some of the 1/2 bulkhead out, so the surfboards will fit in lying down
Wire in the stereo and give it all a good clean out, got sleeping arrangements sorted for track days n all, but not sure if it will work yet

So spent all morning [Censored] about, acheived- removing ply half bulkhead, fitting radio, clean out

. Bloody single seat wont fit without drilling the floor, and I only stand to gain 6" width so left it with the two.

Run some notched timber rails along the sides about 8 - 12" above the top of the bike, sling some scaffold tubes between them across the van with some 1" ply over, and instant trackday bed
