haha! that would look great with a safari behind it!

coincidentally, someone on the site has a safari with red stripe down the side that they're doing up! i'll get a few photo's of their progress!

oh wow - this is quite exciting! i found this picture of 'bew' when she was in the original ambulance livery!

got some hammerite on the bumpers, wheels and wing mirrors - looks good as new!

going to get a woodburner made for it soon and put insulation, ply line it and electrics.

 

oh, and i forgot to mention, it has a plaque in it saying " This ambulance was used in London's Burning, The Bill and Eastenders" - what a star!

Aw, what a cutie

 

You haven't gone for the metallic Hammerite, have you ?

[alex_m]

i can finally put up a picture of the inside after much scrubbing and ripping out the gun bus seats!!

it's now a blank canvas!

 

 

[janey]

How and with what are you going to kit out the interior?

[alex_m]

first port of call is to get sheets of 25mm celotex insulation.

also, a bit of leccy wiring, then ply lining ontop. i'll be going round scrappy's looking for old caravans to get a few bit n bobs. a wood burner made from an old gas bottle will go in the corner to keep it toasty in winter. lots to keep me busy!

I bought a wood burner from an auction and fitted it in my office. Its too small as it was fitted in romany caravans in the 80 and 90's . If i fit a bigger one I will let you know. I will try and remember to get the name of it. It is fantastic as it burns coal and wood has a moving riddle in base lights really easy and totally controlable with ash pan so can keep it going 24/7 . It is about 14" wide and 10" deep with this going you wont need insulation.

UPDATE 1 Year Later....

 

 

Unfortunately i couldn't afford to have 3 vehicles, so had to sell Bew I got as far as putting a sofa bed in her and some other little bits.

I have however, kept Clementine, she is an absolute beast! So noisy

Which one was Clementine? The Renault?
