Cheers Daz rub it in! I know ive been neglected the track car over the past year or so but the big house build was a little more important ! Lol
I'll dig some pictures out of the T25 van(also tango'do. Can't beat a brightly coloured van) when I get back from holiday. 

Cracking panel van arf, making me want to start building another! 
I cut my camper building teeth on T25, so easy to work on and parts are generally reasonably priced. Unlike the T5 schene where everything seems to have 50% T5 tax on.

Slow progress at the moment because of work and cold weather  :(

Looking great, one of my best road trips was in my T25


My mate cycled Lands End to John o Groats and I was his support van!

That was my first van, iv had many others since these are a couple of my favourites..









Earlier ones are a pain to drive anyway!  Iv actually got a steering rack conversion and double wishbone suspension on the Splitscreen so it drives very similar to a T25 now, plus it's got discs and later bay rear brakes so it stops slightly better,

You will enjoy camping trips in your bus, it's great just turning up at a campsite and firing up the bbq

brucieboy  I was going to but the 3/4 bed came up for sale about a mile from my house for under £100 including foam :)

I made the little storage box same height as the R&R when in bed mode, so all I need is a bit of foam same size and it will be a full width bed :D
