rodney,. Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 im a van nut lol , if you wanna board it out then thats easy, buy some plywood , about 5mm thick give and take , measure up a template and cut to fit the van , secure with screws , then............. fill the gap between wood and van with builers expanding foam , when it goes hard the sides of the van will be solid and not flex , also it will make the van much quieter an warmer ,.

The rear area including the Roof is being Ply Lined all the gaps filled and then Covered in Leather Look material (glued and stapled), ive just done the Cab area Roof liner in the same stuff in black added some Black sun visors and it looks wicked. Once ply lined il carpet out the back, and then where my sub and speakers are im hiding that all behind an MDF board so just the speaker grills are visable and then covering the MDF in the leather look material. to finish off ive got some nice soft glow blue Led's that i can switch on from the cab area and the final touch is a Mini In car DVD player that sits nicely in the back too. throw in a couple of bean bags for comfort while watching a DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
