Honestly, no updates for months and then three in 24 hours. I spoil you, I really do
Ages ago I was boxing in the rear seats. Made the end panel to cover the heater:
It's on magnets so it can easily be popped off for access if necessary:
All put back together it looks like this, which is rather neater than before:
Bunged another USB socket in the top for on-the-go tablet charging:
Up until this point the storage under the fridge has just been open shelves. An actual door would be a bit obstructive (has to open into the aisle), we thought about drawers but they're a faff to make. And then had this idea - make a frame:
Persuade a handy parent to get busy with some canvas, zips and a sewing machine and presto:
When parked up, unzip, roll it up and secure with magnets thusly:
And another "mend broken thing" job - replaced the increasingly-battered passenger mirror housing, that had definitely been bounced off a few too many hedges. Again, right old faff to take apart, especially as a previous owner had at some point stuck it all together wit PU goop:
but much tidier when done:
They're not original Fiat housings, pattern ones off eBay, but for £12 for both sides I'm not complaining
Also replaced the centre roller on the sliding door because it wasn't running very smoothly. Can't think why:
And discovered the frankly astonishing bumper-restoring properties of linseed oil, which I found a bottle of in the garage:
I also replaced the broken radio aerial, but I didn't take any pictures of that on the grounds of extreme dullness
