Mercedes Sphincter Camper Conversion

Kitchen, rough but ready for now...
More work on rear storage
Bed extended, with kitchen counter on far left.Extended to bed
Rear sofa-bed
Rear wood work, Mabel's bedroom and storage areas
First trip away
Insulating and ply-lining
Ripped apart and pressure washed, now a blank canvas!
Gallons of waste oil soaked under the floorboards, explains the bad smell...
Old workshop in the back, all had to come out
The Van - an ex roadworks crew-van
