The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

[Overland Hadley]

Upholstery

I upholstered the bench seats with the black marine pleather! :ylsmoke:

It was a big learning experience, as I had never tried to upholster anything. But I am happy with how it ended up. Still need to make some trim pieces to finish it off.

I have no idea how it will hold up, as it was an odd job to do. I wanted to keep the hinged top of the benches for access to the storage areas, so it was not a normal upholstery fit.

Overall I like the look, and the benches are now soft, warm, and comfortable.



Passenger side dinette seat-

Drivers side bench-

The only in-progress photo I got. The fabric taped to the wall so I could staple the underside, before I slid the pad underneath and stapled the front and sides.

A couple more little areas worked on. (There will be an aluminum trim piece along the front edge.)

If you do fit an Ute bed, just think of the fun to be had designing and fabricating your new side storage cabinets...

Ha, no comments. You guys must agree with my girl and think it is hideous. Thats okay, I still think it is perfect for my camper. :elkgrin:

The latest small progress on the Tardis, more playing with bits of aluminum.

Want to guess what these are for? They will be mounted on the exterior....

Pulleys for a hoist to lift a boat onto the roof?

Damnit, river took my guess. What the heck is pleather?

False leather, or plastic-leather.

Close, but no cigar.

But you did get me thinking, and I could easily also incorporate an awning option. Thanks!

Another small piece finished in the aluminum puzzle.

Also received a package of Easton aluminum. :ylsmoke:

A shower stall?

Seems like a lot of weight for a shower stall.
