RocketRod's 1970's Viscount Reno

Found this beauty on ebay and purchased for $500 with full intentions for refurb. Picked up on tilt tray and had delivered to my front yard.



Same night ... ripped everything out all electrical cupboards walls ceiling, and it took 3 trailer loads to the dump.



Finally, a bare shell excluding cladding at this stage, even the polystyrene insulation gone



Strengthened up the chassis with some extra side bearers, and rust-proofed whole chassis



Ready for the new heavy duty ply floor affixing down and screwing



Making all the new cabinets out of Fijian Cedar, this pic is the kitchen bench I am constructing.



This pic is the feature bar I am constructing



This pic is the overhead cupboards with built in speakers for the surround sound, above club lounge



Just fitting the new ceiling



This whole van...I have fitted pink batts to the ceiling and all the wall cavities, instead of the standard polystyrene



This Pic is the overhead feature curved cupboards that are a part of the feature Bar...This will have a 22” lcd tv with built in dvd player, and an awesome amp to run the system



The feature overhead cupboards for the kitchen a nice curve to marry with the Bar overhead cupboard



Here is a pic of the front end of the van just been stained and clear coated,all the club lounge overheads etc...



Here is the double bed I constructed with the top of bed on hydraulic struts for easy lifting and storage underneath...all stained and clear coated



Here is the feature curved overheads on top of Bar, stained and clear coated



Directly opposite the kitchen feature overheads, mirror image of the Bar.



Just removed all the old cladding, chased down the original log cabin profile and purchased, full pink batt insulation inside all walls



Just finished all the exterior cladding just leaves me to cut the last window out



Finally I have been waiting for this stage, I have airbrushed the rear end of my van, and I airbrushed our slogan above it....ONE PERFECT DAY



I brought this roll out awning off ebay for $30 one arm was destroyed, so I brought a second hand set from a caravan dealer as the roll out awning was made by Faulkner and they are no longer in business and parts are obsolete. I 2 paked the awning in white clear coated it...then had a new skin made for it.....



Today I airbrushed the start of the decals on the side of van to blend in with my sea theme on the rear, this is the dark blue I will shade in 3 or 4 more tonings of blue through this decal to match my skin on the roll out awning..
