Whitey1's well travelled 120

How romantic. You take Mrs Whitey up to the top car park at Mt Adelaide at night. Point the nose towards the harbour, crack a bottle of chilled chardy, tilt back the seats and watch a guaranteed tear jerker girlie flick on the DVD. Guaranteed to get you in. Love your work.

Roof Console

Well I got back onto the roof console this arvo and have got the mounts worked out.
Nutserts in the front



Which a special bracket bolts onto



And another bracket riveted to the roof brace where the center interior light goes.



And there it is bolted up



Now just need to get it upholstered, screw the lights in and its done.

Are you going to run extra power up there?

Ah, somewhere for the missus to keep her 3 pairs of glasses, her Kindle, her tissues, her purse, her lip balm.......

Actually I think you have done a fantastic job, can't wait until it's covered.

Thanks Dave

Glasses....yes.
Kindle....don't own one(do have a Nexus 7)
Tissues....yep. Will stop the box ending up squashed flat on the floor in the back
Her purse...no
Her lip balm.....more than likely.
Phone charger cords etc as well.

Not going to run any power up there at this stage as I've got enough outlets already.
Will be running the mic for the stereo up there though(phone).

Ok, I've finally got around to covering the console today. I used a dark grey vinyl that closely matches the pillar trims.



Oh yeah, the smell of contact cement! WhooHooo!!


And the finished product.


Hmmmm...Which wire does what? Working out the wiring for the interior lights.

Very nice Whitey. Do you or the Mrs knock your heads on it when getting into the car?

Ah no. Our heads aren't that close to the roof.
And I will try to get a pic up tomorrow of it finished and installed.

Heres some pics of our home built drawer unit(without the drawers) showing the fridge slide and water tank.



The roof rack is all loaded up. This is the third layout, now with a tilt up solar panel to provide access to storage underneath.
