Isuzu NPS 300 camper build

[ozzyfishaman]

I have engaged a company in Geelong called VMS (Vehicle Modification Specialists) to build the shell for me, then I will do the fit out to completion.
There is a slim chance it will start before Christmas but I'm not banking on it.

Hi 4x4 Coaster,Hows the build going,do you have the walls up Yet :wings:

Yer are the walls up yet ?

I just dropped the truck off today so work will finally begin! I have seen the panels with my own eyes so I know they are there.

The assembly is finished, just waiting for the seal that fits to the pop-top edge, should get it back in a couple of days.




:
here is how they did the wall to floor join. Folded sheet metal glued & riveted to chassis, then wall fitted with adhesive & riveted from inside, and after all walls are fitted, the floor is glued in and riveted from underneath so a very good join is achieved.
The vertical edge of the folded section is 30mm, same as the floor thickness, so it is not visible from inside the body.

Did they make the panels or are they from elsewhere ,say up North.

 

[4x4coaster]

Panels are from local supplier, Melbourne.
