This is the restoration of Cheetah No.29 expertly done by Marv and Clare. Although the Cheetah had been repaired in the past, these repairs did not last and a full restoration was required. The restoration started on the 8th December 2013.

 

 




 

   

     

217. Work begins on the main roof area.

218. Trial fitting the Heki 2

219. Heki 2's provide a huge amount of light in the lounge compared to the original 400mm x 400mm skylight.

     

     

220. The roof is made in two sections. This is the front section over the side door.

221. Another view

222. Looking at the new roof framing from the front of the Cheetah.

     

     

223. The toilet roof with opening

for a skylight.

224. Another coat of preservative?

225. Roof framing is complete. Time to apply the ceiling boards.

     

     

226. Front roof section with ceiling board placed in position.

227. Rear roof section in position.

228. Ceiling board on the overhead cab.

 

   

     

229. Over the side door.

230. The new charging station.

231.

     

     

232. Overhead cab front all with curtain pelmet fitted.

233. That's a big hole for the Heki 2 = lots of light.

234. Welting is applied to the top of the furniture before the ceiling sections are secured onto the van.

     

     

235.  New kitchen light.

236. Rear lounge ceiling,

237. Kitchen cupboard top.

     

     

238. View of the kitchen slant.

239. Probably more than half way through the restoration so time for celebrations.

240. This restoration was a joint effort between both Marv and Clare so they spoil the shares.
