This is how the rear interior of my HJ used to look like BEFORE i got it.
Would like to do it the same again.

What don't you like agro? the quality of finish of your interior, or just the amount of tail that you get in the back if it? Lol (jokes only)
But seriously, if you were to go wood veneer again i would make it all out of raw mdf then once it all fits perfectly (dry fitted) un assemble it all then get it veneered or laminated, then edged it all, then 2 pack it. If you need any sneaky cabinet tips just let me know.

btw with an interior, be it home or van (or van home..) to look good (and flow together) you need to be able to reference something already there. So if in the front you have carpet, vinyl or timber bring one theme into the back. if you have any big blocks of colour try to break it up either with negative space or some sort of detail (could be nice stitching pattern etc..) Best of all ask others what they think, everyone has different tastes but sometimes others can point out aspects that you could otherwise overlook. attention to detail always is what gets you over the line at the end of the day.

I don't mind the look of the interior, it had been removed before i got the van.
Might do the cupboard slightly different, but if i can find some pics of it when it was it it's prime, i can decide from there.

Hello Bribie green.

This was our original van in the 80's and the next picture is the Sandman van we have rerecreated. We used a laminated timber grain gloss finished product, and covered the archway in vinyl..the melamine cupboards are good for storage, and one of them has a freezer bag inside which is waterproof enough to use as an esky.

I would feel like winnee the pooh trying to get thru that holeWe are in the same situation about doing something to our van,We have in place everything we need for a weekender and now we now know what needs to be in there,So we will build aound what is in there.There only thing I am a bit iffy about is where to place the gas bottle for the cooker,Most likely will be under the van.Nice simple lay out your van Jennie,Are the side bins storage?We want something the same for the pot/pans glasses etc

Yes they are storage, they are built using melamine shelving,and all lift up to open, and have partitions in them, one fits a bottle of wine exactly...the others have spare blankets, tail tent, and we use one for an esky in the left hand side closest to the tailgate, it is lined with a cooler pack to make it more waterproof...the ones over the wheel arches are not lined in melamine and we put tools in there...

I love simple and under done. Clean lines in some sort of soft cloth for that warm look and feel. Never was one for over the top mirrors and mini bars inthe rear. My van had an archway, full length boxes over the wheel arches and shagpile as far as the eye could see before it was ripped out by the previous owner. I'll try hunt up some pics.
