hell i was on you tube for 4hrs looking at fibreglassing, how time flys, 4 hours i will never get back. lol  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D But i do have a Q. i found a few things of interest, but how do i copy a video clip to a dvd or cd ? in other words some things i looked at were 2, 4 or more parts, so if i wanted to just copy/record to a dvd and create one complete video, instead of 6 separate videos, how can i do it.

Before this starts getting off topic...

hey Rogue,
 have you thought of getting a roof top cut and turning it upside down then welding legs on it so it would be like a bench ,
then using ply and spray foam to customise a roof skin with speakers and recesses for dvd screens etc?
i thought about it ages ago but never got around to it.

using same tequnique as like in this dash build=
Nova Armaturenbrettbau / Dashboard build

Hmm, thanks for the suggestion Marty but that might just a bit complicated for what I'm after. I just want a simple roof lining. If you had suggested it to me about 20 years ago I'd probably have been keen.  ;)

mine is done by glueing 1" foam to the roof and then glueing the draylon to the foam. Has been in there since the original interior build back around 1992 and has never caused rusting and never fallen down. And also provides a rather good sound deadening. Thats why its the only part of the original interior build that stayed for the new interior.

Cheers Jeff


Thanks Jeff. I need something that is removeable as I will be running wiring up and in behind it. I'm still investigating the bendy ply. Just need to find someone who stocks it.

I priced up a roof lining for my white van, they said from $350 depending on the material
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Check out my gallery, remember I put a roof lining in borrie $,350 is a good price, it took me 6ish hrs + bows + fab + glue, bla bla bla. if you want a neat job get it done, or you will never be happy with it, it's all in the final fitting too.
Can I go play now...?

i used metal 'c' channel screwed to the roof ribs, then insulated using acrylic batts, then panelled, got over the rounded corners by making pelmets along the sides and rear, all interior wiring runs along pelmet ... can vouch this system works great particularly for any future or unplanned modifications, just spent last two days completely rewiring the interior, moved stereo from overhead console to dash and installed cb/uhf in its place, then moved fuses and amp to other side of van, all this meant dismantling pelmets, console and some panels to reroute most of the interior wiring but job was made much easier than totally stripping and rebuilding the interior. no pics (but there are some before pics in my gallery showing the pelmet system) ... leaving early tommorrow morning to Canberra to look for building work, ...... buga was a good opportunity to do photo sequence but got too carried away trying to get all wiring done while I was on it (nothing worse than coming back to it in 6 months having forgotten what wire was feeding what ??) and all this because the combination of a front sunroof and overhead console made the stereo hot in summer and was worried about melting cds oohh and I have a 1980s style cb to put in its place  :-* job still not finished but all cables and wiring rerouted waiting to be fitted off ...... oohh and make a new face for the console  :D still a good beddie fix but aye  ;D
ekm ...... never lead with your chin, let others lead with theirs
