It is for the Nissan, I think I might be in over my head with it.
After a bit of digging about I think I found the van on a Jap site, there must be 20-30 models of the same van, between 2 and 4WD, auto and manual and different engine sizes and trims etc.For the life of me I couldn't find the VIN number.
Was hoping to put in a pop up roof but they are crazy dear so was on youtube and seen guys making them, wouldn't be easy for me but anyone who has worked with fibreglass and can make the mould wouldn't have a problem.

give it a year or two and fiberglass will be as outdated as asbestos is now, there bringing out a carbon fiber kit....

 

[fr3d12]

I think it's fiber glass they make the roofs with, they run to a couple of grand for a basic one and up to 3k for one with a bed.
The carbon ones will be expensive I'd say

 

[ae86 grower]

you have pm


thats mad money in reality for an extra bed, and they look awful i think... unless its the couple of grand one and has been molded to the roof and sprayed in etc, even then there just bareable to look at... i know its for the kids, and they`ll love it, and sure when your driveing it you don`t have to look at it hahahahaha..

the expensive thing about carbon is the material, there now produceing a kevlar material cheaper, not up to formula one standard or such but affordable to the average joe...

 

[fr3d12]

I thought about the cheaper option of the moulded roof but I don't like the look of them so the pop up is the best of a bad lot IMO

The kevlar would be good, strong and light.

your 100% in your thinking dude, can be a great attribute to a camper, its just the look of them that i don`t like, sure who cares once it works for you, and its practical....


and you don`t have to look at it when your off down the road in her hahahahaha....

 

[fr3d12]

I'm a bit of a perfectionist and wouldn't feel right unless I could stand up, there's a possibility I'll never go camping in it but still, I'll go the whole 9 yards with it such as power and fixtures.
Was pricing crash tested rock roll beds that can used for passengers and believe it or not just for the frame with boards they're 1600 quid so that's out for now.
You're right about the roof, some vans they don't suit at all and they look awful

 

[ae86 grower]

1600 for the frame and that.. what a f***in liberty...

you got a good deal in what you got, and i`m sure that eye of yours will come across something that suits you, i`d try a few breakers, or the uk, they have a few camper only breakers over there..

 

[ae86 grower]

have to go collect the little ones from there nans, catch you later fred...

 

[fr3d12]

No bother talk later and thanks

 

[Jay_normous]

@ Fred, doesn't sound like too much heat then, back to basics with a damp tissue for now I'd say... Best of luck..
@ AE, flowering a couple, OG dead head and liberty haze...
Once I'm happy with the whole hempy method then my major scrog WILL happen..

 

[budsahoi]

@ fred where u just using perlite for seeds? perlite is a fast draining substrate so ur seeds would dry out. vermiculite is better for seeds. best of all is ordinary compost. people are going to too much trouble with seeds just plant keep moist and warm, thats all thats required. ive had 99.9% success rate with this method.

evening buds, how goes it with you today, any starange or exciting going on...

 

[iamaaror]

Right you are about the hazes AE, takes a long time to see your return if it makes it that far lol. The zilla is at day 67 12/12 now and still got 90+% white hairs and pushing more out more daily.

 

[ae86 grower]

they seem to go on and on don`t they... great stone off the tho so they pay back the grower for there patience...

how much longer iam? you say they`ll finish within the next 2/3 weeks?

 

[iamaaror]

Hopefully it will be a great sativa, my first smoke was a super lemon haze that was awesome, I'm trying to find something along those lines. Should be finished within 2 weeks knock on wood. The RH is around 60% and slowly climbing as she gets denser. Don't want to risk bud rot and throwing out ounces again.

 

[ae86 grower]

that would have broken my heart to do... and i mean tears and all...


think i`m looking at solid 9 week finishers... which is such a relief after the lemmon haze for so long, these seem to be flying out of it...

was at the veggies earlier, birds have eaten half of all the red strawberrys on the kids, not even eating them all, the bastards.... how goes you own...
