I just finished making some heavy fabric covers for the cabinetry and bench seat. Posted plans for them on the Gallery today.
As I sometimes use the van to carry loose cargo, felt the cabinetry needed some protection against bumps and dirt.
They are completely fitted to the cabinetry and just slip on and stay.
Made in 2 parts - 1 for the cabinetry, the other for the bench seat.
I used a discarded roller blind of very heavy fabric - felt almost like sail cloth! Sewed on an old Kenmore sewing machine in an afternoon.

Well done. I have a few dings that would have been avoided had I used some protection while using the van as a cargo van.
