Bandpass-box, sun visors and more upholstery

In the last few weeks a lot happened. The bandpass-box is finished and upholstered. The amp is fine-tuned and the hifi is rocking!

The gap between box and left panel is closed now. The amp is behind the new panel.

The edges of the sun visors were finished by Lederhandwerk . I just had no idea how to do this...

sidemarkers and main power switch for battery

I found excellent replacement parts from the Taillightking, Texas, for my old sidemarkers. I just ordered a complete set.

Then I installed a main power switch for the living-area battery. This way I don't have to remove the two pole cables directly at the battery.

starting the work for the shoe cabinet

There is still some space left unter the bed, on the left from the bandpass-box. I didn't want to just close this space completely unused. So again I used Google Sketchup for creating a fitting shoe cabinet.

Here some pictures:
