DAVE’S MAGNIFICENT
CARAVAN
G'day folks,
Welcome to the work of a clever man.
For some of us, DIY
means hanging up a few picture frames at the weekend, or giving the garden shed
a new lick of paint. For Dave Moult of Malmesbury in Wiltshire, England,
DIY means building a teardrop trailer from scratch that Jules Verne would
have been jealous of.
This is
actually the sixth teardrop trailer David has built himself, sourcing old
original parts from car-boot sales or eBay. While the materials don’t cost him
much, Moult can spend hundreds of hours over many weekends working on a
trailer. He gets quite attached to them and has only ever sold one for £5,000
after 2 years of use.
Let’s take a
look-see at the evolution of his epic DIY project…
The leather panels came from an old sofa Dave bought for
£15 and worked with a specialist company Retro Retrims to give the feel of an old
explorer’s library. The chandelier? It’s fashioned from an old coffee
pot and copper pipes.
Clancy's comment: Wow, how cozy is that? Love ya work, Dave.
I'm ...
