jobs done so far:
removed the artwork from sides and marquee.
i cleaned the glass,there are a few spots where there is some glue left from the artwork that was there but,its pretty clean.
cleaned the cab,i find they have this weird smell,smoke,aftershave,beer! so i gave it the general once over and removed a lot of that horrible smell and paint splashs etc.it could still do with more cleaning.
thanks to someone in the monitor topic forum i got the horizontal sorted on the monitor (no more black band) i have switched the monitor to the vertical position.
i removed the cp,i got the buttons off and the ugly joysticks,will stick some ultimarc ones in i got already.i cleaned the cp,as i was removing the paint spray i noticed there was a rubbery vinyl there so i tried to save it,was a lot of hassle but,i removed it and then realised as i was cleaning it that it got stretch marks on it.
i cleaned the cp with brass brushs and a drill,just a bit more to go but,i might just source out some covering and put it on as the cp is now.
here it is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i removed the bottom of the cab,it is made of mdf and was well beat up,all feathered up and splitting.
i got planed wood.
here is where i am at now:

i am going to drill holes in the places i think i need to to strengthen it up,i will use dowelling and glue.
the wood on the left and right is bolted to the cab (thats the way it is) i actualy constructed this on the cab not away from it in case i got the measurements wrong,if i had when it came to bolting it on i would have had big probs.its all wood glued at the mo.when i have put dowelling in the places to strengthen it i will unbolt it and remove it and a few more dowelling rods in a couple more places that are not accessable while its fitted and then i will fit two wheels so i can cart it round.
i will slope the back edges of the side wood for when i tilt the cab back so the wheels are free to make contact with the ground.
it will be sprayed black.
QUESTION?
any suggestions for where to get a good vinyly material for the cp?i need something thick and if i have to buy glue to stick it on i aint partial if its not sticky back.something substantial like 1mm,i am having trouble sourcing out some cp covering,i dont want to spray it.
i would prefer a rubbery covering.
