Hey shane,

I see where your coming from, I see lots of bits of furniture with a "how could i..." approach, although this may be one (or more)_ steps beyond our capabilities. Essentially the entire workings would need removing, and you would be left with a pre-molded sheet of thin metal, and either wooden or plastic ends and back... so thats not a great start, the best way would be to block the circular door and look at installing doors on the back...

At best not easy, at worst...dare i say a waste of time, to create a viv that may not even look great?

Hope it helps..
Andy

For the sake of spending £30 on contiboard, I really don't see why you'd want to unless you were trying to prove some sort of artistic point??

Its possible and probally worth it due to comedy value alone, but your probably better off paying for a viv rather than converting a washing machine as it would cost bout the same amount.

The metal body of the washing machine might cause a few problems with efficient thermal control plus all electrical equipment would need to be well earthed as again the metal case would conduct electricity rather well !
would look novel though and you could always call it ART and sell it for a fortune.
