plans..
Lowerrrrr
side windows in front panels, and tinted
rear view windows tinted
rock and roll bed
later bumpers
captains seats

so hear it is and what i have done so far.....

The van.......


started off with a wash, the roof was nice and green......



so once all the green was washed out came the tools for the next job......




i also removed all handles, trims ect.....

after

and again.....





so while set about on the out side, i roped in some help for the inside....

had my sister sweeping th back....

and my dad cleaning the cab...

not all that bad tbh.. i got 2 years no claims, but have got the running on my car at the moment, so didnt get the full discount, but managed to get it for £1000 fully comp as a second vehicle.

nice van dude

Haven’t updated this in a long time.
Have done a lot of work on this van and have enjoyed every minute of it.

so far i have had to do a far bit of mechanical work which has slowed down the progress of what i have wanted to do to the van.
i have replaced all 4 shock and now have bilstein lowering shock with new front torsion bar adjusters and 60mm springs on the back.
Front lower arms have had all new bushes pressed in along with drop links roll bar bushes, and bumpstops.
Discs and pads were also replaced due to the discs being solid rust when i got the van.
full service with glow plugs and forte diesel treatment.
had to also replace the power steering pipe, belt and tensioner.

Colour coded the light plinth as i didn’t like it black

bra fitted and lows





inside the van
new ply line floor and walls carpeted
vinle floor
rock and roll bed
sink and 2 ring hob





my swade roof


i ditched the double seat and went for a captins


so far have had 2 camping trips in chugger and hope to have many more over the summer, cornwall is on the cards and a few vw shows are planned.

i hope to finish my units and extened them to end of van, more to come.............

coming along mate, the suede roof is a nice touch

Lovin this liam
