So progress has been a bit slow of late as work has got in the way of my conversion plans, but I have been beavering away and have now fully stripped all of the electrics out of the van plus sound deadened an insulated the rear all the decals are gone some were a real pain to remove I have sound deadened the front cab above the headliner also carpeted the headliner and sound deadened the side steps and I took of the wipers and did the scuttle area which has made a surprising reduction in engine noise entering the cab. Today after reading many good reviews about CRS Performance I took the 6 hour round trip to Cannock to have the van lifted by 25mm so now I have Koni springs and dampers plus new disc and pads all round and new anti roll bar Powerflex bushes and new drop link arms. I can't tell you how much better the van is now, gone is the vague downright dangerous steering and the crashing and banging from the super stiff springs on the back that felt like when I took a corner I was going to tip over I can now take roundabouts a ease aim at potholes and blast over them without a care in the world Steve and his team did a fantastic job I can highly recommend them. And finally Steve fitted the new wheels Id bought off Flea Bay last week a set of 17'' Riviera RXS3 With General Grabbers the entire set up is spot on and is just superb.
I managed to get a few hours in over last week and the Transporter HQ V3 Sequential headlight and the Laser lights in the grill so I can now see where I am going at night and instantly blind all oncoming vehicles with my Lasers.
So that's it for now I think windows next and reverse camera which reminds me does anyone know if the standard head unit can facilitate a reversing camera?
All the best everyone and here's some pics ( we all like pics ).
