Newbie from the North East incoming...

Another few bits done. THQ gloss black trapezoid sidebars mounted and barn door rear spolier. Still a lot of mods bought and ready to fit but need better weather and my bad back and knees to play ball for a little bit. Anyway, couple of update pics.

I used to share a house with her (her house, I just lived there) down Hatfield Rd maybe 35 years ago.
She moved there with her now Ex Ian and son Mason a while ago.
I knew another Lynne, Foster, who used to live down your road, went to school with her from 74-86.
 
A proper local guy then. Hopefully bump into you out and about at some point. With your van being bright orange I guess it'll be easier for me to spot you than the other way around lol.
 
It is so bright I can see it from here! The Suzuki seams cool. I know that they perform well of road but what is it like to live with?:)
 
Front end all sorted, for now, with gloss black splitter, grilles, trim and a set of HTQ LED DRL headlights. Very happy with how it is starting to look now. Will add some black VW badges front and rear but that's the aesthetics done for now. Windows and insulation and carpet lining up next though.

Got a few more boxes ticked off. Windows are in, decals fitted, bulkhead removed and foglights upgraded to better match the headlights. Happy it's getting there. Carpet and all of the insulation and deadening materials have turned up too so that's up next. It needs another already. Roads to work are filthy, feels like I wash it more than drive it sometimes haha.

First bits of work on the inside conversion, with bulkhead and ply removed, remaining interior panels off, sound deadening installed and then a thermal liner and insulation. Still to be added is some 35mm and 50mm fleece. Just waiting on my new ply panels to come and then floor and rooflining to come out so I can start the carpeting. Slowly getting there. Slowly. Oh and bought replacement foglights (Osram Cool Blue) and a travel mug to match the turquoise badges lol.1000022228.jpg1000022212.jpg1000022221.jpg1000022224.jpg

Bit more done on the inside, seems like the van is fighting me at every stage. Nothing goes as well as hoped and everything is more struggle than expected. Still, progress, all be it a bit slow. Headlining done, just waiting on longer clips for joint strip section. Floor next, didn't get to it today but will get it sorted next weekend I hope.
