Since the introduction of our eclipse lining package we have continued to offer our standard lining package however funnilly enough nobody has ever gone for the standard package (i cant think why 
). So we are thinking of developing an "ultimate" lining package, we have been playing around with some ideas for this over the last week or so and think we have come up with some good stuff but I would be interested to hear if anybody else has any good ideas we could try to include in this setup (after all we are are customer driven buisness). So..... anything you think we should include?

He was. Any ideas to you want to throw our way for the "ultimate" lining package @Roadrunner
@slidepods - not sure if this is a crap idea or not but how about the option of custom embossing? I.e a wooden VW logo on one of the ply panels before it's carpeted or even a name out of timber letters before it's carpeted (toying with the idea of embossing "buzz" into the ply panel on my barn door as that's the name of our camper).
I'm afraid not we are planning an overhaul of the website later in the summer to show a full range of what we do conversion wise but its the package we did on Thoggs van earlier on in the thread.
Ahh gotcha. Very nice work indeed
I have had this van on the drive now for around 4 weeks but with holidays booked and work commitments, have only just had a chance to play with it, and here is some feedback!AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
I have been harping on about our HPL lining package for a while now in this thread so I thought it was only appropriate that this should be the first place we uploaded images of it for everyone to have a look the more eagle eyed of you will spot these are also the first images anywhere of the LWB Kombi Slidepod

Both of the companies that worked on the van are fantastic and really listened to what kind of spec I was after.
After getting the van converted to a kombi with a few extras, I began talking to Jonny about the possibility of a insulation and lining package, this quickly snowballed into what you see in the pictures as the option of a completely flexible, working van materialised.
The work that slidepods turn out is very high standard, but it is the snippets of information and ideas that they offer that is exceptional. Because of this I now have a van that can hopefully do everything that is asked if it.
I do not intend to keep the van spotless and immaculate, instead it will be well used and enjoyed.
Can def recommend slidepods if you are thinking of something a little different, but you may have a bit of a wait judging by their bookings diary.

@TeamT welcome to the Forum and I must say that is a lovely looking van that has everything removable and protected so that it can be a workhorse . @slidepods and the original converters did a magnificent job and it's good to put the member and van together.

Really enjoyed reading this, giving me a better appreciation of what's involved, love the pods too.
Now we've spend all our money on a van putting a lining will have to wait but I will be adding the sound deadening and insulation.
I've been looking at all the different sound dreading materials. The question I have is why go for dynamat/ silent coat over say a thicker foil lined product like a dodo therm? Do they do the same thing or should both be used?
What works better for the side vs the roof?
Thanks

I'm not a pro at this stuff @Jamie2.0 and slidepods might be able to advise you better but I used 2mm silent coat for sound deadening and found it to be great and takes the rattle out of panels easily. I used dynamat on my front doors but apart from being stickier than silent coat it felt pretty much the same (no issues with silent coat sticking just dynamat was stickier). After that you will need a second product to insulate. I used recycled bottle insulation from B&Q and then foil bubble insulation to finish it off (many different opinions on insulation products). As for lining I done mine myself. It was a PITA but I managed to achieve a nice finish. If your money is spent on the van it would def be worth a go yourself after a bit of reading
Thanks @xpfloyd, after reading some more posts and looking at a couple more how to's the silent coat and dynamat look the way to go. I'm quite impressed with the van already, I'd say its only marginally noisier than the Focus St it has replaced. We have the spongy rubber kombi floor which i think must help.
@Jamie2.0 You can actually pull the carpet back off if you make a mistake on a bit and apply more spray glue and go again. When I was doing mine I had to do that on a couple of bits as I didnt get it right the first time. The glue is pretty quick drying so it takes a bit of pulling but due to the thickness of the carpet you can pull it back and glue it down again and you cant tell afterwards what happened
Glad to see that our thread is helping you @Jamie2.0 . We are actually supporting a forum member to line his van himself at the moment. The project is still in its early stages, currently he has visited our workshops and been given a run through on how to achieve a quality and individual diy lining job and is now gathering the bits and setting aside time to do the job and document it for the benefit of other members.
@slidepods look forward to seeing the results.
Thought you had nicked mine for a moment
