I'll definitely document it. I'll see if I remember to take enough photos to warrant it's own thread first though!

Importantly remember to measure Centre of wheels to apex of the wheel arch and the sill rake measurements before and after , this is important ?

If you need some tips on the fitment call or message me !! remember also remove the front hubs completely to split the hub and shock assembly , don't try to split them on the car . ( TOOOOO difficult and risk of damage to stuff )

Sill rake being the measurement from front /rear sill to ground? In order to make sure difference is the same after the kit is installed?

Will do, thanks for the tip. I'm off to start on the rear to build my confidence and go from there. Good to know your happy to help mate!

Yes, Rake angle :- measure just behind the front wheel a point on the sill that can be referenced to the rear , then measure same point in front of the rear wheel . spot on , good luck .

Brought this today...the story goes we used VHT caliper spray on the fronts..however the rears are a bit more fiddly ( when painting in situ) so managed to get POR15 paint from same supplier....Frost restorers equipment...very helpful....I’m hoping to give feedback on durability later..

thanks to @Dellmassive ...Bloxsport wheel hangers just arrived

 

[CrickCampers]

My Stepson/Fitter/Fabricator has just finished the fitting of Worktop (Acrylic) Tambours and Folding table, at last..... Nearly there now, & nowhere to go!
The most I could do was modify the front grills,

I haven’t even got a van yet, but I noticed Vanstyle were selling smoked side repeaters for £10 (+£8.28 p&p) so thought now was a good time to buy as I would have bought some anyway at a later date.

 

[VanDamMan]

Just got a delivery..from Bilt Hamber...only issue is the wife saw the invoice....umm now I’ve got to wash the dishes all week...
(didn’t have the nerve to tell her that’s the tip of the iceberg).

It is harder trying to get deliveries into the house without the other half spotting them or asking 'unnecessary' questions at the moment.

TOP TIP lie to her say your doing her Christmas shopping now in case we are still In lockdown in December

 

[XZO]

Not bought anything for a while.
Caravelle sat lonely in the drive and nowhere to go.
Any suggestion?

 

[Eddie Sutherland]

So I bought over the last couple of weeks front seat swivels, new LB terminals, uprated tailgate struts, rear speaker loom, rear speaker pods and a ctek split charge and still shopping. O nearly forgot glove box and footwell lighting

 

[Spaghetti]

New carpet, tailored for the van. Perfect fit too! From rugs for bugs. Heartily recommend.

Steering wheel and washer fluid cap

Speaker cable & speakers from Absolut5, Jason was very helpful. Also answered some questions on doing other elements of my tinkering.
