What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[moomin-j]

Fitted new door Vw logo'd door pins.
Unscrewed the old ones (lefty loosey)
Screwed the new ones on (righty tighty)
The only discussion I had with Mrs moomin-j, was which way should the Vw be read from.
Reading correct from sitting in either of the front seats won



Along with the new accelerator pedal cover from yesterday, its been a busy weekend...

Stainless Steel / Brushed Aluminium Foot Pedals

I mean you can barely tell that pedals been modified ....... :cry::cry: What you on about. Looks OEM to me :geek:

Didn’t you have to drill holes in the roof for the rails though?

Roof rails were already fitted

[True Romance]

Exactly the same thought process for me. I don't mind drilling the rails for bolts which is what I assume you did? Also, which panels did you use to get such a neat fit?

Yes, roof rails already fitted so just drilled through cross bars to bolt in place. Brought these panels which when bolted together fitted perfect between the rails.

Just luggage organisers from Amazon. They are all cheap so bought quit a lot and chose best. These came with YKK zippers and the ripstop is decent.
Quite a few options on colour and sizes.

To make strapping the motorbike down easier, I made a removable wheel chock mount to suit Kombi seat fixings.

Cleaned the wife’s car ( well I did help a little ) then she asked if I wanted the van bonnet polished....Who am I to say no ...

Also replaced the aftermarket Gloss black lower centre grill with the sprayed up genuine one but end result is pretty much the same

Many thanks, I'd look to create something similar, albeit possibly attaching with Button Fix panel fixings (Button-fix - Panel fixing made easy)

Finally got around to cleaning up and repainting the badly painted calipers on the rears, new discs and pads and braided brake lines to match the fronts that I did last year.
From this..

They look neat for heavier luggage. How do the studs attach?

Dont suppose you would fancy making another?????

I could probably make another, send me a PM

Screws, I've always face-mounted, but it is possible to recess by routing into a panel. They are quite a tight interference fit so probably best suited if not routinely needing to be removed

Hi Moomin j - Did you have to remove the door panel to fit the new door pins.

 

[simonnwt6]

Yeah I see the button that locks is a screw also. Not sure how you’d attach them to the luggage.
