What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Big.mac]

Yes please on the post - I thought the two bits on the back were stuck together (and then stuck to the van) hence my approach. I might have to have another go!

In my original post now

Cheers Mac, I'll investigate tomorrow - I'm guessing it just needs a bit of gently (and careful) levering.

Mac - Didn't wait until tomorrow - the silver outer came off easily and I redid it. Much neater job in a fraction of the time. I should have asked on here first but everyday's a school day. Cheers again.

Busy van day today. Finished (for now) insulating (when the Kombi seat brackets are out there will be a bit more to do), then cleaned it and fitted heko’s and mudflaps....

Bulk head and supporting brackets out and more sound proofing....

It was yesterday but took my new van over to Steve and his team at @CRS Performance

Photos and review coming as soon as it’s been cleaned

Best thing since sliced bread. Filled ours up last week (first time since October) that’s after a busy winter last year (let’s not talk about this year so far....) cost £6.35! Cheap as chips

Yes, they're the Omtec roof rails. The awning rail fitted neatly down the side of the roof rail base plates. I ran a length of double sided tape down both edges of the awning rail than contact the van first then it got clamped down as the roof rails are tightened back up.

It does cant the rail over by about a 1mm but you wouldn't notice it.

Soundproofed the front wheel arches and plenum chamber. Also, made the T4 curtain fit the T6.

Been thinking of doing this myself (that and the doors). Have you had a chance to test it out, does it make much difference?

cheers

Not yet but I'll go for a spin later if I get a chance. I put a layer of sound absorbing material on top of the silent coat too so hoping it will help with the tyre hum that has got worse since I lifted it.

Finally fitted the seat covers I bought a year ago. You can’t rush these things! Still a few minor adjustments needed. Think they look ok until I can afford the full leather re-trim.
