What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Ukfozzybear]

Spent an hour of lunch covering the multiflex board. The edges aren’t razor sharp but I’m happy with what I’ve finished up with.

Did these last night/today. No longer cream, now satin black.

Looked at it. Agreed with myself that it definitely needs a wash! Looked at the sky. Agreed with myself (again) that it can wait as “the rain will help loosen the crud” before washing it another day!

Quite an agreeable day actually!

Looking very good and the care/patience taken with the prep work shows in the finish

Bought a pleated blind and had a go at fitting to the rear of a ply panel that I made. Then carpeted it and put it in with hidden trim fixings. Not totally pleased with the way all the clips have (or haven’t) gone in properly, but I’ll tinker with it tomorrow.
That was my tester. I’ll buy the other 3 blinds now and make the rest.

Ooh! I like that....a lot! Very tidy work

I repeated what I did in post #4242 but on the other side. It is important to be consistent and pace yourself when you’re doing these things!
The bonus was being allowed an early beer for my efforts!

Slowly going through the conversion process, thought I'd start on the floor and removed the rear threshold near the tailgate. Looked a bit grubby and full of dirt, wondered why the latch had wires, thought it maybe for the towbar


Unbolted it and it rattled when shaken,took it apart to realise its a powered latch. It's not worked in the 4 months I've had the van



cleaned, regreased and put it back, all working fine.

What a bonus, I've now removed the extra door seal I put on the tailgate because I could see through it when it was closed, no wonder it didn't seem to fit properly Duh!

Wow! Bonus find!

Just done a test fit on the wireless reversing camera in my barn door trim, as recommended here Aftermarket Rear View Camera

Need to remove the temporary woodwork in the van to get to the D-pillar before fitting permanently
