Nothings that expensive!

Finally got around to fitting the fog breakers, removed fog lights and yellow filmed them at the same time.

@ei-aprilia - Hi, I have the vinyl ready to tint my front fogs. Are there any special tricks I need to know to apply the vinyl tint? Do the fog lights need to be removed for the tinting?

Took the van for its first MOT.

Bragging rights! It is nice driving away with a clean sheet though

Yeah, you always have that nagging doubt in the back of your mind don’t you.

try owning a T2 1979 bay window - it was like waiting for the birth of a child outside the mot station

I remember when I was a trainee mechanic back in the 80’s you could get a pre MOT, do they still exist?

New caravelle door cards with Silent coat 2mm and sound absorber applied ready to be fitted.

Jeez....this hurts....but, I’m going to suck it up and say it......that’s a lovely job you’ve done there! Looking really good!

*JOG wonders if my therapist will help me during lockdown!

Cheers @JOG been putting them off for ages. Really easy to fit though.

It’s Milano suede. I didn’t do that part got bognor motors to do that for me.

Lovely!!

Finally got my drivers seat to swivel after having the handbrake bracket lowered. Only thing left to do is remove some material off the bottom of the cover to return it to an OEM look. View attachment 95025

Have you modified your handbrake cover,
How much needs to come off?
Just got my swivels in so this is the next job for me!

Nice job, easy to do?

Nice job, easy to do?

Not so difficult to do so long as you can use a Dremel and a ruler.

All I did was create a cardboard template for the light footprint and used it at the same location on each door card. If the square hole I cut wasn’t quite the right size I filed it until I was a nice fit for the light.
Power wise they use the same power feed that powers my puddle lights.

Two wires which are connected using t-taps in each door. When the door card comes off I will take a pic of the wires you need to tap into.

That would be great cheers! Looks a good idea, there is not even a reflector on the door when open!!
