What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Texxaco]

Bit of a clean in the cab and cleaned some bits that usually get left out.(Is that detailing?) Especially pleased to clean the cable covers on the doors as they were coated in yellow film. Also silicone lubed the door seals in case it freezes again!View attachment 99107View attachment 99108View attachment 99109View attachment 99110

Nicely done @MikeWillmott looking ready for going nowhere. Unless that is you’re a key worker?

Filled it with diesel (working from home so not put any fuel in since early December ) then went for a blast up the dual carriageway, then came back indoors to continue researching wheels and suspension because I hate these Claytons

Snap, but so many choices, if the clayton was a 18" 8j it would be a sweet alloy!

Refit roof bar wasnt 100 percent happy with, fill up with diesel, good clean polish and seal! As @t6blo said, dam claytons, saving the pennies for some new ones!

I use WD40 works great. Mine were yellow, looked like they still had the delivery wax on them.

WD40 to the rescue.

All dressed up and nowhere to go! (To a popular tune)

Or, your arch liners are soon to be colanders!

Good for drainage!

Toothbrush and Rhino bike cleaner but anything with nonionic surfactant should do it. Sprayed with silicone lube and a wipe down to finish!

Only trouble with WD40 is that it leaves a sticky film for the dust etc. It great for cleaning and water displacement (who’d have thought!) and I would recommend GT85 as an alternative or in addition as it leaves a PTFE non stick film - spray it everywhere except braking surfaces- I buy it by the dozen for my bikes and they stay looking new!

After making a storage box to fit under the fridge I decided to make one to fit above it.

 

[BoroBoy]

Finished off spraying the interior and thanks to my neighbour picked some Kicker speakers/sub for the van.

@RyanGerry - was it easy to strip down and rebuild the overhead lighting unit? Any tips you can pass on?

 

[Owen1664]

Putting in my caravelle seats after converting from a 1+2 front set up. I don’t have the rear bolts or front Hex nuts to fit the seat to the base. Can anyone link me to some of the correct ones ? I believe they are m8 hex nuts but want to be sure on both.

Yes mate very easy just take it slowly and remember where all the little bits go, I even stripped down the buttons which I needed tweezers for to pull off the spring.

Took her for some TLC at Breeze Southampton and they gave me this for a few days to drive about in.

Would you change?

 

[RyanGerry]

Would you change?

I don’t think so, I love my T6 as I’ve made it to suit me and my needs, but this is only a standard panel van so very basic inside. I’m intrigued as to what the sportline will look like.
