Hi @JasonW ,

Where did you get your blue emblem from mate? Love one to match my puddle lights which are also blue?

It’s better than yesterday’s efforts though!

That depends on which side of the border you are on!

Nope, worse than yesterday’s efforts. Ireland lost!

I added an Evo design shelf today to give extra storage. Had to cut off 4 inches off from either side of the light so it fitted above my unit. Wasn’t cheap but quality is spot on even has a Dimmable strip light

Looks great! How is it held up? Screwed to the ceiling or metal work?

Finished making my sliding tray for the bike. Managed to modify the vanfurniture bed so it can still fully extend when the trays in place.

@Owen1664 that's a lot of work for one day. Wish I worked that quick!
Looks great.

• Fixed the H7 DRL - I am now going to attempt my first ship-in-a-bottle
• 5L of Adblue. First time! did the 30 second ignition, but it still wants more
• Hoovered the inside and cut a new rubber mesh mat thingy for the back cupboard
  
• Put all the camping stuff back
  
• And stuck down the LEDs round the inside of the roof

Very smart! Do you have any details of how you did the ceiling?

I’m sure Jill would love the sight of Jack in his new coat!

Don’t go paddling without your wellies, eh?!!

I fitted a Kenwood CMOS 230 reversing camera today with a 5” display from Reversing Cameras website. I've got LED reversing lights which are very bright anyway, they work a treat with the camera. These shots are in the dark with no street lights, just from the LED reverse lights, I’m pretty happy with it.

I’ve also attached a daytime shot for comparison.

That’s brilliant (no pun intended)

Finished off the both the driver and passenger door sound deadening today, both inner metal skins and door skins. That was the hardest job I have done on the van to date.
The difference in the sound/ bass was like night and day.

Waiting for the window wiper pulley to arrive tomorrow then I can start on the scuttle. Hopefully it’s easier than the door skins.

Fitted a Victron Battery Protect to go in line with my BMV. Nice piece of kit to protect my battery and allow me to isolate my fuseboard too, all from mobile or the switch ( the hanging switch is just temporary)e .

Fitted carpet on sides and insulated panels, need to be brave and do wheel arches. Afraid ours is a work van so not so full on as other vans on here.

It is - have a look at @DXX thread on the subject.

see @DXX work on skuttle

For those interested in sound deadening the scuttle I used 2mm Silent Coat with 30mm Silent Coat Noise Buffler 30 applied on top.
Although not a big area it‘s unlikely to be found clean and best done with card templates to avoid wastage.
One 1m x 1m Noise Buffler sheet is enough with a small amount left over. All faces were covered inc’ the drivers side (RH) blanking plate for ventilation.
The only places not covered are the passenger side ventilation intake and the scuttle drain ports left and right. When you fit the wiper mechanism back you may need to trim the foam slightly, I left mine as it is only just touching in one place.
It has made a significant difference to the cab noise level, well worth doing.

It is once the cleaning is done.
