“Ours is a work van”....oh, so you mean an actual real van then! You’ve done more work on yours yourself than I have!!!
Hi there, love your cabinet.
I have a question about it though. how did you make the join between the top/bottom horizontals, and the quarter round corner pieces?
I've been looking at the sections online and can't figure that out.
did you use these guys and notch the panels/doors to suit? US $9.98 |16pcs/20pcs L Shape Type Interior Inner Corner Connector Joint Bracket for 2020/3030 Aluminum Profile (with screw+wrench)|Corner Brackets| - AliExpress
Or did you have some variant of these US $6.08 9% OFF|20S 30S 3 Way End Corner Bracket Connector for 2020 3030 Series Aluminum Extrusion Profile|Brackets| - AliExpress that works with quarter round.
Finally took the short trip over to see Steve @CRS Performance for a bit of lowering and new Koni's. Scenic route on the way back and have to say its transformed the ride, really pleased. Thanks Steve...

Covered the scuttle in Dynamat Extreme over the past two evenings in the Arctic weather we are having. Had to use my heat gun to warm my fingers at one point. The things we do for our vans!
Anyway it’s all done now.

Wow! That’s a super job @Texxaco
Oh come on now, don't tell us half a story!!!
Surely you must have had an essential journey to make afterwards, you've run out of food and needed to get some more, or you needed to check your eyesight?
So does it make a difference??
My eyesight is shot so no testing needed there. Sat in the van to get the battery up to charge, and it does dull the engine noise. Glad I did it, next the wheel arches. The van is going to weigh a tonne more at this rate but it will be quiet
After swearing at the rivet gun which made the job difficult, I mounted the Eton speaker in the driver's door and closed the door card one final time. I don't have anything on the job list that requires the door card off ever again!
Oh, you’ve so jinxed yourself now!
Ouch! And it is 20 times worse in the cold!
I know that feeling, sick to death of removing the door cards.
Although I do want to cover them in something just not sure whether to go suede or leather/vinyl.
Did you then launch the offending rivet gun and get a new one off of Amazon?
I have the passenger door speaker to do, so will have to try it one more time. Plug and play, my arseDid you then launch the offending rivet gun and get a new one off of Amazon?
@Texxaco Are you not going to add the 30mm Sound Buffler foam on top? It makes a big difference.
Plug and play. That statement annoys the bejesus out of me. It’s never that easy. Ever!
