What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Rioja John]

Fitted VeeDubs side curtains today and they are really good quality materials.

Washed it yesterday! Drove 8 miles today. It now looks as good as it did yesterday before I washed it!!! No “Side on Sunday” for me for a while, that’s for sure!!!

bought 2 front seats for my t6 caravelle to swap with 2+1 . I then found they didnt have airbags in them! Can these bags be supplied and fitted into. If not I may well have 2 front seats to sell

I’ve taken apart a few seats recently to recover them and I think the seat frame is common across both seats with airbag/no airbag. The airbag itself fits along the shoulder of the seat frame with a wire connector running to the seat base. I think they would be straightforward to install but I wouldn’t personally take it on as a retrofit - too many variables that could compromise safety (sourcing correct airbag, serviceability of airbag, placement on seat, etc).

There is also a difference in seat covers, with those specifically designed for an airbag to activate safely.

I’m no expert - just a personal perspective. Others may have a view! Good luck!

Stripped out interior ready for winter refurb. I think this is where I was 4 years ago.

Ordered my Retro Rack this morning with the aid of @JOG . It will be ready in two weeks.

Not my size of roof rack but the same style and wood.

My eyes just watered on your behalf! They’d better have valeted that van till it gleamed inside and out (including the engine bay!)

No valeting for me either but they did give me a complimentary dangly air freshener

I got two free paper footwell mats. Covered in oil and mud (also free)

This! Spent longer looking for the tiny drill bit on the floor after it turned out the chuck on the drill didn’t grip it, than it actually took to fit them. Hoping for no more water in the window switches now
