What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Dkdaz]

Nothing too extreme, just some vw wheel bolt covers to finish off the wheels. Had to put some double sided tape on the locking bolt cover. Bit of black paint will sort that

You can buy stainless steel jubilee clips.

Thx John. In the list of jobs

Hi. Went a bit mad last week. New swivel passenger seat. New RIB bed. New bike rack and a couple of new sockets near the front of the van. Left with a couple of holding down brackets. Can I get blanking off covers or are they useful for something ?

Interesting approach to filling the holes
You need some of these….

Pardon our interruption...

Mounted an OEM T30 front spring on a Koni Special Active using a pair of widow makers. There's a surprising amount of preload in the springs. Just got to work myself up to doing the other one now...

Working with those things has been one of the most scary car jobs, ever. This is back from when I did mine, there’s enough force to make the rods bend

Squeaky bum time. Mine stayed straight, but I have to admit I was on the verge of nipping out to a garage to see if they'd build up the strut/spring assemblies for me for a few quid. How have you found the shocks?

The shocks have been great, absolutely nothing to complain about. But I changed arbs, ball joints, lower arm bushes, tie rod ends and drop links on the same go so it’s little bit difficult to say how much of the improvement was down to shocks.

Also doing all of that except the ARBs... when I get enough of a break from the kids to get the van in the air!

 

[MyOtherCarIsA]

That's the second one done. Two eyes, two thumbs, eight fingers all still attached. I'm calling that good.

After being away for the last few months and the wife being in charge of the van with strict instructions not to wash it while I was away, I spent a good three hours giving her a clean and putting the banded steels back on ready for the summer!

The wife or the van???

Fitted Ezee Parts seat covers. Took most of the day but very pleased with the result. Not one of their standard covers but made to my requirements. I even generated a T6 logo that they added!

 

[TeeCeeJay]

Messed up the fitting of our new side stripe slightly on the passenger side but only if you look really close. Will see how well these stand up to stone chips and washing etc before deciding to remove or refit. Love the look, don't love my attempt at fitting!

Got round to enabling Indirect TPMS on my T6.1, using this information on the forum:

Lithium. Can’t wait to finish. Hate electricity and Tetris

 

[Mrcl]

Finally got the bulkhead fitted back after being all carpet lined and sound deadened…

 

[Mrcl]

Oh and the new seat covers fitted… a lot easier without the bulkhead in, saved the seats coming out!

Did this van belong to anyone on here? A sorry end for it

 

[snavebelac]

Picked my van up yesterday. It's all booked in for a camper conversion but delivery times on the equipment & parts seem to be getting longer and longer. At least I get to drive it for a few weeks before it goes to the converters.

Nice little VW Custom bumper protector on my T6.1. Fits like a glove and the gloss finish matches my trim

Hi, looking for a gloss rerplacement myself, would you have a link? cheers Niall

 

[Jonesy68]

Fitted some 3M helicopter tape to protect the paint from the awning. Need to have a lot of patience to get the bubbles out. Turned out pretty well.

I'm looking to adding this, where did you buy the tape from?
