What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Ali-G]

yeap, same. washed earlier in the week, this morning - covered in sand!
- so just been out and given it a quick wash again (my OCD went haywire)

Missus tells me it's going to last for a few days so if your OCD is that bad you'll probably have to do it again tomorrow.

yep i am tempted to leave it as the rain may bring the buckets and spades as well as more sand

Still not washed it ………after my 2000 jaunt to Slovakia it was due to be washed then I had a short notice trip to Paris for 24 hours so didn’t see the point.

That’s a lot of European bugs

Valet guy coming Friday. He isn’t going to be too happy.

sounds about right. makes a nice change from the usual birdy poop it attracts with hours of being washed i suppose...

tbf i've done a shyte job and there's still some sand residue on it so it'll need doing again
but we're away for the weekend so decided it needed to be in a reasonable state at least.

A slight shower last night (in the UK Midlands) means all our vehicles are covered in Saharan dust this morning.

I’ve just finished cleaning my van for the second time this week because of the sand, I’m now cleaned , packed and ready for Busfest tomorrow.

[McCarney]

Thought I’d splash out on a decent thermal blind. Fits like a glove or a face mask

 

[MrD]

Packed the van and cleaned it ready for a blast up the M1 to Campsite near Castleton. Think I lost a stone in sweat bloody tropical humidity here

 

[Raymund]

Wiring and fitting a rear view camera. It was 31 degrees here in Holland . no Sahara sand

 

[click83]

Oops no amount of cameras and beeps will help if you don’t look/don’t take notice of them as too busy talking out window to the friends who have the weird drive that is challenging to turn round on.

I think the LV reflector is the same as the Vw one? Anyone able to confirm before I call them.

Might be a bit late mate but yes it's the same reflector. LV don't supply you with one when you order the bumper, you just take the OEM one out of the original bumper and fit it to theirs. They may have one to sell you though, or you could just order one from ebay etc

Racking out of my ex fleet van at last!
I've also fitted three of five windows and put new wheels on this weekend (thanks @Tin )

Starting to look a bit less like a panel van now.

 

[Albel]

Started fitting the first of many painted components.

Any suggestions on how to pit the top trim section would be gratefully recieved - centre clips are in fine, but ends are proving problematic.

Are you sure you have removed all of the old trim bits ? Did you remove the old from the front without taking the grill off as they snap and this can leave a little bit the the plastic in
If it’s all clear and nothing then a firm push is all required
