What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Nothing.

Had to re-align my wipers.
Driving along and put the brakes on at a roundabout and all the snow came off the roof while the wipers were going and magically managed to make one wiper cross over the top of the other one as I rapidly tried to turn them off.
So I ended up with crossed wipers.
Anyway, a bit of fettling and they are back where they should be and seem none the worse for their experience.

Mmmm appears wipers are not happy this morning. The left one only moves a bit then the right one goes over the top of it and they ended up jammed together across the windscreen.
Oh well-a job for when I get home tomorrow.

So I really really should do a build thread!! but its been busy busy in the land of MrG

I completely forgot to post this little update, did this a few months ago but as I have been tinkering with more wiring and LED dimmers this weekend....
I did the puddle lights when i installed a couple of buttons in the overhead storage....

Its all about the little things!


A few other bits I have been up to.....
Finally got round to trimming the front of the pop-top, round the roof lining, deadened & insulated the cab roof. (re-fitting the roof lining is a horrible job)


Love a 3d printer.... made a magnetic mount for the buttons, (trimmed in black suede), fitted buttons (1 does the reading lights/USB points in the poptop, the other will turn all the interior LED strips On and white - nearly there) and connected the button surround lights to the courtesy light circuit.

Video here -

Insulated the glass (12mm thermo liner pro) around the safari window opening before...



Trimming and fitting the Vanshades (NS, OS & Tailgate)




This was basically the weekends on the run up to Christmas but I think I'll leave it there for now (else it really will turn into a build post - Did I mention I should really do one )

LOADS more has been done over the Christmas break (dash, steering wheel, leisure electrics, cabinetry), needless to say I'm currently grinning ear to ear every time I open the side door!

Ill drip feed in here or find where to create a build thread #havenopatience


EDIT:
Just received an email confirmation for a delivery tomorrow......
Excitement level now turned up to "11"
New 'shoes' are arriving tomorrow #mademyday!
