What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[JOG]

Mounted small panel behind drivers seat with hole for Planar heater vent (fitted by Kirknalls just before xmas)

Was looking around for ages for ply and edging to match existing furniture and found one pre-cut for £10 Seat Panel back T5

The blue thingy is an aircraft cargo ring mount, i've bolted a few around the van as it's nice to have something non-intrusive to lash things to! (also works with the Unwin rails in the floor).

Where can one get those “blue thingys”?!!

Where can one get those “blue thingys”?!!

I got them from ebay - the vendor i used doesn't have them anymore but "unwin cargo hooks lashing ring" are magic keywords.
In some areas i've fitted them with M5 rivnuts behind - e.g. this setup where i have a strap to stop stuff falling out of the tailgate

@Niknak I looked everywhere as my main concern was the shade being different to the other windows. In the end I went with Camper Glass and the match is perfect.

You need the below

T6 Rear Quarter Trim

Single Window Fitting kit

VW T6 SWB Driver Side Fixed Rear Window TOTAL BLACK OUT FAKE WINDOW

Hope this helps.

Just finished installing the first of two car door warning lights on Floyd.

Shocked that VW don't install them as standard.

Purchased some fancy wheels! Supplied & fitted at Breeze VWCV Poole. I liked the Devonports, but 17inch I felt were undersized. Nearly done now with the mods, just a few more tweaks to come.

And cost you roughly a grand. Still working out cheaper than upgrading your van but nowhere near as much fun.

Yeah, I’ll stick with the van. My fingers are too fat for model airplanes

Works out about the same price as the van
