Waved goodbye to the van yesterday for few weeks! The big conversion is finally starting! I'm like a kid at Christmas! Not sure how I'll get through the next few weeks!

 

[Kind of Blue]

First clean and wax this year.

Blimey, I could shave with that mirror finish. How are you elbows must be worn out!

Mr Miyagi would have been proud, that's for sure.

What’s in the pipeline ?

 

[tommy_t6.1]

What’s in the pipeline ?

Poptop, full re-carpet, suede headliner and a&b pillars, suede rear panels, bespoke unit for fridge and powerbank and lots of leds and 12v sockets! Also having the front seats retrimmed to match the rear r&r bed! Will be like a completely different van when it comes back!

They posted this earlier on their insta! So excited! No going back now! Haha

 

[B.different]

Now that's what I call a panoramic roof

Nice , assuming you’re using power bank for sole electrics in the rear ? This was my plan also. You going for a rock n roll bed ?

Yeah going power bank route. That way I can use it in my work van to charge batteries when were not camping. Although I've not decided on size yet! Space will most likely dictate that!

Already got a r&r bed. Went for a RustyLee full width one! Cracking bit of kit!

This is how the van looked 8 weeks ago before i ripped it all out! Haha

Van has had a lovely trip on the back of a flatbed recovery truck as the clutch pedal has decided to hit the floor and not return back!! The nice AA patrol man has informed me it's probably the cylinder in the box as its leaking once the brake fluid is topped up and pressure applied. Now sat at a garage waiting to be picked up by the wife. I think it's gonna be an expensive fix!!

A Little update. The van has been on the ramp and needs a clutch kit. Not bad seeing as the van was dumped outside the garage on Sunday evening. Apparently the DMF is fine and not required. Not sure if i should pay the extra as don't want the same to happen in a couple of years time.

 

[Sasquatch]

DMF might be fine now, but will it last the life of a 2nd clutch? Personally I'd not risk it, but it's your call.

 

[JumpShip]

As above , if its coming out then I'd replace it .

 

[JDC]

Been thinking about. The price is putting me off but I know it'll cost double that if it needs replacing,

 

[Stu007]

Made my own bike rack that bolts to the forty winks bed leg and super happy with the result! And still allows me to put the bed down with the rack in place.. (did have old system that bolted into the ground anchors)

 

[TallPaul_S]

Nice, is that a SC Blur? Not a chance I'd be able to get my 170mm bike in that way
