You clever sausage @StudleyGlass. Had to zoom in and then figured out that what I can see is the reflection out of your offside slider.

You got it . It is hard to see on a photos really.

 

[StudleyGlass]

Your not the only one confused.
By dummy glass, I assumed you meant attached to the rear quarter over the actual metal panel @StudleyGlass but that looks like you have the glass on the inside Or is it glass on both inside and outside?

Sorry as you can tell writing is not my strong point.

Mate, converting a kombi to a Velle wouldn't be mine.

 

[Deaky]

It looks ace mate. Like you've just driven it out of the showroom

 

[StudleyGlass]

Couple of shots with the seats in.

Looks absolutely Mint mate..
I think that you really could open a new line of work.. giving ppl option to OEM look internal panels.. there must be a market..

How did you wire the front Caravelle interior lights into the Kombi loom? In process of doing the same and this in the last part for me. driving me bonkers! My Kombi only has a 3 pin connection to the original lights, the Caravelle lights are an 8 pin connection to the switches and a 4 pin to the actual lights!

I cant help you with the wiring TBH. @Pauly done all the rear loom for me and wired the front overhead console up. I am sure he can advise you on this ?

Wow @StudleyGlass .......absolutely stunning mate! I'd love to have the caravelle seating system fitted in mine.....but I'm pretty sure the lovely Mrs MD would be keen for me to move in to it, along with a bin liner full of my clothes!!

 

[StudleyGlass]

Thanks @mopardave

I would gladly move into mine some days to get out of my mad house...as i have a house full of females !

@Pauly can you shed any light pal? (pardon the pun!)

 

[Pauly]

Not really it was ages ago and never looked at another one and IIRC it was only partially functioning ?

I remember there was something that did not work quite function right when you wired it but it all works with the courtesy lighting and the lights switches on with the button when needed, so i have never had a problem TBH

I can maybe see if i can get a photo of the wires if i drop it out ?

 

[Pauly]

Yeah I’m not quite sure what we did, I just connected the existing wires over to the new fitting to get it working as best we could
