She’s a tad grey looking... roof and tailgate panels not done yet.... going to hold off in till I get some electrics in, so I can carpet and cut spotlight holes for the lights all at once. Having 2 spotlights in tailgate for when boots up, and 4 in the roof.

WOC black gloss splitter fitted just after Christmas. Happy with it!

Brilliant meeting @Tourershine this morning, discussing vans whilst doing the dodgey deal of handing me over @T6180 bilsteins.

What a lovely van Paul has, and to let me drive it, awesome ride, I think the pictures do his justice to the fact mine seriously was in need of suspension.

 

[Tourershine]

I'm not going to argue with you there @CALLAKN. The T6 in standard form does not drive how I thought it would, and I now have a new found love for how mine drives. B14's really are the ultimate in improving these beasts. I look forward to seeing yours with slightly less arch gap

 

[CALLAKN]

Completely different van !!!

 

[T6180]

@CALLAKN @Tourershine Thank you gents for the purchase and delivery.

@CALLAKN I hope you enjoy them
@Tourershine as always really appreciate you dropping them off for me

Shame I can’t even get my locking wheel nut off to get them put on... f***ing thing slipped and now just slips.

Are you using the rubbish VW brace? I had the same thing and got a wrecking bar with a 19mm socket and it is easy every time now.

 

[CALLAKN]

Swapped to my bar after it slipped. I’m an idiot , might be going to Halfords to get a locking wheel but remover

I've had several issues with locking wheel bolts, mainly because I remove my wheels so often, but I ditched mine ages ago (Just don't tell any wheel thiefs)

 

[CALLAKN]

VW has an awful design!!

 

[CALLAKN]

Ps, van fell of my stand... so yeh real f***ed

 

[CALLAKN]

Backs done.... fronts tomorrow! Any advice lads? What size it nut on top mounts?

 

[CALLAKN]

Well, that was hard work... first time ever going near suspension on any vehicle! And I fitted my B14s courtesy of @T6180 !

 

[Tourershine]

Nice job mate, looks loads better. Spacers next and you're done
