Bit jealous of the surfski too
Used wayyyyy more snow foam than I needed to then clay barred, waxed and sealed the whole van. Even had the wheels off and cleaned inside and out.
Then picked up my now edged kick plate for the front of the bed and fitted that at long last.
Had originally bought this as a money making project. Think I’ve fallen in love with it
Got some time off work now and actually have 5 days to spare to catch up on van projects so I'm hopefully going to get a big chunk of my to-do list done.
First off was to replace the 25mm square section steel that the downstairs bed rests on when folded out, as it has some slight stability issues that can allow the end of the bed to slip off if everything isn't perfectly aligned. Got a piece of 40mm square section aluminium, cut it to size, drilled it and fitted end caps Much more stable now, and saved a bit of weight. Been meaning to do this for a while and it worked out great. No before pic but I think it looks better too.
Also got a bit more done on my A pillar blinds project but I'll keep that in the other thread.

Time to sack the gardener.Your grass stripes aren't straight
Err.....yeah, this happened! Another set of rails fitted by Colin at OxfordT5, should have done this in the first place!
Not that it would have saved me a bucket of money, but showed the Mrs (who has no interest in the van, normally) and got a 'that's really nice' followed by a 'what else are WE doing'.........

Is that a pattern or shadows ?
Shadows m'Lord
I can see why you asked - that looked like some crazy navy-blue swoosh at first glance!
