What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Got them from Vee Dub Transporters, really quick delivery. The fitting guides were a bit rubbish and it took a bit of working out which bracket went where, but easy enough to fit and look like they will be sturdy.


Will obviously look a lot better when i get rid of the PovSpec wheels.

" A bit rubbish" is understatement of the year!
 
Busy day fitting parts collected over the last few weeks.
Front splitter fitted.

Genuine Vw sportline spoiler. I’ve fixed it with speedbond but it’s to hard to know if I’ve used enough. Don’t want it flying off on the motorway.

Filled it with diesel (working from home so not put any fuel in since early December :whistle: ) then went for a blast up the dual carriageway, then came back indoors to continue researching wheels and suspension because I hate these Claytons :rolleyes:
 
Hi Niknak
I’m considering doing this. Are you just in-filling at the front of the join or doing some fancy forming?
Doing it the hard way lol left it long on the side and front to join back I’ve cut all the original strengthening out first to alter and fit back to the seat as it was, I would not advise lopping the bottom off and rewelding, as if you look at the front there is a brace that juts down it’s obviously engineered to transfer force to the floor
 
Not just today, but over the last week or so.... replaced the Auxiliary belt and tensioner to get rid of the irritating squeaks, fitted carbon fibre grill trims (to cover up the previous red), fitted new mud flaps that look like they will actually do a much better job than the genuine VW shite things, removed my chrome sidebars, had tyres fitted to my new banded steels, fitted the wheels, then gave him a bath! :thumbsup:
