Test fit of the new custom ply panel from plyworx for my IKEA blind project.
Coming along nicely.
Needs the suede trim adding now.

Also fitted some chrome/slot centre caps to my steels.

How long did it take? Did you the whole wash/decontamination etc and nail it over a couple of days?

Yea all the stages etc, took 5 hours to do 1 side and rear so too much for me in 1 day, doing the rest tomoz

The panel itself was £65.
Thank you.

Bought a cheap steering wheel cover kit off ebay for £20... difficult to get perfect but OK for a first attempt!
I know I'll end up shelling out £250 for a proper wheel eventually.

Wrapping... first time, much easier to work with than I thought, but took two hours

Fitted Rusty Lee swivel to the passenger seat and installed wind deflectors in the warm weather.
Have to say customer service from Rusty Lee was spot on. Rang them to discuss a few things and pick their brains on the drivers handbrake (that will be next job) and they were great. order also turned up when they said and its a solid piece of kit!

Hey @david173,

Do you find the swivel seat difficult to turn a mine takes some brute force to swivel?

Satisfying though?

Hey @david173,

It is quite stiff but i just put that down to being new. I suppose it needs to be to avoid any rattles. Feel nice and solid though and ill probably but some silicon grease to make it easier to turn. Really pleased with it though.

Only thing I didn't realise was how sloped the van floor is, the seat feels really high when facing backwards. But dont want a lower base unit as will want a leisure battery or sub under it when I have saved up!

Will this ever end 4 1/2 years in and still pulling it apart

New wheels on today. Very happy but think I need the coil overs dropping down another 20-25mm.
