Cover everything but the left and right hand drains and the air inlet grill
Who did you buy your insulation from @jimc91
I can’t remember where I bought the silent coat, I’ve had some left over from previous sound proofing. I’m also adding some 20mm sound proofing foam from Amazon
I received some images of the van mid-conversion today. We are really pleased with the two tone paint job and hope to pop down this afternoon to see progress in real life. Interior is going in next week. not long to go now.
Very exciting stuff. Do you know what brand pop top you are getting fitted?
It looks like a Hilo/Horizon to me.
Yes, its a Horizon Sport Kit. We were going to go for a cheaper one but having seen this on another van they were converting we decided to splash out.
Yeah, not cheap. I think much of the cost is in the replacement step with the bottom rail built in. The ones for flat sided vans (not curved like a Transporter) are much cheaper.
We’ve ummed & ahhd for a couple of years about buying one. Every time we’re sat on a site battling mozzies & flys, we say we’re definitely going to get one when we get home. Then I see the price & balk, this year in a damp warm Italy was the final straw.
Not today but yesterday.
I removed the chrome TRANSPORTER lettering and the 4 motion badge
And replaced with the black version.
However, the red in the 4 mo badge is nothing like the TDi so the TDi badges might have to go, or be painted black and red to match.
And my replacement black VW badge hasn’t arrived yet.

Nice work. Looking good. Where did you purchased the dash part
From eBay, the seller had bought it to retro fit to his van but changed his mind when he realised you have to chop the dash
It’ll be so quiet you’ll think the engine has stalled.
Seriously if you do all of the cab insulation and sound deadening you’ll find yourself looking at the rev counter a lot more often.

Where did you get it done?
Fitted this rail recently. Then hated myself because of the visible screws.
So today I cut my units up and fitted it the same way (I think) as Ecowagon do it.
Clean lines with no visible fixings.
Full length rail to work with the sliding bed. I trimmed the Evo table down to fit in line with the cabinets. It’s narrow but fine for our usage.

Also fitted a waterproof switch for the pump. Not a fan of switch panels so it’s hidden in the sink area.
Looks amazing, you can come fit my kitchen
