What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Assigned my personalised reg, fitted the plates and had a Pendle remap done (& declared it all to my insurance company!).
 
Dropped the fuel tank for the second time in two days. I am fitting a Planar heater and yesterday dropped the fuel tank to fit stand pipe in sender unit, refitted tank in place then overnight had an awful thought ,did i push the lock down on the electrical connector as i couldnt remember doing it, couldnt see when tank in situ and didnt want it coming loose on a bumpy road miles from anywhere so for peace of mind had to check. Dropped tank again this morning only to discover I had locked it down. After a good dose of aussie swearing refitted the tank again. Must be more attentive in future.

We all do that moment thing....did i..did I....then oh sh*t got to recheck it all again ..so ur in good company ;)
 
Yes but annoying and a waste of time doing it twice but couldnt have left it without checking, better at my place with all the tools than being helpless up some dirt track.
 
I managed to fit my homemade Halo roof. 6mm ply with 12mm spacer isn't particularly heavy but was quite a challenge on my own!
I'll knock up the finishing strip tomorrow but am waiting for the Suedeliner to cover the main panel.
I also fitted Sportscraft swivels which are nice and solid but I cant say I'm too impressed with the handbrake bracket. The cable is too far offset from the channel in the lever so I think a modified original mount will need fabricating in the not too distant future.

Nice roof :thumbsup:
 
Had some lengths of timber kicking around and some spare carpet from lining the van out last week.

Thoughts i'd see if I could make a cheap take on a Kombi bed.

Got some tidying up to do underneath of the folding panel and perhaps sheet and carpet the frame but it makes a nice parcel shelf if nothing else.
