Cut the three middle posts off an old full width rear threshold to use the polystyrene from the stock narrow one to bridge to the raised floor.

Randomly found I had inherited four blanking plugs with the caravelle stuff, but still need two more. Prioritised the side that we open more!

there's rear threshold plugs on fleabay = £8.00

@Tombs. Where did you get the 'Transporter' logos please? I was going to say 'decals' but they look a bit more solid than that.

 

[Ayjay]

@Tombs. Just realised you've got a T6.1 - I wonder if they would also fit a 6?

Any errors or coding needed, or a straight swap?

They came with the Van, standard on all the 6.1's I believe.

Nothing needed, all good, really easy swap to.

More insulation ready for the carpet to go in tomorrow!


Quick question, which way round does the carpet go? There's a very fluffy side and a less fluffy flatter side. Which side gets the glue?

I feel like an idiot for asking that, bit I really don't want to mess things up at this stage!

It’s not a daft question, I can’t remember but someone on here will, you definitely don’t want to put it on the wrong way round so don’t guess

Big day.

Dead mat duo laid down in the cab. 7mm thick. Hoping it’s not hard to get the rubber floor fitted over top!

Started wiring up the westfalia tow bar. Proving tougher than I thought.

Learned that I’m sh*t at soldering… getting my heated seat wiring situation sorted.

Bloody rain slowing me down. :/

Fluffy side is the side you see/outside face. Adhesive goes on the less fluffy flatter side

Now onto fitting the furniture still a fair way to go but this feels like a decent step along the way.

Trying to squeeze every ounce of storage out of the van by mocking up some different size boxes.
