Really cool video there. Like the music.
Spotted you have parcel shelf under dash, is it the Bambus type or home made?
I am in the process of making my own, or trying at least, do you have pic's of the install?

Cheers, one cool van.

Plasterers mesh that sounds like a good idea, I may have a go at making one. Great dog, good taste in music

 

[Grazy]

Thanks mate , Like a bit of Drum and Bass I do

 

[gas1man]

Plaster's mesh sounds like a great idea. I will see how the radiator cover mesh works out first.
Thanks for the reply.

OK , So been over a year since my last update not an awful lot has happened but will just try and round up what has changed since January 2015 .

in February 2015 i slipped a disc in my back and my ****** boss dropped my wages by 25% so it looked like the Panel van would be on its way to a new home as money was tight .
A few things were sold and the purse strings were kept tight and we managed to keep hold of the van ,
The back is now much better and I am working for a new company on a better wage so all good

I have alway ran a stock exhaust on my engine and as I have no plans to upgrade the engine i thought I would invest in a stainless steel version of the stock part , I ended up getting mine from VW Heritage as the TWO I was sent from GSF were absolute ***** !!

I previously had some red Wolfsburg West seatbelts in the van but these didnt match my recent interior so i contacted a guy called Steve Perkul at http://www.seatbeltplanet.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ,who's customer service is second to none .

Here is what i got

 

[Grazy]

I got the Appliance Pacer wheels a few years ago , and they are starting to show their age so a freshen up was in order

So they were sent off to Aerocoat in Great Yarmouth to be blasted and powder coated Black Chrome

The wheels look almost black in some lights and near chrome in others , I like them

 

[Grazy]

I got an MOT on the van recently so was all set to head to Volksworld show on Saturday

Unfortunatley since fitting the wheels , some nuts on the rear nearside wheel came loose ending up with me stranded at the side of the A12 with no bolts and a loose wheel


PLEASE EVERYONE CHECK YOUR NUTS REGULARLY

especially if you have newly powder coated rims

 

[flynster]

love the upgrades bruv ....bummer about the nuts coming loose :|
