Cheers, On lates next week so van will be standing. Think ill spray injectors a couple of times a day to see if they will come out without the fuss that some members have had. Ill get some copper washers from Ford and not off ebay like some tight gits. :P :P

Anyone got the injector torque/ sequence ??? and any top tips for doing the job.

Yep! Stockport to Chesterfield, Still loads of snow up there, Take it from all the speed cameras and "Slow bike" signs that its a dangerous road.

Patience there Mr belly.

We cant all be advertising moguls jet setting off to northen Europe :? to pick up their latest top of the range fleet vehicle and stopping off for a top level power storm meeting with another member of the 200 club (aka, The photo whore) Some of us have to go out and do a hard days work to try and make ends meet. :P :P

I will try and get some pics up over the weekend if the weather picks up.
Back to work now. TTFN :wink:

Right, Here a couple of pics of the progress so far.

The idea is to be able to use the van as a van :oops: :oops: and use as a day/camper van to go down the beach, walks and the odd night camping.
Image


Graphics should look ok after I fit the windows to the side door.
Image

Laminate floor, insulation and carpet fitted.
Image
Seat base
Image
Got my sewing kit out to make some cushions. :oops: :oops: :oops: :roll:
Cupboard on side and skim board table to blend in with the vw crowd.Dude. :lol: Image

Image
Rear cupboard to hold stuff and will eventually have hob and sink fitted.
Image
Mattress fitted for my little girl to sleep.
Image
The cupboard is held down by the strap to make it easy to remove.
Thats it up to now, Any thoughts or comments.

Graphics off ebay, £35 and come in lots of different colours.

Not to bad a job fitting the first side but trying to copy the design on the other side was a bit of a pain.
