My latest van.mk5 swb semi high top.

[jay]

Well after my mk6 troubles now got a mk5 swb semi high top...
needs 1 or 2 minor things(well if you call prop bearing minor)










70ps engine already had torque screw mod as well as pipe return mod..


The worst arch..the others are much better.



and the reason it sits so high is because it has 190 rear springs by the looks of it fitted(3 leaf) will have proper 120 springs on it soon..

Looks like a good base to start from matey. Loving The E Type style front number plate

I bet that was a bargain knowing you jay
Did you sell on your mk6 then

[jay]

front plate is being changed for a proper one...yes was a bargain andy.my mk6 tourneo went a few weeks ago for twice what i paid for it..

[transitandy]

A good result all round then m8

Not bad looking. Better than most these days
Twin armrests too a nice touch.

and they both work..PAS as well which dont judder..no electric windows so had to relearn how they operate same goes for locking and unlocking had to relearn how to use a key in the door locks which reminds me rear door lock dont work and the pats has been demobilised in the usual way of key under the shroud...Goes well as will accelerate uphill in 5th gear and no juddr from the clutch when pulling away(A transit first I think)

A few more bits done over the weekend..
GLX door cards along with electric windows.

the door pocket has been fitted since as well.Also I got a glx fluffy type carpet along with the seat belt base covering things..and the 2 marks are just where already there but since giving them a clean both have almost gone..
and I got this.

No Not the plastic pen thing(I did get that as well as mine was missing)But look carefully and you can see the heater box cover,Easy to fit as well as the brackets screw into holes already drilled in existing heater box.

sbs spares at hadleigh road ipswich..they got 2 tourneos both with 4.11 axles 1 is a glx(the 1 I robbed of bits) the other I think was a trim below glx as door cards were vinyl...

[jay]

fitted the rear springs today..what a mission that was...

the right hand spring is the proper ones for the van and the left one is the ones removed from it..the curve is much more on the removed ones as well as being slightly shorter,ride is much more improved as well as it bounced a bit beforehand and now glides over bumps..

sits more leval now..compared to before.


drivers side card as well with the pocket fitted.

[transitandy]

Them door cards do look smart and it sits much better now
