You've drilled holes to fasten the toolbox down?
It will rust like a rusty thing get some red lead on it quick
I'm going to hand paint billys undercarriage with red oxide then stone chip next week
It's beyond a quick squirt of stonechip now
Rusty rusty
I thought he might keep a bit better than the lime did with not going through a river everyday
But he hasn't

No the floor is full of holes from the hilti it's like a fooking t bag there holes for nuts and bolts and there's also rivnuts all over so I've just put the bolts in either side of the toolbox and there's strap hook things from hilti that I've ratchet strapped too.

The flooring is some kind of composite stuff and is sealed around the edges, I should really remove it and seal the holes but I'm tempted to try and buy some rubber grommets to just push up from underneath with some sealant in.
The van won't pass these new mot anyway I'm sure so I'll need to buy a new 1 :lol:

Front speakers all mounted wired in and the doors fitted with plenty of sound deadening the new speaker on the right should sound a lot better

Today I sanded the texture off the mirrors and small panel in front of it and gave them a coat of black basecoat and a nice gloss with clear coat

My left mirror was making a squeak or catching noise when operated, I thought it was the bjt overuse curse but ice lubed it up and it is quiet again :-)

Also I was diving on the autobanned today and my speedo showed the driver door open on the van picture display. But the door was shut :? The custom is just a tarted up trampy mk7 really isn't it :cry: but a key cycle has got rid of it.
