Not sure yet!!! Its a bit of a process of elimination. The road and the engine both make noise, just trying to reduce it so you dont feel suicidal after 30 mins

I thought id run it under the rubber mats in the cab and see what it achieves first, then might consider the door linings but not sure yet

Cule, fanks, watched a youtube on something similar and they overlapped about 100 mm to be sure. Not sure how far i can get it under the dash...in true puk fashion i found that the dash was meant to be bolted at the back of the glove box but yet again there werent any fitted...

Found a few more screws missing, broken or just loose in the dash and have stopped rattles. Feedback on wing mirrors meant theses babies went on tonight...was so reluctant to drill holes in wings but these just fit over the ones left by the chromiesImageImage

And very excited for tomorrow, fingers crossed for a mobilevanman, new front gas shocks and a weber carb in place! Finally it will mean that all the complicatedforjon stuff will be done and can learnt a bit more about what i have to manage to do over the winter to keep her ticking over!

Hoping to sand, treat and fill some rust over the season and then consider how to get her painted in the spring. Looking at some other peoples progress on here, i feel completely inept...but hey...i gat a camper, i got a camper and i've always wanted one ( that bit was sung)

Have checked the bay, currently have a couple of really tinny tinys screwed to the end of the benchs behind the front seats, not really man enough for the job...starting to get a little paranoid about buying stuff that isnt new on there as have been caught out a couple of times now...fanks for the feed about the mirrors too:)
