Partial update.
The van has been cleaned out and no longer smells like mould and dirt and pi** etc. It's not perfect but it is far better. I took some photos along the way but probably not enough but still not at the finished product.
- Van was cleaned externally. Pre wash, brushes around sills etc, snow foam, 2 bucket, wheels & glass.
- Ex company sticker regarding no tool left inside etc removed
- Ford badge residue removed
- Connect badge residue and half a badge removed. (Transit badge currently remains but doors are going to be replaced)
- Headlights restored
- Plastics removed and cleaned with degreaser and apc & brushes
- Van rear floor hoovered, swept, degreased, apc & brushed etc.
- Footwells & seat bases cleaned
- MK6 Fiesta ST steering wheel fitted (Airbag hiccup, more on that)
- MK2 Focus ST seats wet vacced
- MK1 focus carpet deep hoovered
- Dash cleaned somewhat removing all gunk and smells including grimey vents
- Door cards wiped down, will return to these soon
Anyway some photos.
Seats being wet vacced (no upclose detail shots sorry)
Interior cleaning
Headlights being restored.
Carpet being hoovered and drilled to agitate the deep sunk dirt
I would still like to have more work done in the rear when time allows but in the time frame we worked to it is far better!
With the steering wheel, the MK6 Fiesta airbag loom plugs straight in but the wiring is different so it brings up a fault code. Great. Going to cahnge the covers over and have the new cover on the old airbag and have the code cleared then.
The seats were cleaned and dried and ready to be fitted upon noticing the drivers seat base had broken underneath so it has had to be welded and actually looks stronger now that I imagine it would have been from factory but I have no idea! So I am currently driving around with 1 original seat in .
And look what got welded on as a joke :rolleyes:
Anyway I never actually took any photos of the van clean, by the time all the work was finished it was dark and raining, SHOCK. Once the seats are in and all the plastics are back in I will get photos. The carpet is in but not yet complete.
I have just purchased and exhaust system from Euros and SEVEN exhaust rubbers from Ford. They are all hanging under there so thought may aswell replace them all. It is banging around in the back now badly.
More updates soon.
