Nothing. I made a bit of a joke post about someone then after reading another I thought it inappropriate so I deleted it.

Today I fitted a hatch in the bulkhead so I can fit my vinyl in straight with the fron seat folded down. I also fitted some really bright LED lights in the back so I can see my tools properly on them late nights at work. I also gave the van a service, changed the glow plugs and fitted a EGR blank off. 8)

Project Connect 2004 Update

Well didnt really do anything as such but got my MK2 heater control panel and was surprised to find it come with switches, yes it had switches :shock: so that saved me some money, so £30 well spent I would say, only need to spray it brushed silver now :D

Lovin some of these vans can't wait to get started on mine quick question what's the best way to upgrade the sound ie use better oem parts like the gen 2 Sony or use my Jvc head unit and a sub with some components or 6x9's I'm a self employed electrician and my can is full of kit and used everyday

The design of the stereo is up to your own taste really, most people use OEM parts and some dont, i like the look of the sony gen 2 but some have fabricated i-pods the fit and use as a DVD/sat-nav, if you have the stereo and stuff alredy then you might as well use it and then over time chop and change to see where it leads.

The best thing to do is see where the project connect modifying bug takes you fella :D :D

Cheers for the reply willywonker007 I have a 2005 (believe its a mk1) t200 swb I'm wanting to possible change to something newer I have an iPhone now but will be hanging to n droid which I will also use as sat nav, I have a JVC with Bluetooth hands free but people complain it sound like I'm in a tunnel or under water when I use it so not sure what to do just like the way everything inter-grates ie listen to radio sat nav talks over the radio if phone rings radio auto stops and answers phone any ideas??? And if so what parts ill needs and where to get them from also I've looked but can't seem to find what focus air box do I need to do the air box conversion I've ordered the egr blank and will be fitted when it arrives

Got asked to put my Van on show at Goodwood in June in the Mequires VIP section. Bizarre, but pretty cool :)
