Got my shinny be heated screen fitted and some new pillar clips too!

Means I don't have to drive below 50mph now

How much wiring did you need to do for the Heated Screen Was anything there already

[Punto443]

Ill do a wee run through what I done when I get home, but it was pretty easy and I had no existing wiring at all

[Altransit]

I would love to have one in the MK6, and the screen does have a crack in it

Ok, i had given up on the idea of fitting because it looked like a lot of hassle! but on one of my scavenging hunts i got a complete dash loom and relays for £15. I tried swapping this but it was damaged! C/l faults and instrumentation

So I unpicked the heated screen wiring.

All I had in the existing van was the two 40a fuses in the engine bay, not even the pillar wiring was there.

The two 40a were live and ran back to the main plug between engine and dash, so I took the connector apart and slotted in the two feeds to the dash fuse board( there was two empty relay ports on this)

And I transferred the wires one by one, the switch wire was run back the the dash and the illumination and earth wires spliced into the the mirror switch as it had been on the original loom.

The heavy cables were run to each corner and the earths connected to the existing points at each wheel arch, then the pillar wiring dropped down to connect to the wheel arches
I robbed the switch power from the rear wiper motor relay( unused and the correct amp) this is the only wore that was not factory like and the switch earths at the relay were spliced into the other relay earths under the fuse box as per original.

Lastly the other side of the 5amp fuse was clicked into the dash fuse box and a fuse popped in, as per the original.

All taped back to the original loom and looking as good as new

Then £175+vat for the screen fully fitted by euro windscreens( I was quite surprise at how cheap it was, considering it was £115 for a standard one) and my excess was going to be £100 if I'd claimed!

All in all up and running for around £230! And I needed a screen any way so I could say only about £100 for the heated

Thank you Morgan

Now that the bodywork is tided up and my screens fitted what shall I do now

Thoughts running through my head inc.

Aircon
Black wheels
Remap
External speakers for when I'm working out side
Painted grill
Sport kit( bit pricey! And I hate body work )
Tailgate conversion
Crewcab
Heated seats (maybe not in this heat wave)

Or I could just drive it for a while

Alloy slot mags, proper Starskey & Hutch then

[Punto443]

[Punto443]

Grill fitted, just needs a good clean and polish

I'm still amazed it was around this long!
Still lots of it lives on in your van

Decided to crewcab the back, with 2 seats and a staggered bulkhead. So went the breakers for some parts and ideas

Picked up seats with built in belts

[Punto443]

Got a bit done over the last few days

Bulkhead formed

Head cloth fitted

And a bit of trimming

That glue is some fragrant stuff, head was spinning for ages
