Well Saturday I done a 320 mile round trip to collect the new rear seats for my van, they fix to runners to the can be removed easily, and I can turn them around and fit them where I like,

Then on Sunday I went and brought some wood to make a start on the back of the van,

Have a look at the pics and tell me what u think,

Hello, I have now fitted the new seat runners to the floor and have put some infill wood between the rails,
This allows me to move the seat backward and forwards to where I want them, and I can turn them around if I want or remove them really easily,

I also fitted clear front indicators,

Well no real updates just waiting for my eBay stuff to turn up so I can carry on with my build,

I now have a 15” flat screen 12volt T.V.
A 15” flat screen monitor 12volt
A 12 volt free view set top box,
And my sink has turned up,

I’m still waiting on more parts to arrive, but this gives me some things to get on with for now,

Just a small update,

I’ve been out and swopped over all the parts for the side door and after a struggle I managed to fit it, I think I have the door gaps looking quite nice,

I have also made a start on my first pop up screen, it’s a 15” 12 Volt LCD TV, I have got two runners on it from B+Q, I will be fitting the KA window winders to raze and lower the TV, (PimP My Ride eat your heart out,) lol lol lol lol lol

One more thing I have now got a fold away tap for my sink,

And I have a sires 1 escort turbo arches and two set of side skirts to look at making a body kit

I have just got in from working on the van,

I have now fitted a new heater switch as the old one was melted,

And I also fitted my new clocks with a rev counter; I managed to keep my mileage by popping out the old number real from my old clocks and fitting it in to the new clocks,

I have also made a start on fitting my motor to raise and lower my TV, its getting there, just a lot to figure out, but its starting to take shape, will post pics when I get it working how I want it to,
