[redcube]

The Camper must have thought it was it birthday or something electric windows gone in and a new well second hand set of wheels for it

I bought a electric window kit on ebay.co.uk on sunday from england and it came to my home in ireland on wendesday now thats fast and i must say what a good kit well put togethere only thing is the instructions where not so good had to figur out what to do but i got it in the end now windows go up and down and i can put the passage window up and down from the driver seat
This is the kit

Here is the motors in place didn't take may pictures as it was cold and i want it done before i froze in place and i must say ford over done the drivers door card fixing point

This are the switch look like Ford made them to go there


Oh ya my wheel saw them in a scrap pile on tusday and my mate said they look like they fit And (the vans nike name) and after that i couldn't get them out of my head so i said the only way to see if they would fit was to drive up there in the van to see if they did and they did so i got 4 of them for €50 and my mate then ended up buying a one wheel trailler

electric windows look good

but that wheel looks like a discovery one - if it is its 5mm out on the pcd not safe to use the landrover holes are 14mm so the 12mm studs of the transit fit but if you look close they arent in the middle

[redcube]

Them seem to fit and are very close but i need to have a better look at them

[dirtydiesel]

Its got esb windows and a sunshine roof boss!! your doing a nice job on her,

[redcube]

Don't forget the scrap pile boss

Poting in out all day and night cleaning the camper van for the weekend and i have it done with the help of my mate again well i wash it and used some back to black on the gray trim cleaned all the glass and put on a seat covers on the seat to keep them clean cleaned the dash too no more stuff on the remove all the tool from the back so van is shine inside and out looks better too

Also i gave it an oil change
Tomorrow task is fix the handbrake needs adjusting i wonder how i do that ah well i'll found out in the morning also i'm going to fix my faded right hand roof lights that are red and white but have faded white a bit of nail varnish will fix that

[redcube]

Well i have been quiet for a bit as i'm trying to get the camper cleared so it time to get all the little jobs done so i fix and cleaned the cooker and then raid the bargain bins at the diy store and i got some damged stock flooring loads to do the van and loads left over and 4 tins of paint for the cubords 2 cool voilet and 2 moring frost more like white but i don't care also i fixed my side roof light i got some new lens as one fell apart on me and i had to by a new tyre as my front left tyre blew of going down the motor way hit a bit of metal on the motor way and then saw my tyre take of i was in the fast lane doing about 65mph when i happened wasn't funny had to change my pants after that one

Jobs left to do now is the water and main hook up electrics geting there slowly but i will have it cleared by April

Oh and i have now at long last got breaks that stop the van and the handbreak is now holding the van

Another item in the collection its my mate caravan now the place is starting to look like a travelers yard as for some odd reason i think this may end up in my shed ok so i have one car out side which the dog is tied to a pile of scrap 4 cars in shed my van my mate van when he comes down and the other two car up front now all i need is a mobile home out back and i'm sorted

Well here the caravan and yes it a VW with a lime green boot he bought it like that and i must say it suits the van

Great job redcube, for a Banner man! Only joking! Lovely work. I'm almost there myself with my own high top transit. One regret i have is i didnt take photos along the way. Fair play you did a great job. How did the 240v connections work out for you? I'm about to do that myself to my own van. Any tips?

[redcube]

I'm just finishing of my 240V the only tip i can give is leave loads of cable at the end where your plugs are going

[redcube]

A nice new alternator well secondhand as been fitted though it was out of a MK3 (Loads of parts on the van) and need a bit of a hammering to get to sit right but its in and a new vacuum pump to as i had one for some odd reason.
