Hey mate, cheers its great to have an old van in a tidy, respectable conditon haha.

I used M6's (9mm). And yes I used the 8mm hole, drilled out to 9mm and then just used a cotton tip to apply some...

Cheers mate. Yes it caught my eye in the shed and thought it was a great re-purpose. I actually really rate the XTM stuff so far, I think they are great quality, both the fridge slide and drawers....

Few new additions! We have been away a few times now since my last post and have gotten really sick of lifting the fridge out, the camp box and also getting the solar panel out when needed.

First...

None! Brilliant van.

Oh righto, yea this one is a good design, my mk4 one had the yellow plastic that basically crumbled. Very fun pulling yellow plastic out of the sump!

Made a change from the mk2 rear seats to the mk3 ones. Mk3 seats required a few brackets to be installed so had to put few more rivnuts in. Then also cut up the plastic trim a...

Passenger seat in, took the metal frame base from the mk2 seats, took the foam base with cover from the VR6 seat and swapped them over so the VR6 seats can be fitted in the mk2....

Had a big last couple of days. I'll start with recovering the head liner with dad, which worked out great! Remembering that this roof liner is a mixmatch of the 2 and 4 door...

Thanks again, yea I was a bit annoyed it wasn't black for a while but now I'm spraying the car a blue colour, actually works out pretty good.

Plugging away on the interior. Had my first misfit from interior and that was for the gear stick surround, you can see from the bracket I made that the dash is too close to the...

Cheers, as controversial as it is, definitely built to go in the mk2!

Small update, dash is back in for good. Had to fibreglass the drivers side air duct as it was hitting the bulkhead. Now just plugging all the dash components back in, no issues...

I have been looking for a cheap way to install a roof basket and ended up making my own mounts. I bought 2nd hand roof basket and bought mounts/tracks just from hardware store, using T extrusions and...

I don't see any problems, nothing really in the way on the drivers side considering you will run the airbox on the passenger side anyways I'm assuming. Then use all your AQN hoses.

To top it all off, got some toys to finish off really all I want for the T4. 120Ah AGM deep cycle battery, fits absolutely spot on in the battery box. An Opposite Lock 150W solar panel, that just...

There is no mk4 2.0 turbo. Only 1.8t's and 1.9t diesels. Perhaps you are mistaken for a mk5!

Headlight upgrade harness installed to help with my new LED globes so that I have correct voltage at headlights. Put a new aluminium lip in on the step to hide the ply and insulation. And finally a...

It lives and it purrs. Runs the exact same way it did when I pulled it out. I've attached a video of the awesomeness!
