well i'd not done much to my van for a bit, but found the xclusive body kit for a god price a month or so ago... so I sent her in for a make over and I think she's looking HOT!
she should be ready to come home from SGR body works Nottingham this afternoon or tomorrow, however Stephan sent me some preview pics and I just can't keep em to myself, more pics when she's home

Few goodies turned up yesterday! New ply floor (mines rotten) 4way stretch carpet, sound deadening and a rubber mat! Just got to figure out what insulation to go for.

I’m carpeting over the ply so should be an easy job

Edited all of my posts with images and removed the Photobucket links. It took about an hour. What I did to make it easier was to download all of the images from Photobucket (one by one, it's a bit tedious, but it's quite quick), then I did an advanced search on here with 'photobucket' as the search term, my user id as the user and 'posts' to list all of them. I uploaded all of the images from photobucket to my own hosting, so all I needed to do was go through and edit the photobucket part of the URL in each post and change it to my hosting (image names remained the same).

Did you get the ply floor pre-cut? if so, where from? I need to line mine out ASAP but I've really not got the time to start from scratch. I used to convert T5s for a living so I have templates for them, but nothing for a caddy.

Yeh I got it through eBay. £65 delivered! It’s expensive but I couldn’t be assed cutting ply and buying a jig saw. Also eBay we’re doing 10% at the time of buying.

No, not available in South Africa (not fitted on any models here) and I don't care enough for the feature to upgrade door modules, mirror switches etc.

Changed the roll bar links and the front bushes at the rear of the control arm. Went well until the last bolt that sheared off! Ended up drilling and re tapping it but all good now
