Re: What did you do to your van today?
@Lockstock Thanks mate, it's been a long and stressful process getting all bodywork as good as it can be, having delay after delay on every step.
Seen it first time in the flesh today and I was literally speechless.
Its still not registering in my head it's my van!
Few weeks away from being complete,
Have to be driving around with a grill-less bumper for a few weeks until I can get them gloss black but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now

Re: What did you do to your van today?
@Simon_B Iv always loved red caddys, but the cost a respray is just madness, so this felt like the best option. I only went in to wrap a grill originally!!!!

Removed the blackout "sticker" from the rear windows. I was expecting this to be an absolute pig to get out, but it was surprisingly easy and didn't leave much residue on the windows.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I changed #3 injector. It was well a bit stuck, so ended up getting a couple of mm with WD40 but wouldn’t lift at all. So I ended up with a six foot pry bar…
It worked, and the Caddy is running well again.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I made a few upgrades this weekend.
Fitted some Audi A5 17” wheels to clear my recently fitted Audi TT/r32 front brakes.

The et is low and the sliding door just opens but think it looks decent enough and they were cheap!
