@ DeanWhit yeah I suppose putting all that horsepower and weight into an old chassis would cause a few issues. I bet none of them were daily drivers

Ordered a clutch switch, checked the powersteering and brake fluid and topped up the washers.
Got to check tyre pressure in a while once tesco starts to become less busy.
Was rammed earlier on

Haven’t used it for a week so just gave it a good 60 mile run up the motorway. I always forget how much I enjoy driving it.

Purchase of a decommissioned Golf 5 gti steering wheel.
I will remove the leather and mold the structure of the hoop in order to reproduce it on a Golf 7 steering wheel.

Looks like a nice van you’ve picked up there @Damo2k. What are your plans for this one?

No pictures, but I got the raging hump with mine, after the windscreen cracked, for no apparent bloody reason at all….!

This will be the fourth poxy windscreen since I’ve had it

Got the floor almost finished (just need to screw it down), fitted the Van-X cab divider and barn door curtains. I'm quite pleased with them, just need to fit a couple of extra press studs to the cab divider curtain so it'll stay up in the corners and be totally "light-tight". Tomorrow I'll carpet and re-fit the wheel arch boxes.

And bit the bullet early and ordered a MFSW. I was going to wait until the New Year but I got slightly over excited :lol:
