Wow, that's some stubborn paint pen!
I'll have to check the graffiti remover we have at work, see if it's likely to melt the plastic. It'll definitely take off the paint but who knows the condition of your plastic after.

Thanks! Still have a couple of bits left of it for something. It was one of those back of seat things you can get.

Paint pen, try some IPA on a cotton swab or something like that, usually shifts them, if not acetone but careful with the latter it may melt the plastic.

I use cleaningwipes from a bucket for those kind of ink, they sell them at the hardware store.
Always try at a spot out of sight before going at it 😀

Hooked in the power for the rear of the van so I also now have a working subwoofer which is very weird being sat on top of it. whopping 120W but feels like its a lot more.

Got most of the 12v wired in, at least the base components. Found a nice earth point in the rear of the van which saved drilling one myself.

Did a bunch of sound deadening and insulation too, and test fitted some panels. Back of it is slowly getting there.

After years of saying I will get one, I finally found a titan black caddy armrest, came from Spain, spent most of the afternoon getting it in, with lots of help from the how-to!
What a difference from the armster aftermarket one Iv had in for a few years! ImageImage
