These looks great, is it easy enough to swap out the LED?
Cheers,

Finally managed to get the fuel pipe through the tunnel

Used it to pull the pump loom and split tube protection through.

Fitted everything in place and seems to fit.

Do some electrical testing tomorrow ...

Putting back the front bumper after fitting Webasto.

Before I did I fitted a honeycomb mesh to hide the silvery radiator from view

I also (finally) fitted my old Blaupunkt Titanium Dome Tweeters from my old 1982 speakers !
They just sound so great I have moved them to each new car in turn - Jetta 82, Jetta 89, T4 2002, Caddy 2018

What did you do to your van today?

Couple of before and afters on a recent purchase.

I bought the van not in the best shape but it had a strong engine, although fairly high miles it drives like new.

Before

Image
Image

NowImage

Image
Image

Mods done
18” smoothies
Respray and new front bumper
Rebuilt headlights, black inserts and halos fitted which are wired into ignition to work as drl
Mk4 rear light conversion
Carpeted the rear
New number plates
Lowered on stance coilovers
New rear black vw badge

Just waiting on some new side repeaters to arrive and getting a side rail cover which I think will make it complete, but probably not Image

I done all the work apart from the paint and fitting the suspension.
