What I did to my van today was... not drive it. The first time since the start of December that I have jumped in the car to go to work! After 6 weeks of driving the van my 140 feels sooo small! But also very fast!

Been busy on the van lately. Mods include Touran front and rear carpets, sound deadening the cab, Golf R seats plus heat loom, Climatic panel and sensors, ASR off button, under seat sub, W8 light, Touran armrest including vent ducting and 12v socket, extra 12v socket in the rear of the van, heated fan washer jets and mirror puddle lights.

I think that's it for now

Got cracking on my new to me van this week. Fitted/swapped out:
Cadiz alloys from Golf R
Bilstein B14 lowering kit
MK7 Golf R front brake set (calipers, discs & EBC yellowstuff pads)
Touran rubber mat set
Genuine F+R mudflap set.
Ecotune Stage 1 remap
Osram H4 LED headlamp bulbs

Carried out full service inc brake fluid & gearbox oil
Cleaned out all debris from behind arch liners and washed/blew out.
Hoovered/blew out leaf debris etc from scuttle area while doing suspension.
Stripped out load floor phenolic ply ready for repainting with epoxy
Washed out floor pan.
Removed barn door security plates, cleaned and reinstalled with colour coded rivets as screws were not tight/secure.

Next week (if I get time?):
Clutch kit
Timing belt kit + water pump
Instal load area ply with long rivets
Polo multifunction steering wheel
Life mirrors
Make new arch liners in phenolic ply
Strip out std front seats and wash floor pans/rubber soundproofing.
Run sub/amp wiring + heated seat loom
Instal heated MK4 Caddy seats
Upgrade front speakers with Focal
Instal Focal amp/sub unit
4 wheel alignment just to be sure.

And breathe!

Thing that's been on the list for years has been checked off

Got my clutch kit in today along with gearbox oil change.

Ply lining on floor is now riveted back down.

Fitted the mk6 Golf under tray.

Front seats are out and floors/load bulkhead washed with flash floor cleaner. Smells really fresh!!
MK4 heated seat fitted to o/s/f and waiting for kufatec loom to arrive.

Base coated mirror cappings in gloss black before leaving work this evening.

Making progress!

Changed the rear antiroll bar bushes, five minute job one side ,half hour for the other after the fastening sheared off. Welded a nut on the bit that poked out on the other side and wound the broken bit on through. Luckily in the bottom of my spanner box was a vw bolt from a service kit that could be shortened to suit.
The annoying rattle that sounded like a loose floor has gone

Can I know name of the wheels and the specs of them? They look amazing

I initially painted original boot badge in all black and it bugged me from the moment I stuck it on. So, in a moment of devine inspiration, I noticed a slimmer, curvier badge on a newer VW only this time I've gone for the 2 tone and I'm so glad I did
