What did you do to your van today?

Now that my leaks are sorted I finally got around to stripping all of the rust from the floor pan behind the passenger seat. I was surprised by how deep the pitting was in some places. I stripped all visible rust using clean and strip discs and wire brushes then treated it all with kurust, before painting in two layers of rust inhibiting primer. I'll topcoat in a couple of layers of LL7E Flannel Grey this week now that the evenings are bright again.

Not done it yet but picking up some Saab 9000 seats today, not sure if/how they will fit but i remember them being soooo comfy when i sat in one as a kid.

Velour too which is my preferred fabric.

Oh and £20 for a full set helped me take the gamble

Ill update with pics of the success or just me crying.

Update: after a couple of quiet nights at work, they did fit after a bit of fettling.

Can't work out how to post pics though...

Moulded wheel arc panels in polyester resin and fibreglass. Then reupholstered them in the same Alcantara fabric as every other panel. It has never been so close to be “finished” before.

But, starting to think that I might sell it. The 1,6 TDI hasn’t been that reliable as one could hope for. And going for long trips in a car that might break down in the worst possible situations isn’t as relaxing as a vacation should be.

You need the app Tapatalk to post pics. Please post, I’m very curious on how the Saab seats fit in a Caddy!
