Hi all new years resolution will reduce complaining about VW so as not to upset some , [well maybe only if its serious] . Any way work on the new van is under way will post some photos later to show the work in progress . Still waiting for the suspension kit and cruise control from the UK , picked the wrong time of year to get stuff from overseas Doh . So far cut and fitted fixed glass all around off to tint next weekend , stripped inside and fitted sound deadner to all outer surfaces . Will not make same mistake as I did with the last one each pillar on this one has been sealed with expander foam , if not diesel fumes and brake dust permeates through the body and comes out through the hood trim and sides etc .
Ply floor is down and the wheel chair restraints are being mounted along with seat belt anchor points , we have decided to do a different layout from the old one the kids wheel chairs are being mounted side by side just behind the front seats . The old one we had the chairs one behind the other and it was always a struggle to attach straps and give enough leg room . This time they have plenty of room as we are going to mount the seats courtesy {Camden GTI}behind the chairs with removable locking fittings , this will mean we do not have to have the extra seats in all the time like last time . Have pre fitted drain tubes and wiring for sunroof , new head unit fitted with reverse camera and rear parking sensors {wifes} request , the new unit has GPS plays DVD,s etc plus has USB Dongle which you insert SIM card and then can use head unit for Internet etc when parked . Have eye on some nice alloys might have to wait until we sell the old beast first , have some friends working on some graphics for the sides as its a white van and just needs a little something to make it recognizable from others . Stay tuned .
