Been over to the van today and my mate who will eventually be spraying the thing for me has been busy smoothing and shaping the dash, I spent the afternoon sorting the wiring and having a tidy up. Anyway I will let the pictures tell you where we are up to







Still needs a bit more shaping but once thats done and the tailgate finished of it should be time to start painting

The little one's been poorly today so didn't spend as much time at Nicks as I would have liked and had to pick her up from nursery early. Anyway took the seat base over and cut the consul to the desired length and then made an infill up that will bring the consul in to seat, still needs shaping but you get the idea

[jetta16v]

still an amazing job you've done

Quick update .Still preparing the van to get it painted,making good and removing old paint but being held up with not feeling to good due to a virus that I can't see to shake.

Been given the switch's for the lights etc some thought. First of all I thought about using a B5 light switch as that has the foglight switch built in to it and then I got a Merc 123 series switch as this also has the foglight switch built in to it. Then there was where do I mount it, Merc and B5 switch need plent of space behind them soit meant they would have to go in the dash and I don't want anything in the dash except the Volvo speedo which at present is being recalibrated. Anyway it's all gone full circle and I'm now going to use the original switch's so that they match the window switch's etc.


Will get this panel covered to match the seat
