Ady's van diary

[ady347]

God it looks worse in the day lol. I don't know if it's classed as beige or cream, the cream accesories I've been looking at seems lighter.

But the seats look lighter in this pic I took than it really is.

I wondered if I got?

Matching leatherette gearstick and handbrake gators,
door card cloth part cover with beige leatherette, or half leatherette half suede?
Roof lining?

even found beige car mats!

What's people's ideas? I was looking into colour changing the grey but their is so much to change before the carpet!

Black dash/centre console and door cards, with cream gaitors and trim in the door cards

 

[ady347]

But I got grey roof lining, with grey sun visors and carpet.

 

[edessex]

Well... They look comfy.

Oh yes that is the plus point of them

 

[Andy_Mk3]

They look really good

material started arriving for the interior, cream leatherette top of door cards, red suede for bottom, red suede roof lining.

whilst the door cards are off I'm fitting the colour coded door handles and upgrading speakers.

Rear Lights I got from Ash are on

 

[Purpledrumstick]

They look much better mate.

 

[TomVauxhall]

Lights look good mate, got a real soft spot for this van, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Cheers mate, I'd love to remove all the signwriting but I can't, I get so much work from it, but the bonnet decals have now been removed so just back and minimal on sides.

 

[TomVauxhall]

No need. It's a work van first and foremost. It just happens to look good whilst doing it!

 

[FrostyWaffle]

So question, did you coat the inside of that panel you welded in? I saw that you did a good job sealing the outter side, but what about the inside?

 

[ady347]

Yeah I did, but I couldn't get a picture lol it was a tight space, I used spray on underseal as couldn't get a brush on it, And sealed using a piece of hose attached onto my tiger seal nozzle.

Good, allot of people tend to forget the other side! Doesn't take long before they see their old rusty friend back haha

Quick 20 mins before tea to fit the handbrake and gearstick gators that arrived today, colour matches a lot better than it looks in the pic

 

[TomVauxhall]

Should all blend in nicely when you do the doorcards mate.

 

[ady347]

I can't wait for the suede red roof lining lol

 

[Andy_Mk3]

I want my door cards to match the grey suede in my seats

 

[ady347]

I'm having red suede bottom half and beige leatherette top.
