Gave the interior a good clean and protection, cleaned and leather balmed the seats and gave the alcantara a good clean and put the nap all the same direction.

Managed to find an engine cover on eBay for a bargain at £25 delivered. Great condition too.

Made a start on the carpeting, had the silent coat and insulation on for weeks now, pretty happy with the results on the carpet to say I've never done it before. Used hidden clips on the original panels which seem to have worked great. Also. Bought a z bed off ebay. Couldn't fit any better!

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I picked up my new ex-BG '13 Caddy Maxi today.
After driving 50 miles home, I have done the following
- Installed a cheap eBay Radio / Satnav replacing the standard radio.
- Installed Heko wind deflectors (So easy!)
- Removed bulkhead
- Cleaned rear floor & rubber matting which was filthy.
And finished off by blowing up an airbed and going to eat a Dominoes by the river.
Insulation and carpeting booked in for early November.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I know a few people on here may find it interesting so I’ve written a short guide to the various stages of the repair I did yesterday on my van.
Before I had the air suspension fitted which incorporates a much more solid trailing arm arrangement, I still had the crappy standard floating axle setup. This meant sometimes depending on the angle of the road the rear wheel stuck out further one side than the other. I must have hit a big compression bump while fully loaded and my passenger side rear tyre rubbed my wheel arch and took a fairly large section of paint off the wheel arch edge. I had touched it in a few weeks ago to temporarily seal it from the elements but wanted to get it fixed permanently before winter arrives.
Sanded and coated with Bilt Hamber Electrox zinc anti corrosion primer which protects the bare metal from any future rust issues.
Then a couple of coats of 2k primer
I only wanted to paint the flat section of the arch rather than the entire quarter panel. I’m 100% comfortable doing this sort of blow in as I do them every day at work so I have a technique which will leave absolutely no masking edge around the arch and no sign that it’s ever been painted. Ready for a few coats of blackberry pearl, then 2 coats of Spies Hecker clear.
Painted and baking at 60c for 30 minutes before being flatted with 2000, then 3000 wet and dry. Then 3 stage polished using Koch Chemie compounds.
Short video clip of the finished article.

While I had the paint out I also done my new flush fit wiper delete bung.
Primed with etch primer as it’s raw aluminium.
Few coats of base and 2 coats of clear.
