Just got back from having a sneak peak at the van in the Bodyshop and can’t wait to see it finished

Re: Brooneye's build
Not much to report on as still in the Bodyshop, but discovered that the drivers side coil spring has snapped and needs it needs a new top bearing.
So I’ve just ordered a new set of coilovers, rear shocks and all the hardware for the rear. Thought it made sense to replace the whole lot at once. I also bought everything needed to service it at the same time.
Hopefully I’ll have everything sorted for Monday so I can get it through an mot.

Re: Brooneye's build
Today I was out and about and managed to pick a golf undertray up for £15. This will be fitted tomorrow after I service it and hopefully get the coilovers fitted on Saturday

Re: Brooneye's build
Today I managed to do a full service on the van and after a trip to vw for the necessary bolts the undertray was put on.
Also managed to get the rear shocks, brackets and u clips changed. Hopefully get the fronts done tomorrow but I’m in no rush as I can’t get a mot till back end of the week

Re: Brooneye's build
On Sunday I managed to fit the front coilovers and the undertray, but can’t comment as still haven’t drove it yet.
Also on Friday I received this in the post and a big thanks to Doc for sorting these out for me

Just spent the last hour trying to get a blown bulb
out of a overly engineered bulb holder that is connected to a 12v socket

Well happy mate. Just got a few bits to finish it off such as lights and maybe a front splitter.
Already onto my next plan which is the rear bumper

Re: Brooneye's build
Interested to see what plans you have for your rear bumper. I've not had chance to do anything on mine but have got some new tools so at least I can make my own parts instead of relying on parts from other vehicles. Hopefully have some updates soon.
