Went in search of a gen 3 rack, ended up with a gear knob off a Skoda
The search for a decent 2nd hand Gen 3 continues….

Fitted alltrack side skirts to go with the rear bumper I fitted last month. Turns out they do fit with the side runner bars (nerf bars) but do need cutting back to retain mud flaps. I THINK the van is finally where I want it to be (other than KESSY) until I see another build thread & get more stupid ideas

Carpet is in, paid my stupid tax broke a clip of the accelerator pedal and one off a trim piece. I'll get replacements sorted.
While the carpet was out I ran the power and phono cables plus lobbed down some more sound proofing.
New gearknob is on nice carbon jobbie which was a ball ache to get to fit. Need a spacer on the shifter arm/stick/what ever you want to call it as the gaiter is a bit too tight so I'll sort a spacer to go under it so it looks nicer than the bare shaft.
Few bits left to do, waiting on the new gear and handbrake gaiters to arrive blue stitching to match the seat covers waiting to hear back from a company in Germany about some scrim fabric with the same stitching to sort the door cards out. Snagged a W8 interior light but I think it has green LED's so that'll be fun to swap out.
Then back into the rear now its warmer I might get the carpet stuck on!

I've just completed the Climatronic retrofit.
It took me a week, but I'm very happy I managed it with so little skills!

Made a little support shelf ...
Not needed with the 3-Cushion bed arrangement, but stops the foot end sagging over the edge when using a self inflating mattress (more comfy option).
Neat stainless steel hinges.

Removed all interior cardboardy panels ready for insulating with some CCfoam and then need to decide on carpet/alcantara/honey comb leatherette covering before cutting new panels out of some marine ply. Basically a clean and empty shell atm!

Fitted the mk4 bumper that's been sat in the garage for months, fitted the reverse sensors and brackets from my old bumper.
