Let the build begin

So, as it’s been chucking it down outside this weekend I thought I’d spend some time in the back of the van...
Removed the old plywood panels
Lined the roof panel and fitted a set of LED’s and a switch to switch them between door control and off
Tried to keep the wiring on the back of the lining tidy and secure...
Lined the sides and the plywood panel, brought the silver down so far and then brought the anthracite up to meet it, hopefully will look okay after a few MTB trips. The gap above the side door has also been bridged, see below
Refitted the Powerfly bike clamp and changed the retaining cord, will replace with a lovely dark grey one when I get a chance.
Sprayed the old grey bulkhead satin black to keep the theme going
And as there was no beer in the house, I kept fuelled with..
Still have to finish off the RHS, that’s a job for a dry day
So, what’s left on my list....
2. Headlight tweaks
3. Remap
5. New front seats
6. Trial fitting of a VW flip emblem reversing camera into a spare barn door(long term project!)
7. Retro retrims for the A pillars - now changed to hydro dipping
9. Dukes of Hazard air horns (so ‘70’s)
10. Electric window upgrade
11. Flat bottomed steering wheel, unsure yet which one
14. Centre console
15. Touran dash
16. Touran instrument cluster
17. Touran front bumper
18. Dye the cab headlining
19. Lowering kit
20. Engine cover
21. Passat interior light
N+1. Buy a newer Caddy and start again
Only 4 new mods added to my list since the last update
