Been a little quiet of late…. Just enjoying the van… however….

Made a start on making a couple of blanking plates for the barn door retainer holes

Image

Prepped and painted them along with the reinforced strut plates for my barn door to tailgate conversion

Image

Also fabricated the support (not primed yet) for between the outer cross member and the inner mounting for the tailgate hinges, still to cut in two and then to length and work out how thread them through the openings…

Looks fantastic, will have to find a bit of time and have a read from the beginning!

Hi C. Chis,

Just checking to see if you made any progress on your tailgate conversion. Did you make the strut brackets or is that something that can be got from VW?
