Then onto the good stuff...

Firstly started off small (newbie)..
Rear De-wiper using a blanking plug from screwfix

Cleaned... sound proofed and insulated
Silent Coat 2mm.. 40 Sheets did the trick
B&Q Recycled Plastic Insulation
B&Q Foil backed Bubble wrap & foil tape to seal the insulation into the cavities

Removed the Bulkhead, Carpeted the rear and sound proofed the bed..
8m Mega Stretch Campervan & Caravan Lining Carpet & High Temperature Adhesive
Tecsound 50AL Van Flooring Barrier 2M Sound Proofing Material Underlay
For the doors... 3 x VOLKSWAGEN VW logo Stencil Ply Line

Well done.

Pioneer SPH-DA120 fitted (reverse camera coming soon..)
Upgraded heater control knobs fitted alongside aluminium air vent rings

Golf R MK7 heated seats ft. checker-plate rubber flooring covering the ply in the back of the van

Caddy Life Centre console from Sirius Automotive

Removed the caddy seat bases for Touran bases

Fitting the centre console, got there in the end!

Seats going in.. what a difference


As the seats are heated, next job will be to get the them wired up!

Almost forgot to mention the wheels...18" VW Talladega
pictures aren’t great so I’ll hopefully get a few more after a clean at the weekend



Hoping to have the van lowered at some point in the next few months.. possibly the ST Suspension ST X Lowering Coilover Kit

Like the seats, Iv cheaped out and got a set of Leon fr seats for £100

Managed to get a good deal on eBay from a guy who was less than 10 minutes drive away so couldn't resist!
They came with the rear seats & door cards so hoping to get those sold on eBay soon

The build is coming on really well inspired!

Sorry in advance for the question as I am sure you have been asked this, how did you get on with fitting the seats was it fairly easy?

Thanks much appreciated!
Yes they were surprisingly easy to fit.
The Touran bases went straight in and after shuffling the seats around a bit to locate them on the bases, it was an easy job bolting the seats down. I only needed a spline hex bit on the end of my wrench for the bolts

Made the most of some sunny weather and washed the car and van today
