Well took the punt on a new hex-v2 Ross-Tech lead as the one I borrow is I think a copy ,as that was£50 off flea bay, so had my golf Gti mk6 seats for a while and never really noticed they were heated , had some looms made bye Stan the man and I must say superb quality and fit a treat made easy from a how to that comes with them , got the seat heater control from my local breakers at £20 👍 wired and activated heated seats and job done , now for door exit lights , I believe it is changing a code so that’s another new step , got all the interior out so I’m going to re wire my reverse camera , install a sub and some vibe 6x9s another new thing , fog lights , auto lights , wish me luck 😜💪

I'm actually quite impressed, they look pretty Good. Loads brighter (i can actually see the wigan potholes before i plow into them now) and it looks so much better than the standard lamps. £22 from euro car parts, no complaints here.

Hoping to have the back finished tomorrow. I’ve done the sound deadening and carpeted the ply. Going to carpet the exposed metal tomorrow and fit the insulation, then put the floor and ply in! Bleddy cains your knees haha

That’s looking good Mike. ;)

Have you had a chance to see how much difference it makes to noise?

Cheers. It’s gone from a tin sound to a thud. Not driven yet while I build it though! Tbh I had so much stuff in there before it wasn’t that (road) noisy in the back.

The guy knew his stuff and got it done in 2 hours with me chatting to him picking up info through the process ,
Cruse control is awesome! And it's great to finally have a temp gauge!

Managed to duck and dive today from the mrs family and finish off my van. Couple of very small bits left to do but all but done Image took a bit longer than I thought it would, but it’s quite difficult to work in a car park away from my house Image chuffed with how it looks now compared to how it was before
