With regard to the chrome strip on the guttering
We were considering this but thought the pop top might snag/pull it off?
Will watch with interest to see how you get on Cool

I just bought the board from eBay, gave it a few coats of white spray paint and then bought the blue decal (again through eBay) for the front.

You can always remove the decal and then replace it with anything else that you fancy Smile

Well after another busy day (what better way to spend a day off Laughing) we've fitted the curtains and had a good wash.

Look at the stains on the seats though, shocking. Mad I'll have to clean them up following a leaky roof a while back No

Still, on the plus side the snow foam worked a treat:

Dude – that Snowfoam is awesome! Is it just some better type of shampoo? It looks like you can leave it on to work its way through the grime, no?

Snow foam is great. I think its really made a difference when cleaning the cars, it just makes everything that much faster.

I'm not 100% on how different standard shampoo is but we've had this bottle of Meguiar's Hyper Wash for a long time now and it certainly lasts. I think the big detailer see it more as a pre-wash thing to get rid of loads of dirt.

All you need is a foam lance to attach to your pressure washer and away you go.

You will be able to get everything cheaper on eBay too. This is just where I got ours from.

All we do is spray a nice thick layer of foam over the van, leave it 10 minutes, give it a gentle rub over with a mit and then rinse off. Job done Very Happy

You could just foam it, leave it for 10 minutes and then rinse, but it doesn't always get all of the thick ground in muck off.

I would certainly recommend giving one a go! It's good fun to be honest Very Happy

I've fitted the new front indicator seals as well now. That was certainly a harder job than I thought it would be.

Still, no condensation now Very Happy

Have you considered fitting a rack?
When can we see the camper in the flesh so to speak?
Are you going to CamperJam or the Kombi Sleepover in July?
Sorry, Scooby is just so nosey Laughing

You're not being nosey Smile

We are definitely looking at getting a rack. The time-travelers one looks good for the price but I'd like to see one before I buy I think.

We can't make CamperJam as we will be at the F1, and we are at the Pagent Of Power when the sleepover is booked.

We will be going to VanFest though if you're going there? Very Happy

I have one and its very good, if you feel it isnt deep enough Mick can make it deeper for you. Its a complete welded frame and the slats bolt onto it, it sits on the roof perfectly and doesnt leave any marks on the guttering etc.

Great snow foam pic pastymaster! Looks like it must have TFR in it? (Traffic film remover) Not sure what it can do to any polish you may have applied in the past though as it may 'strip' this off too?

I'm sure we will get to meet up at some point. Are you going to any other events in the near future?

It is good to hear how accommodating Mick is. I really should give him a shout Smile

I don't think its harsh enough to strip any wax or polish off. We've never really had any problems in the past and use it every time we wash the cars.

It certainly does the job though Cool Very Happy

You need to give it a go Jason. cheers

Hi Pastymaster

The only other events pencilled in thus far are Volkfest Wales (20th Aug) as we may meet up with our friends from Wales and a Vintage VW Show on our door step in Reading on 25th Sept - see below for details of both

Looking good like the few personal touches you have added your really making it your own. It needed the Danbury sign coming off that made a huge improvement (nothing against danbury, just did not look right)

Maybe that should come off then Laughing No one likes it Smile

It was my girlfriends birthday the other day and as its really her van I treated her to a personalised plate.

Its a play on T2 DUB, but that one had been taken and this looks a pretty close second to be honest Very Happy

I know we shouldn't run the black and silver ones but they look much better, and for only a tenner it's worth a go!

We've just got to send the stuff off to the DVLA now.

The black and silver ones do look cool pastymaster, but I strongly recommend you don't fit them. They are illegal on a vehicle registered 1st Jan 1973 or newer and now carry a fine of £5000 per set of plates for whoever fits them. I was told this by a pro plate maker recently.

Further any company fitting black and silver number plates to a vehicle they know shouldn't be wearing them is effectively causing any driver of such vehicle to break the law.

Sorry to be a killjoy. Love the new reg though.

Trace had finally been over to the DVLA last week so we've fitted the new plates yesterday.

I think we are just going to leave the black plates for being parked up on the drive as well as shows. We will keep the proper plates on for driving Smile

It's only a two minute job to swap them after all!
