Time to improve the van

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by dookie, Mar 19, 2023.

  1. I'm going to make the van a little nicer on the eye.

    I need some new doors, and maybe a bumper.

    Just bought some new seats and cushions

    I'm looking on ebay but are there any other other web sites I need to look at?

    There were a few almost reasonable bumpers at Sandown, apart from brand new, and a door that had been well eaten by tinworm..
     
  6. I don't like spending money, so I want to spend as little as possible.

    I think I just need doors and bumpers, a bit of welding and a lining for the pop top.

    However this stuff is how long a piece of string.

    The going rate for slighly rust speckled bumpers seemed to be £40.

    But doors.. either weld up or cough up big money for good ones.

    I have some doors, possibly a pair of bumpers too, what’s wrong with your bumpers ?

  9. What's it look like underneath ;)? New sills are a good investment...

    A good investment and a fairly expensive one :eek:

  11. I go underneath every year, or so and seal it. So I think it's OK.

    The bottom six inches of the sliding door is rotten so that needs replacing

    The headliner needs replacing, but I don't want to replace it for like for like so I'm looking at ideas on the Internet
     
  12. Carpet it instead.

    Edit: the roof I mean. The bottom six inches of the sliding door would look rubbish carpeted....

  13. But more impressive to the MOT man than new cushions...
