Hi All
I’ve been getting to grips with my new C Cab van. Seeing as I found it almost impossible to get in and drive it the existing seating had to go. One job leads to another! The van has been constructed by chopping off the floor pan and body just behind the battery box and replacing it with some meaty timber beams. The floor bearers at the front were bolted to the back of the battery and tool box right over the spring U and through bolts. Not that the springs need changing just now but I thought it prudent to form some holes. Unfortunately (and I’ve found this was the same on my RK) the spring through bolt lies almost straight below the rear rear battery and tool box holder. Still one side done this morning.
I’ve also removed foam backed carpet very well stuck to the wheel arches and transmission tunnel and polystyrene foam tiles stuck on the aluminium panelling. I’ve now got to find a way to remove the dollops of glue used to stick the tiles!
Cheers
Howard
