I took my van to Halfords and they came out, took the code and matched it for me!

My van is finally finished!!
Phew!!!

so does nobody actually know whats legal light wise? I've almost finished van revamp and the orange casing on the front indicator lenses totally ruins the van. I'd like clear or smoked casing with orange bulbs if necessary but I'm more confused than ever which is legal Please can anyone advise or te...

Cheers! Yes i realised the saturated roller issue but only after i'd made the mistake I'll use this method to tidy it up this evening. thanks a lot

Hello, The light blue is veyr nice :-) I'm going to start my next coat this weekend but first would like a bit of advice on tidying up the window rubbers. In places I got a small amount of paint leaking through the masking onto them and i'm looking for the best method to remove without bodging the w...

Hello, Team28Crew, how did you do this with the covers? I'm pretty rubbish with sewing machine but could maybe persuade a friend if i'm lucky. Have you just sliced up the rear seat covers to make the arms rest covers? and did the actual seat covers fit this well or is there a lot of modification nee...

Hello again, So i took all the comments on board regarding bubbles and made myself a 20% thinners:80% paint mix and painted a panel. Although i spent ages squeezing the roller (too much maybe as i was worried i'd actually wrecked the shape of it) I still had tons of bubbles to rework, however the fi...

Llamapup, you have made me feel much better having seen your images. My van is currently at the "ugly" stage and it's hard to see an end to the prep! I also think i was too liberal with the vactan - some drips and runs in places it's not needed. I didn't realise it would dry to have a text...

yes i do have power steering. Is this something I can DIY or a job for a pro?

Hello,

thanks in advance,
Cat

Hello, I have some questions regarding Vactan treatment. I need to treat some very minor seam rash on the seam above the near side rear wheel. 1) I understand I have to remove all the rust out of the seam first before applying the vactan, but then does the vactan fill the seam again so it looks like...

Hello, I've been looking into buying the combicolor paint for my van. I've tried both companies suggested here (Lawsons and Paintshop.ie), and the prices are very interesting. Im based in Belfast so postage is always going to be a bit more for me but I was shocked at the price difference between the...
