Default Re: Just picked up my new car :)

Hey guys.

Picked up my LWB Grey T5 1.9 yesterday and got cracking on the free stuff today!

So first off this is how I picked it up:


Today I spent time stripping the back as it was mad tatty:


Rear of the T5 stripped:


In the past it seems the previous owner managed to spill a lot of some sort of glue:


And unfortunately managed to spill it onto the rear sill!!! This isn't going to come off!! I was toying with the idea of either buying a full width trim or carpet over it.


Managed to get the big spill off. Quite satisfying actually. Remember when you used to paint your entire palm with PVA glue in school then waiting til it had hardened and pealing it off all as one? Anybody? Just me?


And the satisfying remains


Still got a bit of cleaning up to do on the floor but tomorrow I shall start with flashbanding (soundproofing) the back.


The plan is not exactly ground breaking. It is going to be used as a very very large family car with the odd night sleeping in.
So the plan is to insulate/sound deaden and carpet. Vinyl floor. 3 seats to be added into the rear (still not sure which way to do this yet) LED lights in the headlining, upgrade the stereo and add rear speakers, dog cage.

Hope this is of some entertainment to somebody.
