Adventure Van Build Thread!

[Corps]

Afternoon, been going through your build thread again, I just wondered where did you mount the ECU?

What’s the Nokia switch for?

Nothing fancy... It's an old style bluetooth hands free. I liberated it from one of my old company cars (got a nice parrot one too, but can't be arsed to swap it over). [emoji16]

More stuff completed...

Boost gauge and passat hazard switch!

Bought this awhile back, finally got around to fitting it. I chucked away the crappy plastic tubing it came with, and used some stealth black silicone 4mm hose, and some mikalor hose clips. Wired the back lighting into the kl58 terminal on the fusebox and voilà! [emoji3][emoji106]

One slight issue is I've lost one of the metal clips off the top of my hazard switch - anyone got a spare? [emoji854][emoji848]

Now it's time for a test drive! [emoji23]

They look fine to my eyes.

Pair of armrests covered!

Not pretty, but better than the grubby OE fabric underneath.

Nah mate... I've purposely not focused on the stitching! [emoji16] (But thanks... [emoji106])

Nice one, i'm just getting into sewing on a machine, helping out a couple of afternoons a week at ours dads. They make canvas tops and seats for world war two military vehicles. Looks like you are a dab hand mate.

Been a while since I've updated my build thread - probably cause I've not done anything interesting with the van in a while. Lots planned, lots of bits waiting to go on... Just need the weather to improve, and a bit more daylight in the evenings.

For now though I've been progressing with some waterproof seat covers. Bought the fabric a while ago, used the old worn out generic seat cover as a template, and machined up some new ones. I've got one sewn up and fitted so far, working on the passenger seat and some armrest covers (couldn't find anything nice that included armrest covers...).

Pic for now;
