Fitted my new steering damper:-

Put my belly pan back on, its been off for most of this season so its nice to finally refit it:-

The plan over the next week is to get the van up on a lift & tidy up the underside. I want to clean off anything flakey & Dinytrol it all so it won't get rusty.

The first door panel is on & I'm very happy with it.Its slightly darker than the original but I prefer the shade to be honest:-

The passenger side door card has been getting on my nerves all year, it keeps rubbing on the step mat & pulling it off, also its hard for any passengers to close the door because the arm rest hasn't been fitted & you cant wind the window down.
The new card is now on, I've just got to fit the speaker, the pocket & the window winder:-

At last the door cards are finished, every clip is lined up & cliped in & both sides are exactly symmetrical. it took me 4 evenings what I could have really done in 1 but you can't rush these things.

My old one:-

I think you'll agree the old one is finished, however the new one is wrong, I'll post it back tomorrow to change for the correct one, when this comes I'll fit it on.
