Loving your videos, we have just brought an 05 plate vivaro for kids, cuppas, bikes and surf board. Not doing bad on a budget- loved watching this and reassuring myself that I’m not doing a bad job with the bottom etc. My van is dirtier than yours! Muck everywhere! The cleaning is just coming to an end and it’s starting to go back together so exciting now. I will keep watching your vids for inspiration. - great job.

you can use this spray, but it is expensive. you need a lot of cans to get a good result. I prefer hammerite paint. If you want to reduce the noises, the cargo space partition is the first step. That changes everything!

You should paint all the outside plastics black which it's their original color! I do not know how they paint it white if it looks ugly that way. If it were mine it would be the fist thing i would do. Or buy new ones they're cheap

My sliding door handle is loose and I mean the whole thing pulls out about 4mm. Is there a way to fix this? My steering wheel was very sticky so i lathered it in a degrease then bought a lovely leather cover with shiny inlays. Very nice now. The floor can be refurbed using back to black bumper restorer.

That front end looks a bit different from other Vivaros - is it some kind of after market body kit, or am I losing it?!

What a difference, you did a nice job. Would red oxide have been an alternative to the vactan?

@LarcsWorkshop

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks 😃. The Vactan is good at converting & stabilising the surface rust, I don't think red oxide would be as good. It would work well on top of the Vactan, as a sort of primer. Cheers Larcs 👍

I only clicked to see what the inside size was like as I'm looking to build out a camper. Is this a swb ? A cheap fix for the steering wheel would be a cover saves the hassle of messing with the whole airbag system also can even get ones you sew on that look nice for only a few pound

Hi Lindz thanks for your comment, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner (for some reason I've only just got notification of your comment???). It's a long wheel base van, although the headroom in the back is not very good. Although it's smaller outside, my VW T3 (T25) feels bigger inside and has better headroom. Obviously they are a lot older and starting to get expensive now too. Thanks for the tip on the steering wheel, I'll have a look. Cheers Larcs.
