    Nathan as always great video van looking top notch as always ( mine still looks like a beat up bean can in white ) but mechanically I'm close , followed your videos , I have got round to doing the rear 😂 and I have those same apex springs , went for miele hd shocks back and front ( can't afford those nice bilstein jobbies) only thing I added was the miele t5 to t6.1 top mounts don't know if there any good as engine is about to go back in with a gt1749vb but Stock injectors at the moment, looking big shout for the great videos .

    Hey Marc thank you mate 👍 I’m sure you’ll get the van to where you want it, all takes time. The ride quality is nice on the springs and Miele shocks are good ones I’ve had them on a few vehicles. I’ve never bought Bilsteins before so thought I’d try them out. I’ve fitted the standard injectors back in mine to with same turbo you have, runs mint with no remap, I’ll do that in the near future. Appreciate the comment mage 👍🙏

    Good stuff Nath. Defo wanna run the rear higher. Helps the handling as well as it looks better. Bit stance'd if you know what I mean. Whatever colour caliper you go for, you can add some subtle same colour touches here and there like the grill inserts and badge inlays etc. Looking forward to seeing the mission that is a clutch change😂

    Hi bud the makita I use in the video is a smaller gun which is perfect for smaller stuff, it doesn’t always undo wheel nuts I sometimes have to use the Milwaukee or a breaker bar to crack them off. For a decent all rounder there a brand called kielder and they sell them in machine mart or online and they are brilliant I had one for years it done 700nm and was relatively cheap compared to some 👍 definitely makes stripping stuff down a breeze rather than ratchets.

    need to do new dampers on mine, I have the same euro springs as you mate but I have read on the forums the Bilstein b4's are designed for standard springs and will knock and ride super soft on lowering springs? The B8's have a shorter damper rod designed for lowering springs apparently, Will be interesting to see how you get on with them as I cbf to spend the extra for B8's lol
