Fast forward and my RR Sport imploded and is stuck in the mountains. My C1 is operational, but has a nail in the new tyre and needs a new steering rack (it's OK, but MOT says so) so that left me driving the Taxi about!
I have replaced the top light on the roof and gave it some Cheezus branding:
It then sat for a bit before my RR died, so needed a new battery and a clean out to be used more daily...
Then just really drove the damn thing! It was just doing hauling about of furniture and my daughter to school and back.
Today I started the service... air filter was done and wiper blades. I am waiting on the oil so I can do the filter change and I have a new diesel filter to go on, too.
Then I got carried away. The dash is out... oops! The whole front was so minging, I wanted to clean it all up and the more I started taking things apart to clean, I figured I'd plan a proper tart up of the front space.
Plans:
- recovering the dash with a nice black faux suede material
- Redo headlining
- cover A pillars
- fit new black carpet
- fit new 40 euro chinese single din headunit (I just wanted bloody bluetooth and the other one didn't have it)
- spray the plastic trim
- spray the big plastic partition in that raptor bed liner stuff
I also need to sort out the seat and centre console, but seat I am looking at options for a new one and I'll see how the material/ spraying options come out and what the plan for the console will be. Same for the door cards tbh.
Overall plans are to, other than a refurb of the inside, and making it more as it should be, to keep it as original as kinda possible. From a layout point of view anyway. I'm looking into a roof tent option and I'd love to make the most of not having the kids one out of 2 weeks, so would like to just work from anywhere in Europe over the summer. See if I can patch this thing up first mind
Anyway, more to come over the coming weeks on it's mini refurb!
