I'd refrain from using vinyl. The tub usually comes up quite nice if you put the elbow grease in. Have you considered a carpet set? The rest of the interior is quite 'plush' looking so would fit in nicely. Good job, looks stunning so far!

We finally go my tax through!! Whoop!! Now just have to wait for some sun..

I've got VX booked in at http://www.bodyguarduk.com/ on Wednesday PM for front and side sill Ventureshield protection, looking fwd to getting some driving in after that has been done!

[starlight]

I had Ventureshield applied by them on my Europa. Very happy with their work, and with the paint protection. Good choice!

[Wreelybro]

Ah that's good to know It's always a little worring when you go somewhere new!

[Wreelybro]

Been playing about with my side sills they where in pretty bad shape so thought I'd try to make them look a bit better the drivers side was in 3 seperate pieces (sorry no before pics) had to fibreglass them back together then attacked them with a sander Drivers is pretty much done and pax just sanded waiting for the rain to stop so I can prime and top coat.

Right back from Bodyguard what nice bunch of chaps done a great job on my VX I am really happy with the results and I'm a fussy bugger!

First a quick wash off (Of course it rained on the way!)





No Ventureshield going on here but had to take one from this angle!



In progress







Front End all finished



I can safely say I would reccomend these guys to anyone wanting Ventureshield fitting they where professional and friendly and have done a few VX's before so know what they are doing.. Top Job BodyguardUK

Oh nearly forgot, they had some offcuts which they did the edge of the Tubby Ears for me FOC...

How much did it cost you?

So found out I've a couple of leaks in the VX over the heavens opened up earlier.. Nothing I can't fix but do have a soggy door card now!!

[Wreelybro]

First dry day since the VX has been road worthy so thought I'd take a few pics with Cliffies beast.

Right back from the days hoon - Things to fix:

• Knocking from steering column wobbling left and right getting a clocking each way (Hoping it just needs to be tightened!)
• EML light keeps coming on Faulty Code P0141
• Door to bits to fit the window adjuster that fell out!!
• Variety of metalic clocks coming from the front passeger side when on rough tarmac.
• Find lots more power so I can keep up with that Audi RS8!!

Even with these problems still got a stupid grin on my face...

Was worth it??

Well checked the UJ's top and bottom they where both tight and the 13mm and 17mm which hold the rack to the chassis, tight also... Looks like there may be play in the rack unless its' in the hardy spicer joints??

Any thoughts?

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

looks cracking mate, sorry not read your thread for a bit. No idea on the rack though sorry

[Nev]

I'd double check you steering column UJs, the tightening bolts on them are a classic problem on the VX and not easy to check when you are upside down in the footwell.

[Wreelybro]

Cheers Stuwy! I'm please with it so far.. Still got loads to do though.

[Wreelybro]

Nev thanks I checked the clamp bolts on the UJ's they seemed tight could not feel any play. Also could not feel any play in the hardy Spicer joint itself. I'm thinking the worst and it may be a new rack....

Does checking means you tried tightening then up?
