Starting on the floor

Things move on apace! The noise-deadening pads arrived, so I have generously covered the wheel arches with 'em. I'll have plenty left for the panels, doors and hopefully the cab floor as well. A good spend of £40 for 20x 200x100mm pads, that.

After covering the wheel arches (which reduced the "tang" when flicked to a "tonk"), I gave the floor a coat of Waxoyl underbody seal (Halfords, £15 for a big tub). This is to further deaden that road noise and, of course, to seal the floor against rust. The bottom of this van is now pretty well tanked, and with a roof vent as well, should be protected against rust from condensation, breathing while asleep, and wet kit.

In other news, the 8-ball gear knob arrived and was immediately fitted. Nice.
