    Top man Jay, I used to love your van conversion videos. In fact I couldn't have cut my bed in the roof without your video on that. You are what Britain was built on,. Good quality engineering, keep it up mate not enough of us out there, with the emphasis nowadays on everything price point. Quality products fitted by qualified individuals.well done...

      Hey Mark thank you matey. I have to agree to be honest most people know don’t seem to be best job driven but more speed driven which is a shame.
      Thanks for the great comment too.

    After watching this I would be confident enough to try fitting my coilovers myself. It’s nice to see a honest how to video it’s not as simple as take something off that’s been on the vehicle for 10 years and put new on. You got the job done and showed us how you done it with clear instructions. Camper is looks sweet not to low and not to high. Look forward to seeing more videos from Jay 👍

    Good video mate you made hard work of the first one you should have asked me I would have told you how to do it I have spring compressors you could have used you can put the shock up a bit then to help get them back on but they am still a pain to do on the front but it’s nice to see a real video of how hard something am to do well done keep the videos coming 👍

    Done this. But with standard kit. A pig of a job. Ignore spring clamps get a spring compressor much easier. Love the trick with dropping the strut into the hub. Mine is t30 with t32 hubs.

    Just to add cover the new springs and dampers in ACF50 and it’ll never corrode, plus you’ll be able to easily adjust your coil overs.

    There a lot of surface corrosion on the struts, subframe, arms etc. Has the vehicle spent time at the coast by any chance? Great work and interesting video.

    • @JaysFabShop
      @JaysFabShop  6 місяців тому

      Thank you matey. Yeah I think it did to be fair. It’s all only surface as you said. To be honest I’m planning to fit new lower arms and I think I might strip a side down at a time and re con the calipers etc as I go. It’s just time that’s all

    Wow. Jay you need to sort that rust out under the van it looks terrible, plus callipers look shot.. get under it before it's to late kid otherwise you will regret it. Hopefully it's not to far gone ie welding time.

    • @JaysFabShop
      @JaysFabShop  3 місяці тому

      No mate it’s no where near as bad as it looks on camera. I have one patch to to one the sill from a dent but most of the rest cleans up. I have already started yousee. Thanks though.
      I have new brakes and calipers all round to fit it’s just time at the min.

      I love it mate to be honest. Either my others was really really bad and I didn’t realise or what but I love driving it again now. I don’t cringe half as bad now if i hit a pot hole etc. i would of preferred it slightly lower really but the ride definitely makes up for that small detail
