T4 California coach interior strip out

[en2rafg]

Hi all,

I'm getting new planels along the bottom of the van due to the dreaded rust and to try and save a few pounds I'm going to take most of the interior out myself. Would anyone be intererested if I did a wee guide as to what I'm doing in case anyone else needs to do the same at a later date?

I spent a couple of hours at it yesterday evening and got the water tank and covering out (the water pipes are disgusting inside, so will be replacing those). I've attached a short document / how-to on how to remove the interior up to the water tank. Would anyone find it useful if I kept up this documentation for the whole removal?

Thanks,
Rob

Deffo the sort of thing to make a record off. Can’t see the attached photos above?

I would be interested purely out of curiosity to see how the interior all fits together in a T4

Not sure what's happening with the PDF. It opens OK on a PC, but not on the mobile app. I've attached the images from teh PDF below as far as I have it. Hopefully I'm not stating the obvious too many times.

Looking forward to the “kitchen units out” episode

"Kitchen units out" episode has been delayed due to somebody badly fitting a Webasto heater at some point in the past. Kitchen unit is out, but it's a two man lift, so waiting for assistance. Should have the van emptied out over the weekend and will finish off the guide next week somewhen.

Van is now emptied out, will be creating a how to guide over the next week, mostly so I can remember how it all goes back together!
Uncovered some rust issues that were hidden by panels, worst is the A-pillar which is currently powder on the inside (looks fine on the outside though)
The van is now with the welder, so hopefully will all be cut out and replaced ready for a respray.
