What have you done to your Elgrand today?

Would it then become a Nishikoi Elgrand
 
Been to a local car show in Heage, Derbyshire. Thanks to @BMR for posting the details and arranging the pre-meet.
Good to also meet @Ian H and @Deanhempshall and pick their brains . Not a bad Elgrand representation:

Also met someone that had obviously been beaten by the petrol crisis:

Still buzzing from JDM yesterday with the amazing EOC, I continued polishing out the scuffs left by the convertion company (not one of their own Vans so why give a fff.. 😡) and Gummi Pfledged all my rubber 😊

Today, as the weather is so fine, I gave the carpets a wash with my Little Green carpet cleaner. Then went for a drive to post a letter with the aircon on full blast to help dry it out.

Now the French aren't into cars like the Brits are. Anything old is just old and been run into the ground. So I was surprised and delighted to spot this little Elgrand ancestor in such good condition parked in the streets of Josselin.

No I thought the brake lights were on the centre bar but they are in the bottom ones lol
Had a bulb out on the passenger side small light too.
All sorted now.
And the DRL's look great. 👍
 
my garage has fitted a Sugoi campers swivel seat (£300) and it has made a huuge and wonderful difference for lounging drinking tea after chilly quarry swimming. I am thrilled. They weren’t sure if the mechanism would work for E50s but with slight modification (re-drilling holes) it works fine - a bit stiff but will loosen with use.
Also replaced the water pump and wired in decent speakers and subwoofer.
I remade curtains which are blackout - too heavy for the electric curtain closing thing but I don’t care about that. Just super happy with my van

When they placed the seat on top the holes didn’t line up exactly - think the hold on the Sugoi unit were slightly wider than the fixings on the base of the seat so they just drilled a few centimetres in on the unit. The seat is about 10cm higher, not massively noticeable
