Right lets get started!


First task is to remove the full height bulkhead. So 8mm bolts all around the bulk head (which is in two parts) So a few pictures of the many bolts to be removed. they are not on tight so I went around loosening them then removed all I could of the top part of the bulkhead.



Picture below is off the top of the bulkhead from the cab, this I found out has 4 torx screws under a small strip of interior paneling  which runs the width of the van area you can just see in it in the picture below

The strip is held up by 4 plastic  ribbed "nails" which are ridged carefully free them to get at the torx screws I used  a clean flat head screwdriver worked a treat!


Here it is put back in after bulk head removed not pretty as the roof lining (carboard basically) is not attached in anyway. But as I am having a pop top fitted makes no difference and I shall remove it prior to the roof being fitted. The cardboard will come in useful for panel templates.
  


There is a small frame around the van which the bulkhead is attached to, this is welded in place some people remove it, but at this point I think once the floor is in place it might not be need removing. We'll see!
