Bulk head frame removal

I was a little nervous taking a grinder to the van (the pop top and windows are being done by professionals) but that was the only way the bulkhead frame was coming out. There is a great description of what needs to be done here on the T4 forum.

It took about an hour and a half to do, although the van is chocked up on the drive with no handbrake or seats still! As the front seats had to come out I stripped out the remaining leisure circuit and took the opportunity to remove and clean the rubber mat, and slap on some RAAMmat sound deadener (the silver coloured stuff on the wheel arch). I used the rubber handle of the hammer to work it into the metal. Before the rubber mat goes back in I am going to put a layer of EZ Cool (automotive thermal bubble wrap) underneath. This acts as both an insulator and sound barrier - so they say!

I'll also be using RAAMmat (which was incredibly easy to cut using normal scissors) and EZ Cool, plus a bit of space blanket for insulating the rear of the van next month
