Yeah it's not looking good....  I was most impressed when the glass was in, looks like it was always a Caravelle.

Few log book/insurance issues during the conversion, one of issues being it's no longer a 3 seater van. All sorted now.  It will seat up to 6 people.  New, genuine fold flat bench with seat belts purchased that will run on rails from front to back.  Cost around £1500!

Rear bumper needs sorting out, to match the front.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Yeah I can't remember all the issues but I think TAX banding was another one.  I could be wrong but I think there was some speed limit issues too.  As a light goods vehicle it was limited to 60mph on Dual Carriageways.

Oh and Wherry, as far as wheels are concerned, this did come into conversation, so did a slight suspension drop.  Believe it or the wheels fitted are 16s!  Needs some 20s!  :grin:

Initially he was keen on changing but is so low on the priorities list it may never happen.

Yes it does, I think that it's a replacement due to the original being split at some point. It's on the to do list.  Rear wipers also need sorting out.

Dewiper it maybe, I think it would look tidy.

Yeah exactly what I suggested... He's not sure.  Visibility is low anyway so he may as well.  :grin:  Especially since he is considering a reversing cam and a TFT head unit etc.
