Lots of ideas but nothing set in stone yet... Liked the idea of doing a circular seating arrangement with table in the middle half converting on the rock n roll bed put then it's hard to work out how and where to integrate a cooker of some sort? Or might just do the same type of interior as I did on my last one!?

Front:
- Cutted springs
- T4 HD shocks
- Tie rod flip kit (because tie rods hitted frame)
- 185/60-14 tires (NOT load rated)
Upper control arms are sometimes hitting the floor. Need to cut some space for them.
Rear:
- LWB T4 HD springs
- Shorter shocks (I think they were from Astra diesel / HD) but I need even shorter.
- Upper spring mount modified for maximum drop. Smile
185/75-14C tires

Ground clearance is 60-70mm when the van is empty. Daily driven.
Can't go any lower without massive body work.

I love this van.
 
I was fortunate enough to parked next to the Gulf Oil vans at Elemental, I have the Mk1 Golf Cabriolet that was striped up too, but only for the show.
 
I've just also bought a panel van, but it's had a Moonraker pop top fitted onto it.
 
Pics to follow...............Big smile
