   I see what youre saying pal but its not a van is it on the documents so just be careful tinting/spraying the windows, the last thing you want is the porkies pulling you and getting a fine for it bud, good luck with it though i think with a nice vt kit on it and a van youre on to a winner there mate, maybe even a first on here

   51, thats quite good lol wish i could get that in my vts ha, try the search engine on here mate for stereo and speakers surroundings etc, that way you'll see a good boot-build in there and maybe a floor that should give you some ideas for a van

    Yes i did, the old bill did try to do me for it too, daft cunts! Hmm vosa is my employer i think i know the law and rregulations!
    
    I had 3mm ally cut out and put in place, on standard hinges. Makes the car, very very dark! I did have a progress thread but deleated it.

    it looks a bit gay having the rear windows tinted limo black and the front clear. as mr tonto did, jus get some ally cut out and drill 3 holes for the 3 screws. Not sure what you can do about the back window tho lol window tint?

    ive got an idea for the rear window! use the bootlid from a 106 van becuase i dont think that has a boot window. you'l need the 106 rear lights and, to move the boot catch i think aswell.
    
    or you could get a viynl company to cover the rear window with the same colour as the rest of the car?

    You should go to town with the project and make the boot open up like a real van.

    good idea but too much money and efort to make them opening like proper van.
    its just to get more space inside and even loading space just flat.
    i will probably skip all tinting just make extra load cover to ga behind seats and if i need more space just take them out.
