van - V5

[General Baxter]

what needs to be done to change a car into a van so it can be done on the V5 aswell

well the pannel but what about the boot floor ect?

[burgo]

i beleave you just have to take out the rear seat fixings then its job done

[General Baxter]

when you say that you mean the side ones that are welded in?

or just the bullet clip thingys that they uppy :wink: bit locks into?

[burgo]

yes the side ones and middle one if you have it have to be removed

[General Baxter]

ill wait for your answer tomorrow to see if you can get them pannels for me, before i start grinding :lol: :twisted:

[burgo]

lol ok bud

Np welding needed. I was told that the rear quarter windows need to be replaced with a totally non transparent material, all rear seats and anklaries (spelling) need to be removed and the foot wells to be covered. I took the foam of a single piece up right part of a back seat, tec-screwed it to the floor and threw a bit of carpet over it. What you need then is to go to your local motor tax office and ask them to examin it. Only takea ten mins. Give them your log book and they post you a new one a week later saying its a van. P.S. Insurance drops a fair bit too!!

I'm changing my quarters for clear Perspex now with a very dark tint. No one's gonna look twice at it if you've had it converted. But dont fit rear seats after, if you're done, you'll be done for no insurance. :wink:

local motor tax office

do you mean the post office? :o

[Dod]

ER, where ever you go to get your car taxed. I'm not too sure, may be different where you are. Phone wherever you send your log book when you're changing the name on it and ask them. Hope this helps!

I wouldn't go with the sub, the cage, strut brace are sweet. Keep it simple and stripped. A pair of 250w 6x9's are plenty. As for the white Nova, it looks well but I like the way the back of mine looks. Take a look at it and see what you think, bare in mind there's a re-spray due on it yet!!!

[General Baxter]

when i mean sub,

i mean just placed into the wheel well cut into the false floor, got to have some base and a set of 6x9's in the floor aswell

*i no iv seen a picture of a rear floor like that with the sub in ect :) *

[Dod]

Yeah, suppose but it wouldn't be my cup of tea but that said, each to their own!! :)
