110 van to 5 door county conversion

Hi Guys,
I'm going to look at a 110 van tomorrow, I've only really tinkered with 90's before, how hard is it to convert a van to to 5 door county spec?

thanks,

Jack

very

I was thinking of buying a heavily front ended 110 from copart and then transfer the body and interior from the bulk head back. What do you think?

I think you need to spend a little time on my ward.

Not worth the ball ache, unless you are planing a full strip and rebuild. Easier to sell the van and buy a county

I quite fancy a full strip down and rebuild

Also if you are planning to use it in London it won't be LEZ compliant

if your balls are that big go for it son!

For what you will be spending its not worth it. Also a front ended vehicle warps throughout so aligning things will be a ball ache.

Plus you would have to deal with dvla and that's never fun!

I've just managed to find a straight one on copart, that at present is going for not a lot. I shouldn't need deal should I? It's going from van to station wagon, no change of body type?

Going from 3seats to 6+ so they need to be told but they can be a pain with these things as v5 will say can etc

Why do you want a CSW? I wanted one because of the seat arrangement - when the bin-lids leave home a van may suit. That said, if you enjoy tinkering, have the space and some dosh buy the van strip it down and build a CSW, just don't take it into London.

True Chunky monkey!
Blu haze - I just fancy a project to be honest, I guess tomorrow will tell, wether I embark in a mad project! However if you asked my girlfriend, she will tell you I have to many projects already
Luckily I wouldn't be taking it to London

You could convert it to a twin cab but with kids getting to back through fold down seats and have a short pick up back

Or just throw some fancy seats in the back that sit on the arches?

Why so? Don't know the age of the van the OP's thinking about but the
LEZ website says my 2003 110 Td5 van is compliant.
