A good shlap of the lowering stick, some nice old skool dished rims, enough fittings in the back to (hopefully) qualify for campervan tax, mk3 seats, decent ICE, black oem bumpers...haven't decided on colours yet though...

didn't think you can get camper tax unless you can stand up it it?

That 1.8m standing height rule is now gone...

you need a two-ring cooker, storage, bed(can convert from seat), and a table, which can fold away.

all must be permanently fixed to the vehicle...so ya can't just arrive in a hiace with a table, bed-settee, bedside locker and microwave fucked into the back to qualify for €88 road tax per year!

engineers report needed to send the application for vehicle reclassification to the vro in Rosslare also.

 

I hope to God you can pull this one off and qualify for that tax..

Great plans i'll be watching this thread carefully,best of luck

 

OK so, making progress finally on this...

Whipped off the roof-bars to find major rot where the roof had been drilled - major thanks to Alan Robinson (Robbo) for his chopping/welding/filling skills - free plug for a seriously sound chap!

Started to cover the rear panels with flash-band for sound-deadening - it makes a lot of difference..just got the sides done over the weekend - took 10metres in all; will complete the inner roof this week.

Cheap child labour - ya can't beat it! Is it sad that my son's more excited about this project than any other car that's passed through my hands?

Other side...

Also started the insulation - using 'Thermawrap' roll -very easy to work with, although the foil tape is a pain in the arse!

More updates as the interior fit-out continues...

 

Took a slight change of direction on the paintwork, as some of ye may have noticed at the Limerick show on Sunday...!

Cab interior has been spruced up nicely, making a start on the rear in the coming days, big thanks to Dermot on here for the gas stove, and to the lad on eircooled for the T5 rear bench seat...

CYou can check out progress on my blog at RETRO-VAGENS BLOG
