Modified vans

[Sanke]

Hi all
I was involved in traffic accident on Thursday (shunted from behind into car in front) My little Vauxhall Combo is now a lot shorter & will probably be written off. I am looking at Vivaro/Trafic/Trimastar as a replacement. I will obviously need to build racking etc inside but just wondered what modifications guys had made to their vans that made them a bit different or really useful.
Thanks

intall a ciggy lighter in the rear load area then plug in an inverter.......

mains power in the van for recharging stuff ! :-D

Put a sub floor into it, then steps and lengths of conduit etc can be slid under it.

providing you don't mind losing that amount of headroom not too bad if you're a short arse like me

Big boom box and flashing lights are a must, under van strip lights naturally and drop some Lexus style in at the back,
Possibly splash out on some hydraulic rams for bouncing and don't forget the full bore exhaust,
A chess board on the roof or flame down the side can't hurt and why not ---- in some halogen ultra high beam fog lights for the full hit

that's a bit rough for a sparky ain't it? do it properly and hard wire an inverter man!

spose we had better ask- I'm guessing you were OK following the accident OP?!

Geezer I know got bucket seats and a subs in his van rocket up on site with the bass kicking out of the van

 

[Sanke]

Yes dan86 I am okay thanks A close call. The van crumpled hence getting a bigger one. I am stiff & sore but otherwise okay Also as a fellow shortarse I can get away with losing headroom The false floor could be a good idea

2x minibus seats nicely bolted to the floor, in case moving 4xpassengers needed
motobike locking chain with a fat padlock, looped around some hardware in bottom of drivers seat and steering wheel when parked overnight.

which then prevents you from moving the inverter from vehical to vehical.
and i doubt the manufacturers recommend cutting the plug off to hard wire it.
nice try soft lad.
