its a cut up lwb van

it just looks odd :cry:

single rear axle as well.. unless the chassis has been strengthened it wont last to long before it starts to bend or break up..looks like there is now 3 mk5 about as well as a mk6 thats a cut up van..bet insurance will be a nightmare as well if it can be insured which is proberbly why we keep seeing the same van/truck up for sale in a short time

sounds like a lot of work when you can just go out and buy a real one, don't look bad thou, I saw a few single wheel ones for sale when looking for mine, even saw a fwd converted one

Im sure the roof is a diy job doesn't look original too me :?:

by **Keef** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 11:53 am

It's a lump of semi high roof welded in.

by **davew2** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 1:19 pm

Thats what i thought but a lot of work. I would have left front of roof on :?:

maybee didn't like the look of it

DLVA has listed GVW as 3500kg which is usual for mk5 recovery

It depends on max rear axle weight to what it can carry (Jaguar X-Type is a around 1600kg unladen)

I would have swapped rear axle for a twin wheeler complete with springs. :wink:

As it's built on the correct chassis - 190

I like the colour that's about it

The chassis on a 190 van is completely different to a 190 truck

yup

rear axle (single) on a 190 van is 2000kg
