How have you done the headlining? just stuck carpet to the roof?

No I used a thin piece of ply lining cut to shape and fastened that in place. I removed the front original heading and trimmed that out of the van leaving enough spare to follow straight through into the rear so it is one piece

Not sure to be honest. Do i go for 18" and compromise ride quality or go for 16" and know if i go off road for an on-site tracker fit I wont be worried about low profile tyres in a crappy muddy field/work site?

Good work on the van - it looks great! I'm in the middle of installing some captain chairs in the front on an old seat base like you've done, I see you've anchored your seat belt to the seat base too, did you just put a bolt through it or use a seatbelt anchor plate on the inside of the box to reinforce it?

I used the original seatbelt mounting point as the passenger base was originally a drivers side base I picked up from a breakers yard.
