Yeah, of course, it was first van which I was ever driving. And I had the most kilometres with it, in comparation with other cars and vans. 5 years of my driving life....
But life is change, and new one (Smiley) has very live TD engine :) .
Unfortunately it is short and 6 sitted only, but I cant do anything with it :(

I have received ask about interior tunning...
I think answer can be useful for others too, so I will paste into the forum too:

Once additional advice, which I can give you, is fixing of rear sits.
We bought it with 3 front seats only, but in papers were written 8 seats, so we got 2 "3seats" and made fixing system.
We had weld 2 pieces of metal on the floor, in cargo space, and there were 2x4 holes for screws in it.
Each "3seat" were fixed with 4 screws, and we could have 3, 6, or 9 sitted van. Gauge of holes was the same for each 3seat (we had to optimise holders of both 3seats), so we could change 2nd and 3rd line of seats.

And one very little additional advice - holes for CB radio cabels under ceiling we made in original little interior lamp - it was better than do holes into ceiling.

If it could be usable for you, I can try find some photos of fixing system for rear seats.
