Racevan mads MK6 Lwb High Roof Race Van Conversion Project

Postby Racevan Mad » Wed Jun 01, 2016 7:17 pm

Hi all i am in the process of building a race van/camper and thought i had better start build thread encase anyone else wanted to do the same and as a way of seeking help from the people in the know about transits, i have a few pictures and will try posting them along the way as a picture speaks a thousand words :wink:
I have started with a Mk6 lwb high roof that i saved from a builder, But from what mk6 transits i had seen she was not in to bad a shape for year, and only had one owner who used it for lugging metal up to London, so mostly motorway miles, II had to spend a few quid to get her through the mot last year, One peace of small wedling on back some were, and wheel bearing, the last owner said he had the rear axle rebuilt as it went on him and a bit of welding under the carpet/mats in the cab,
So far i have built the garage area at the back with large bed above and started with the kitchen area and made a few seat and a wardrobe bit, I will try post a few pictures of work so far
