mini buss convertion.??

Postby billhutch » Thu Oct 04, 2012 1:33 pm

Hi all,,, I'm asking for some advice / help/buying tips
We are a family of 6 and love camping and outdoor activities ect,,and I'm looking at buying a mwb, semi high roof fwd 2.0 tdci minibus,,, possible 12 seater,,, removing later rows of seats leaving front and one row (ie 6 seats ), then fit rear seats so I can take them out ,spin 180 degree and replace to give a large day living space for when we are set up with tent or side awning,, has anyone done a similar thing , I want to ply line the rear and carpet it,, it will only be used as a big car/ buss to get to days out ect,,
My friend has a 2002 van that's mwb semi high roof, so I've been in measuring up and getting ideas, his van is good on fuel ect
So any help or advice or if any one knows of a nice one for sale please reply
Thanks Bill :-)

HIYA.
I'm hoping to sell my 9 seater minibus next month as I'm due to move overseas with work.
I'm not after much money for it, just what i've had to pay for it to keep it roadworthy.

This is a link to a pic:

if its what you're after please get in touch as it would save me the touble of ebay/gumtree etc...
