Hi Bryn, thanks very much for the advice, ill call Auto Extras although i can fit them myself im sure. Cheers

Ive had windows with mesh installed by All Van Mods, they were ok, they also attempted to fit my Fiamma awning, but instead of using a straight edge on the van... they used a spirt level

it was 30mm out and wouldn't fix it, i went elsewhere to get it refitted, which cost me more to get removed and refitted.

I can't say i would recommend them, as there attitude was quite poor when i queried the awning issue on pick up and the installer went berko

I used Auto Extras for my Swivel seats as they can issue a blue mod plate, i'd use Ians company again,

I got Wanderlust Campers to order in a RIB seat/camper bed from France and Phil installed and had a blue mod plate fitted.

Im sure Auto Extras have spare seats, as i was in there a few weeks ago, and they have quite a few up on the mezzanine floor.

Although, getting it done by jan at late notice may be hard.

Hi Tuck I did mine myself Auto Extas sold me all 4 fixed glass panels for just a small amount above the cost of one fixed glass from VW here . in Aus . They have the sealant kits as well , main thing is cutting the actual metal part out .Here is my conversion I did a few years back New T5 Project

Thanks for that Sunny but im not looking to fit windows as a priority as the van already has one window in the sliding door for now, im looking for rear seats mainly and a ply lining kit would be great too but dont think you can get them here. Had a look at your build though, love it, you make it sound so easy, hours of work there on your knees!

Thanks Logi. Yes ive seen the JK site and they dont stock much here really.

Welcome aboard, mate!
Yeah, I find the cheapest stuff is from the UK..............although JustKampers has a branch here.........limited stuff but I have ordered from the UK and you have to wait for the next container.

Yes the old knees are not what they used to be too many hours riding Moto Cross at 65 will do that to you but I still love abusing my body out at the MX Park I go to . The van was converted first for our two disabled kids and second for camping as well . It,s not that hard to do jigsaw for the ply tape measure for making sure they fit and then a compressor and a cheap spray gun and some spray glue will give a good result . Over the years I have seen many do their own and I have been highly impressed with their work , as aMotor Trimmer i just can,t help myself when it comes to modifying our own vehicles . But I had to draw the line doing the same for others as it is hard yakka and lots of time for doing the work . The last one I did for a fellow MX rider and forum member is the one in the sticky thread Insulating T5 "Another wet weekend and someone is getting a makeover" after that I hung up my jigsaw and spray gun and scissors .
