Excellent work my jaw dropped when I seen the pictures

Theres been some Effing and Jeffing. I took the locost route as the cabinets to but are Upwards of £700 then theres the cost of the rock n Roll bed so that would have been £1100 Plus. I sold the rear triple seat for £500 Bought the R+R bed for £400 spent around £400 on the rest Quite pleased with the results cant wait to try it out. Next thing is towbar then able to tow the kit for track days

Do you advertise on the T5 Forum ?, Was thinking about swivels but its another cost and you have to modify the handbrake I believe but let me know the price just in case.

Not Kidding Paul driving this is just like driving a car until you try and corner hard lol. well comfortable 30 plus MPG from a 1.9 doing short runs averaging 32mpg normal commute is 7 miles one way. Some transporter guys are getting nearer 40 . Mines in for a bit of remapping in may to take it to 135BHP not massive power but will improve the torque immensley
