Probably the best way is to upload them to a hosting site like Photobucket which then allows you to insert them into your thread here. You just need to create an ccount, it's free. http://photobucket.com/

Here is how i bought it......Very government looking!



I first built this box in the back



I then insulated and carpeted the wall panels! So much quieter!!



And put in some 6x9s


The box in the back took a bit of designing! Its a bed/storage/bike rack! Without having to adjust it!













I also tinted it myself and took off the crappy hub caps and running with the black steelies untill the tyres are worn! Im planning on getting it colour coded soon too!



To make the back into a bed i plan on carpeting another MDF board and laying it ontop of the bike channels.



I have a few more photos on photobucket. you can see them here

Let me know if you have any questions.

Very crafty and clever . Cool

What did you use to insulate the walls and doors?
That box is very clever too, might be a pain cleaning the carpet etc after a muddy ride though? I'd love to suggest a board for the bed that is incorporated in the box once again, but i can't think of anything. Looking good

I used house insulation and just put it in bin bags.

Just realised, did your van start life as a Crewvan, obviously swb?

That looks to me like a Kombi. Trakka fitted a few Transporters out with the full Kombi setup for some govt. departments. I have the issue of trying to replace one at the moment... argh.
