306 van?

[ozonehostile]

Surely getting an estate then doing something with the rear would be better than a hatchback?

with an estate you'd need to do something with the rear doors, more effort than its worth really to blank them off and weld up again tidily. With a 3dr they were made factory as a van and look alright with no rear windows

Didn't think your HDi was reliable...

What's the point of classifying as a van though?  Tax reasons?

at least I know how to fix it when it does go wrong aha, and yeah it would purely be for tax reasons to declare it as a commercial vehicle

I'm sure as a professional welder/fabricator/engineer you'll manage to make a bulkhead and some rear blanks out of some sheet steel

the load bay and bulkhead won't be a problem really, it'll just be good to see how they were done on the factory vans.

Im sure on the genuine ones that the rear window blanks just fitted to the same fixing points as the glass on a 3dr just without the hinge and if i could find some, would look a tidier job than just plating the holes over
