Turning car into van

[rbuzzy]

Anyone have any idea what to do to convert my 98 clio into a van for work??

 

[m4rkie23]

Take the back seats out.

 

[rbuzzy]

Ha yeah I've gone that far.

 

[pug_92]

take the rear windows out.

cut metal to fill holes and rivet into place?

 

[rbuzzy]

Seems too much like hard work. What about just dark tinting back windows, would it not look chavy?

 

[bunzee]

I think I'd be more inclined to try and find some sort of vinyl film the same colour as the car and use that to cover up the windows. Think it would look OK as long as it was done well.

 

[Glos182]

Spray it white?

 

[rbuzzy]

Good idea any idea where to look for that?

 

[rbuzzy]

Ha ha erm nice try don't want to spend a fortune thou.

 

[DrR]

lol what? Just take the rear seats out then it's the same as the van version???

My 182 spends most of it's time with no rear seats due to having my bike in there so often.

 

[bunzee]

Not a clue tbh, lol. Try a local sign firm?

If your not ever going to put the car back to a 'car' and leave it as a Van, you could just rattle can the inside of the rear windows Black... That what I did with my old Escort estate i used as a van.

 

[rbuzzy]

ok cheers for the advice I will look into the options

To be honest with you mate I have heard of people spraying the rear windows the same colour as the car with paint.

you'll need some plywood cladding for it too surely. To make the floor flat.

I'd;

Go to a window tinters or a van sign writer, get them to wrap the back three windows in the same colour as the car.
Remove the rear door cards, boot carpet, the lot
Clad the inside with some ply fixed with self tapping screws straight into panels that don't matter
Create a hinged flap where you can access your spare wheel.
Done.
