Got big plans for it, I am going to look at getting a double dog & double hawk box made to fit in with opening to the back door, then the middle section will be for soring all the coats, bags, ferrets and catches of the day ;-)

I will phone around some of the transit box makers to se eif they can do this, just have a worry that it may cost more than the van did!

If the price is too much it will be a weekend job with the saw and making a wooden box.

I am hopeing to make it easily removeable so that should I need to put anything big in the back it wont be a problem.


My Daihatsu sportrak was just a little too small now I have the two dogs! Shame really as it was a really nice car, low mile and very versitile (softtop for summer, loadliner, dog gaurd). Its for sale so if you know anyone point them in this direction ;-) £1500 6 month MOT 12 month Tax

Thought about this but will it work in a HDI engine?
and will custom and excise not target vans for random checks, suppose you could say your running it on organic fuel but thought you need to inform them that you are using it?

i dunno wot the difference is between in engines. as for using veggie it could be a bit dodgy but there are a few petrol stations around that sell the eco diesel which i think smells the same.

still waiting to pick mine up:roll:
