    i already have a 1.8 passat estate with tinted windows, and i use it more for me and windows washing, so this car is great for me as a van.
    still, what changes do i have to do, to make it a van?

    by any chance is it blue and were you doing a job in terenure mid last week ?

    and why would you convert it then ? handy to keep as a car, and youd probably never shift it as a van

    there on the vrt website somewhere, but it has to have a wheelbase of 2.4 meters, a gvw over 2400kg and 45% of the cabin space has to be cargo, a solid bulkhead has to be installed
