Looking to buy a car and wondering how to convert it into a van and how much it would roughly cost.

Anyone any ideas/opinions/help?

Why not just buy a carvan/van/jeep in the first place to save the hassle and cost. If you are vat registered you can also reclaim the vat on buying a commercial if you can get a vat receipt.

Somewhere like www.crewcabconversions.ie should be able to give you a price and clarify regulations around this.
