i had to blank out rear side windows on a golf i had and weld in a floor panel
but i got away with it in the pajero,my auld fella had the seats in it for a while after he got it certed as a commercial,dont know how he pulled that one
you need to weld all the holes for seats and belts put a flat floor with at least a minimum of a 4" bulkhead and blank or tint the rear windows, weight it and make up a new chassis weight plate with the new unladen weight on it i do the full job for 300

cud it be done in a day like???
what exactly would be left to do to have the car road legal after u worked ur magic,
oh ya and im referring to doin this job on an evo 4.
Surely there has to be an already existing commercial model of the vehicle in production for the conversion to be allowed to take place?
For instance, you can already buy a commercial Clio, so there would be no probs converting a 3door Clio car into a van. Same goes for a Land Rover Discovery, Vauxhall etc etc...
But there was never, and will never be a commercial Evo..?
Maybe i picked it up wrong though?

id do it if you wanted but it would never be taxed properly they couldnt let it trough!! like there is no load bay its like a land crusier you can get a long wheel base commercil with 2 front seats you can also get a long wheel base comercial with 5 seats the thing is you have to remove the diesl tank put it under the pass side floor cut the rear chassis and boot floor area make a box no smaller the 200liters so it will have enough load bay space to pass as a comercial an evo could not be done as far as i could see but if it could there would be a lot more of them like it for the cheap tax
