T25 Multivan conversion

[xs1100515]

I want to get a lifting roof, 3/4 bed and side kitchen etc for my T25. I also want to get a decent respray. Not one that will show through in 12 months. The money I will be spending is not for a resale, you never get it back. It's because I want to and want to keep the bus for a long long time.
Do any of you out there have any reputable places that can do this?

There must be dozens.

Good luck

Where abouts are you based?

if money is not the issue you should be able to pop into any reputable body shop and agree in writing the quality of work you require.

gone are the days of a £200 sprayjob tho , depending on your van condition does £3-4000 scare you?

The van is in Wolverhampton.

I've been quoted £2700+vat for respray in original cream with a pearl coat. This may require two rear quarter panels and if I don't get a lifting top it includes resealing the two sunroofs. I know it's a bit subjective because the standards vary but is this about right? It appears so from other comments.

However I am still interested in a lifting top and a cooker and sink. The bed is full size but in excellent condition. Are there any decent conversions which would allow this to remain.

Things are moving on with the bus.

I have decided not to fit a lifting roof or the 3/4 bed and cooker etc. The interior is so good it would be a crime to change it. I like the idea of keeping it as built with rudimentary cooking facilities which can be left in the garage when not needed. I like the space in the bus, I don't want to fill it up with a lot of heavy stuff I won't need.

I am having the re-spray done though. This is essential. All four wheel arches and a side panel to be replaced.

I am struggling with the sunroofs.

There are two and when removed will probably need new seals. One is marked Augros Brilliant the glass is FABA Autoglas 43R-001386, The other is a Formont F600.
I think they are both discontinued.

Any suggestions.

with a planked van it's not till they are removed you really know how bad it is, ditto the interior
I agree with keeping it fairly riginal and simple
how about a factory big sunroof roof to replace the twin useless leakers as an idea ?
