First Modifications

As a first step I decided to move the passenger seat further to the front. So I removed the railing that was mounted near the entrance, inside near the steps. This is how it looked before:


I was able to remove the screws. Can use those screwing points for some additional mounting in the future. Now the single passenger seat is at least further to the front. With lots of legroom - I may place there some kind of foldable extendable foot rest. And this is how this space looks now:


Moving the seat forward was no problem. I took the largest spanner I had - it fit perfectly, and I was able to loosen all the 6 screws. Then I could move the mounting points forward within those rails at the bottom. Very useful.

Here are pictures of other seats in the bus:

First Pictures

Here are the first pictures - I took them when the car was still at the dealer in Bradford.


This is the 2002 LDV 400 Convoy which I purchased yesterday.

Here are more views:


It has a bit of rust around the edges, so I will need to work on it and remove that, scrape it off, convert it, paint over it. Possibly the whole vehicle may need to get a paint job...
But first need to ensure that e everything is working OK.

Here is a picture of the interior:


Quite nice and undamaged seat covers. And the rooflight in the middle is great! This would have cost a lot to install myself - the rooflight alone could be several 100 pounds.
