Hi all, another British gas van with a few mods.
I have owned the van for about 3 ish years now and it gets used daily, I do about 250+ miles a week in it to work and back.
The mods and bits to following posts have all been done over the last 3 years.

Fitting seats from a Mercedes A-class.
Got the front and rear seats from eBay, sold the rears and caddys seats, welded brackets to the existing seat bases as they are much narrower than the caddys.

Re: Not another BG van
How much did you lower the front/back?

Re: Not another BG van
No idea how low tbh I know its a good 35mm+.
It just rubs every now and again if you hit a dip in the road at speed. The stance+ kit drops quite a bit after fitting too. I used the original hangers on the back rather than the ones that came with the stance+ kit to make it lower on the rear. The stance+ kit is very harsh and it's a bit of a pain in the arse on the road, to the point I'm thinking of lifting it up and swampering it.
