looks tidy for the age of it, and relatively sticker free too which is a bonus, what are your plans for it?

the back has 2 dodgy seats in it, so going to replace them with the factory removable ones when i find some for sale. side windows to get fitted, rear to carper/vinyl floor, change the wheels, lower it and fit some side bars. that should do really for now. bought it mostly for biking reasons.

sounds like you've got a fair old amount to be going at

will you stick a rack on the back for the bikes or are they going in the back?

Just in the back, even with factory rear seats you can fit 5 people and 5 bikes so that's the plan.

like so, then just ratchet/bungee them in. wouldn't even need to attach that to the floor really.

These type of mounts are pretty smart, can obviously buy some more expensive off the shelf versions

Not convinced they would really suit your requirements. You have paid a lot of money for a decent van, i'd pay a little bit extra for the bikes to fit in. Admittedly, I am one to spend the extra for a little bit more and in most cases not required.

we have them in work. would having them at an angle save you some space?

suppose you could buy the one you posted then raise it slightly
