    No probs. Its intended to drop into the rear cargo floor where the original spare wheel went. The pics don't show the full design and i am recycling the floor from a HQ ute to get the lower floor finished. I will be cutting the existing van floor out behind the diff and then reinstalling it on top of the boot so its a hinged and gas strutted boot lid. I don't envisage any access issues as the van is intended to be non cargo carrying. Thoughts?

    yes. my thoughts are that i reckon we should ask everyone here to chip in so we can pay you NOT to do it. To me it seems like a lot of work for something that is not really a problem to being with. IMO

    Did you have windows in the side at some point?

    Hi mate, sorry I didn't see your reply till this morning. Thanks for taking the time to respond. The reason I asked is because I had ideas of doing the same to mine. But I can't see myself doing it to a Sandman. I personally think they are a fantastic idea and look good. Looks like your doing a good job, I think I'm going to get a sheet metal fake drop tank built for mine that either unclips or swings down, so I can achieve the same idea without cutting the floor. Cheers take care.
