Exciting times,
Don’t rush into anything….. Try to work out how you intend to use your van and then work from there. I am sure you know what you want after having a T5.1 for years however! External works can be completed any time so don’t have a knock on effect to other internal works for example so what is your priority, internal or external? We have customers who want the outside to look great immediately and then go to internal works. Some want the inside done first and do the externals later. Internals are generally done in a particular order to save you money and also to prevent rework.
For immediate fun I’d say go for coil overs upgrade. This will improve handling and driveability. Big brake kits for REVO for example are good upgrades. Wheels can be done later and you can wear out the factory rubber for now.
From there remapping for extra grunt if required, you can have DSG maps also. Internal leather upholstery, headlining’s etc. If you want to make it into a Kombi, obviously have the seats installed and upholstery upgrades. Sound deadening, insulation, lining, suede/Alcantara etc etc.
If a conversion, I would recommend roof first and then work down. Can be done later but more hassle and rework.
Perhaps just enjoy it for now while you work out your plan of attack.
Cheers
Ian
