Not particularly PH, but having had several fast cars and motorbikes over the past few years I fancied getting something completely different. It was something I had fancied for a long time so thought I would bite the bullet. It was fully converted prior to me buying it with a pop up roof with bed, fridge, hob etc etc. I have just done some cosmetic stuff to the outside like the colour coding, borbets and lowering. Really happy with it so far. Dont get so annoyed when my two dogs climb over this like I did with my cars!! I have done a couple of trips in it so far, and off to Switzerland in August for a week. A couple of pics from last weekend. smile

Love the idea of something like that! Is it a Bongo?

Looks like a VW to me. Prepared to be wrong though!

Its a T5 Transporter converted to a campervan. Not a Sportline!. As for lowering it, you would be surprised how much nicer it is to drive. Doesn't roll around the corners like it used to!!

Cheers for the comments.

A couple of others that inspired me, with a fair bit more than lowering. Still have a few plans for mine!!
