Nice one! Allways liked the transits, good van, am sure it will be comfy to, plenty of room in the back anyway, with headroom. A mate of mine had a chair (part of his 3 piece suite) and a bed in the back of his, that was comfy.

Another mate of mine found a stretched limo in the scrapyard and took all the "j" seats and the bar out of it, as well as loads of lights, that was cool-not as comfy as the bed was though!
