Hi mate,van looks fine as a base,but it's either on a private plate or had the mk7 front end put on it as it's L reg,looks like they left the mk6 interior in as well so I'm assuming a conversion on the front end.I'd totally agree with the turbo diesel route,you could probably buy an mot faliure straight for £200 quid.always liked them on softspokes myself or even polished rs2k mk6 rims.worlds your oyster on this one mate.
