Default Converting van to car, anyone done it registering it with dvla

Marvin has had quite a few feestas dude that were origionally vans converted into cars and thinks there might be a case for paying tax for the pleasure.
I'd be interested to know how you get on but i think thats why so many stay vans if you have to give the robbers in the goverment a dropsy just to change the type

My dad did the same thing years ago to a mk 1 fiesta. He changed the side windows and fitted all the trim in the rear.
