Sure does!

Last of the pics for now, more in the future.

Love it (except for the chrome arch trims!).

Well wear!

As I just posted a first post about some issues we're having with our 1997 4wd 2.5tdi Bongo, I thought I might as well show some pictures of our conversion also. Probably a slightly unusual conversion that had the goal to not lose the ability to have one row of passenger seats when required (it's our only car...).
Some features:
-Pull out kitchen (rear) with a stove & running water (pressured system from a 26l tank)
-12v electrical system with 100Ah leisure battery (located in the second starter battery location) and 200w solar - feeds lights, gadgets and our Dometic fridge
-"lounge area" that can be removed in order to put the second seat row in
-Comfy mattress in the pop-top (that's where we sleep)
-Swivel passenger seat
-Plenty of storage for everything you need (incl. for skis for the winter)
-Custom table that folds and slides into the side of the Bongo
-and additional things that can be seen on the photos...
It was my first van conversion project and we did all the work with only a jigsaw and battery power-drill. Definitely some areas of imperfection and things I would do differently in hindsight, but overall pretty functional!
Some photos are from when the build wasn't completely finished yet, but show some things better.

and some more pictures:

Looks good Vlme,
What kind of bike rack is that?
A swing out one like that looks much more convenient than the one I have where you cant open the rear door.

Also, I think you should hang up a hockey mask beside the hatchet for the laugh

Thanks!
The bike rack is a Thule T2 Pro XTR, the swing arm is independent, and is a Yakima Backswing. Works great, the only disadvantage is that it makes the van quite a big longer and your departure angle gets quite limited.

That's a clever conversion, I love the pull-out parts, you put a lot of thought into it and it has things I've not seen before on a Bongo. And I'm impressed that there's a robot working on it! We don't have them yet it the UK.
