DIY Conversion - Vangear
Posted: Fri May 10, 2019 7:30 pm
Hello Bongo comrades.
So I'm currently obsessing over the third and final Bongo, and thinking how I can save money on a full side conversion. I really love the look of the Vangear products: https://www.vangear.co.uk/, in particular the full conversion options:
https://www.vangear.co.uk/xs-modular-sy ... -262-p.asp
https://www.vangear.co.uk/premium-modul ... -153-p.asp
So despite really liking those options, I'm wondering how they would fit into the side of the Bongo. I have seen that professional conversions will leave a cut into the worktop to make way for the column in interior plastic panel, like this: https://clearcutconversions.co.uk/onlin ... 3/07/3.jpg I don't think I could modify the Vangear units.
I was thinking I could negate modifying (cutting) the Vangear units by permanently removing the interior side panels, leaving it like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/62/36 ... 168a56.jpg
Can anyone see where I'm going with this? I would really appreciate some advice on whether you think these Vangear units could work as a side conversion and still leave enough room for a decent side rock and roll bed.
Thanks as always
Steve
