The previous owner completely stripped the interior and installed sound insulation, along with a new ceiling and floor. The ceiling features LED spotlights and a fibre optic "star ceiling".

In the summer of 2025, I had the entire mechanical side of the vehicle professionally restored by a well-known American vehicle specialist. Four years earlier, this same specialist had completely rebuilt the engine, and I have photos documenting the entire engine rebuild.

I then had the complete suspension, drivetrain, brakes, steering and other mechanical components overhauled. After the work was completed, the van passed its roadworthiness inspection with only one minor advisory: a small exhaust leak at one of the exhaust clamp joints.

It also received new tyres, LED headlights and an additional LED driving light.

The body has a few cosmetic areas that could use attention, but there is **no structural rust or rot**. Otherwise it would not have passed inspection. This has been my daily driver (except during winter), and it has always been stored in a dry garage throughout the winter.
