It`s always cool to see the customising trends and ideas from other countries, Thanks for posting......

Even though I`m not a fan of "bug-face" front-ends, I did find this use of headlamps on an old-style van interesting and original.

Any Lambo door conversion is never easy and requires alot of skill to make it open and close perfectly, plus to make everything look 'factory' when the door is closed.

But the most amount of skill needed is to beable to get in and out of the van through the skinny 12 inch or less gap that the door opens to....... Too much work and totally impractical IMHO, reserved for 'trailer queen' showcars only.
