	Hi all Have just bought a 1999 Mercedes Vito for my next camper project. Its a 2.2 turbo diesel auto with a decent spec, elevating roof etc. The interior is really basic and needs a complete refit. So far I have replaced the front discs and pads, rebuilt the the rear brakes and handbrake,uprated the alternator and fitted a new water pump and drive belt. She now drives really well, quite quick compared to a t4 and pretty good on fuel. Here's some pics

	Looks nice mate. Love that yellow on a camper better than plain old white.

	Yep, Yellow suits it well. It should eventually get some graphics and decent wheels. Inside will have the lining carpet replaced,new unit for the drivers side, no gas in this one as I will be fitting an induction hob. Picking up a rock and roll bed tomorrow and this will be mounted using the standard factory mounts in the floor so that I can make it removable. Cheers

	Nice vito. I bought one about a year ago now with the intentions of converting it to a camper, however unfortunately it was blown to bits on the M5 by a lorry that failed to stop for a road closure. With that I can confirm they hold up very well in an impact! I think that we will see an increase in converted vitos, along with things like traffics, transits and other models due to the prices of the T4 going through the roof. I liked mine and would have another, I think they're pretty awesome. I look forward to seeing your bed, I'm looking at some for my T4.
