Conversion just completed for customer on a LB Transit Connect. 6 foot bed, seats recline, storage under bed, cubbie, and bed is removable for cargo transport. See pics attached. Some specific requirements: keep the space open behind the seats, 6 foot bed that can sleep two full size adults, have the seats fully recline, cargo storage for tall items when needed, removable bed panels, and easier access for in/out for mobility requirements. It was one of the more complicated simple conversions, but the result was optimal in the end. These vans are super small and to fit two full size adults on a wide bed is a challenge for sure.

nice job, i almost bought a connect until i found out the drive train self destructs at 80,000 miles, that and it was just too small. this forum is for the full size ford transits! you might want to try: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum228/ or: http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/

That looks great! I see a couple of other vans in your pics, do you convert professionally?

I like how the side panels are finished, makes good use of the wall cavities. I may end up with something similar.

I too looked at these vans but wanted a moto inside - I needed bigger. These are cool and get awesome MPG.

Thanks for posting. I think all van builds should be included - we are all converting metal boxes, why not exchange ideas?

Have you ever put solar panels on the roof?
