Fiat Scudo Conversion - ply lined, quick release rear sets, side windows, etc.
Hi all,
Thinking of converting your Scudo, Expert, Dispatch. I decided to convert my 2007 Fiat Scudo Van. Lots of people went Yuck
! Why would you bother, its a Fiat, not a VW. Well its half the price, and once yea fix all the issues (failing lights, clutch, flywheel, etc.) its a pretty OK van. I managed to do it for under £1,400, and its a pretty decent job I must admit myself. Cheap and Cheerful!
What I Did:
Ply lining & Felting
Gutted it first.
Ply-Lined the floor (doubled up on 5 mm)
Ply-Lined the sides and Roof (3mm)
Felted Sides and roof - (This part takes time, worth watching a few clips on You tube before starting this process)
Lined floor with industrial none slip flooring (get it from most flooring stores)
Fitted Interior Lights - (hooked power from wiring for Cigerette light at rear of van)
Fitting the seats: (see pics) - fairly straight forward. (bought them of ebay, brand new - quick release mechanism)
Fitted Tracks (Captive nuts already built into chasis for most holes)
Fitted seats
Fitted seat belts (see pics)
Relatively straight forward. (Bought Univeral belts/Buckles a little bit of head scratching, but used front ones as a guide)
Fitted Tinted side windows (see pics)
Bought these from ebay, good price
could have installed these myself, but got a mate to them as he was a professional window fitter. At this point the wife is winging about the amount of time spent on it, so it was less head ache for someone else to do this.
She's now ready for Action!
Had a few Surf weekends in it + Family camping - kids/dog/surfboards, buggie, bikes, etc. It'll take pretty much everything you can imagine stuffed in the back or on the roof! The removable seats are very handy for when me and the dog head off for a surf weekend. Just chuck in a mattress and away yea go! Am I glad I did it? Definitly, the pleasure I get just driving it now makes it all worth while!
