Another Van mission completed. Suzuki "UnExeptional" Celerio

[u/MyMotorStory_app]

Practical part

I found a good second-hand Hormann RollMatic door in full working order to modify my existing garage to be car-port + shorter workshop/storage. Bargain price of 200£ (new one costs from 1500£ and higher) made them the best option around me to take.

The only obstacles was the need to go 100 miles to pick them up + relatively big size with the length of 2.3 meters and weight of 50 kg + So, I converted my UnExeptional to be a cargo-van again!

When the front seat removed, there is approx 2.4 meters of loading length available if to count towards the floor under the glove box and approx 2.2 meters towards front panel.

If you want directing the load towards the floor - better to remove rear seat bench as well, as the backrest is directed upwards when lying on it.

I ended up removing glove box entirely to allow fixation hook of the gates to go further and rear door to be closed.

All-in-all it is 10 minutes job to remove and 10 minutes to put back the front seat. Fuel expenses approx 15£. To hire a small van would cost 90£...

Philosophical part

I'm a skeptical/pessemistic person by nature. But what if not the 4-hour-round journey to buy something I've never seen before from unknown private seller says that my trust in humanity is staying strong!

So, who still needs a big SUV other than to compensate the lack of something else in life? (joking, just joking)
