Hallo,
Es tut mir leid, dass ich auf Englisch geschrieben habe, aber mein Deutsch ist noch nicht gut.
I have a question regarding steps which have to be taken to convert an VW T5 LKW Kasten van (3 seats) into an PKW van (5 seats) for personal use. Let me give you a little bit a background.
I'm about to buy VW T5 LKW which has divided cargo from driver (passenger) compartment. I would like to remove divider and install 2 seat California bench in the middle row. Also I would cut out and make passenger windows. Let's say I could do necessary work in couple of weeks. Later on I would add fixed cooker and water system. Do I need to install windows and seat bench in official garage shop or I am allowed to do it myself?
Where do I need to go to get approval to change car documents from LKW to PKW (also 3 seats to 5 seats)?
I wonder how should I proceed. Is there any difference in basic insurance (Haftpflicht) if car is registered as PKW or LKW? Where do I go to re-register Van from LKW into PKW once I make necessary changes e.g. nr. of seats/passengers that can ride in the van? Do I need change something in insurance policy once I re-register to PKW?
Should I buy basic insurance, convert the Van and then re-register in Zulassungsstelle?
Thanks for any help in the answers.
