The Sprinter's look grows on me. I like the Aerodynamic wedge shape. It
looks much better than the American van with the huge fiberglass top
installed.

I have seen a few which owner has made conversion and they are cool. I
am itching to do a conversion on one but I have too many vehicles
already.

It will make an excellent mini motorhome which still fits into a normal
parking spot.
