>Is there any way to modify a standard, single sliding door to a double?

I had a LHD Bay for a while. Some PO had fitted a left slider into
it. It's a matter of knocking out the blank side panel and firring
the necessary bits from a wreck. I very much doubt there is any
reinforcing in the double-door vans.

I had a stock double-door 4WD Hiace and it was great.

VW makes its vans modular... both sides (RHD/LHD) have a side panel
in front of the rear quarterpanel, so the conversion is possible.
Japanese vans have a specific one-piece offside side/quarterpanel, so
a conversion would be far more difficult.
