I am sort of obsessed with creating a 'crew van' version of the PM.

This would be a regular van with two seats up front, and a bench seat right behind, with storage area in the back - behind the sliding door area.

As you can see there are a bunch of euro manufacturer's who do this, but importing a bulkhead this size would have an incredibly expensive freight charge

To do this, I think it would be nice to have the factory bulkhead moved backward so that it is just behind the sliding door. This would be a good safety feature in case of accident.

Are there any owners with a bulkhead of the van, who could advise on the practicality of this?

Here are some good photos of the rear cargo area and the bulkhead; as you can see, there are good strong framing elements behind the sliding door that may be able to be adapted to take the stock factory bulkhead.

What do you think?

I like it. You could probably make that look factory.

PS: Every time some sphincter clencher whinges on about non-certified mods being dangerous, god kills a kitten.

I was wondering if you actually took any steps towards this idea.
I am seriosly considering diy option of that.
But my progress is a little slow, i only have time for it on weekends.

Nice!

Couldn't have that... I never get my better-half out of those sweet loungers. I'd get stuck doing all the driving!

Driving in the PM is good driving.

I drive a Promaster with a Snoeks Crew Van upfit, its by far the best solution on the market as it looks OEM! I know FR-Conversion does the Snoeks Crew Van upfit. http://frconversions.com/vehicles/promaster-cargo-utility-van/ for anyone who is also interested.
