Yeah, it's easy when you say it that quick isn't it!
Welcome to the forum Bill. Jeez, where do you start? Took me 5 years to turn mine into a pick-up!
Can we see some photos?

Three options-
Buy a Forson van body to restore. Rare as hens teeth and hard work.
Build your own steel body. Very  hard work
Buy grp body. Very expensive @ around £3000
Good luck.

Yep that's the one.
Personally think I'd try to make my own, Partly because I prefer the longer doors of the pop but mainly because I'm an idiot  :P :D

Not forgetting of course the need to tell DVLA which 99% of the time triggers an inspection.
