Hi there,

What sort of modifications are you after? Looks like that car is already
ready for a wheelchair. It's got a ramp and space for the wheelchair in the
middle.

From the looks of the picture...seems like those pictures are taken
overseas....

You can try to ask some body shops to do it...but I tell you this...these
kinda mods. are very rare in Malaysia...Yes, I know you see in Astro
Americans can do crazy stuff to their cars, but in malaysia, the most you
can do are skirtings, ICE, rims and a paint job...but no harm in checking
out some reputable body shops for custome works..but be prepared for the
price....regarding the ramp..you can checkout some factory automation and
engineering workshops to do it. So, its not only 1 shop you have to go to.

Some of my crazy friend who customize their cars even get parts from
ebay. Its that bad in Malaysia..

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your post. Anyway, I think most of it have to be
custom made. That car is so rare here in New Zealand. Where abouts are you
from? did you check with Renault? You can maybe check with Mobility
companies or Mobility transport services as well. Maybe they have an idea.
Cheers!

Yeah I did! I find out a nearby workshop but they only do mods for the
disable such as hand clutch, brake & etc.

You can try contact:

Persatuan Mobiliti Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur - Mobility Association of
Kuala Lumpur and Selangor
http://www.mobiliti.org.my/
Letter Box 21, Room 9, 4th Flr, Wisma Sultan Salahuddin Abd Aziz Shah, 16
Lorong Utara A, 46200 Petaling Jaya
Tel: 03 7957 7255, Fax: 03 7957 7266

To ask them where they do the hyraulic ramp at their Ford transit.

Or:

Pusat Latihan Perindustrian dan Pemulihan Orang Kurang Upaya (PLPP)
Sungai Merab Bangi.

Will keep on up-dateing!

Hi, MedicTM

1st of all, thx for the info.

I always use the service provided by Mobiliti, the hydraulic platform was
done in Shah Alam.
If u look carefuly at the pictures, the floor needs to be lowered which I
am still looking for the correct person.
I will try to contact PLPP, thx.
