Van Purchase
I'm thinking a bench, vise, pin kit, etc.
Any help will be appreciated.
It's empty now but I need to fix a few door locks and then secure it.
Any advice on protecting the van will also be appreciated.
Thank you guys!

(tons of great photos deleted)
It is alarmed with a 2 way alarm and has a remote starter that I had professionally installed. All windows have wire mesh, except the front and are lightly tinted. The tint from outside is like a mirror but seems almost clear from inside.
It's carpeted to deaden road noise and it helps with insulating it. The walls and roof are also insulated. it gets cold in the winter here and hot in the summer, so AC is also used and blown to the back with a small 12 volt fan in the front.
110 volt power is supply by an inverter connected to it's own battery. it is isolated from the main starter battery so that I never drain my main but both charge from the alternator.
These pictures are from a couple years ago, since then I added more to it but this should give you a good idea of how to set yours up.

Lets say your in the back working while the van is running and someone passing by sees a running van and decides to take it but you are stuck in the back leaving the entire from on reachable. Are there van controls in the cage?
