Nice! A transit will last forever if you look after it properly, my first one did over 300k miles before it became uneconomical to repair. What's the reasoning behind removing the bulkhead? I'd probably feel more comfortable knowing that there was something super solid between me and the motorbike in the back of the van in the event of an accident.

It happened. I got my van today.
Short version, I bought a trials bike last year, decided I wanted to pursue that. Of course, that meant I needed a car license and needed a van. Took until a couple months ago to get the license, long delays for tests. Took until today to get the van, long delays by the friend I was buying from. His house move was delayed from December til this past week.
Regular low roof short wheelbase 2013 Transit. Long enough to lay down in the back of.
What’s the plan?
Folding Murphy bed on one side for overnighting, and trials bike on the other side. Soothed to sleep by the smell of 2-stroke.
Remove solid bulkhead, place cage instead.
Replace passenger double bench seat for single seat.
That’s about it, apart from maybe parking sensors or dashcam or whatever.
I have been complaining about the little Golf 1.2… and now I take it all back. This thing is an experience.
