Sprinter questions

Heys guys and gals - nneed a few questions answered in relation to ae86 sprinters
I needa dog hauler - and a cheap reliable second car - that still has some go to it - so im thinking a sprinter might be good
What i need to know is are the rear seats reclinable - ie lay flat like in a hatchback - and how much space can it accomidate .. Ill need something big enough to haukl around a Saint bernard - so space is of the wanting ..
Also what prices are we looking at for a decent one with a 4age or 4agze conversion done to it ? I hear these are much nicer powerplants than what they come out with so its a step in the right direction
Lastly - parts wise - is there any things there limiting getting spares for one ??

hehehe... sprinter a load hauler 
i'm sure the sprinter owners are offended
anyway, the sprinters are not that big even though the rear seats are reclinable
i had a KE rolla wagon before... even that is somewhat lacking in space
for the same money as a good sprinter, you could prolly get you hands on a corona wagon (83-86)...
i think they are a pretty good size and pretty robust

heh - the idea is to have the dog in the car for me to utilise the airconditioning ...
being a snow type dog they need to be cool or else they ultra slobber ..
Anyway - ill keep my eye out for something different ..
