Actually progressed a little recently :shock:

Fitted new second-hand drivers door, to replace dented rusted one,
bought a repair panel for my r/h rear door at last,
and currently got my front grille off for a make-over 8)
Pictures tomorrow :?: ...Watch this space :arrow:

New rims for your Transit sir? Ooh, suits you sir! Suits you!

New rims for MY Transit.
Bored of my 8-spokes, so picked up these just now. Same size - 7X16".
There's a fifth to come as a spare, so when I get that I'll be having these re-drilled,
then get the tyres swapped over.
My 8 spoke Wellers for sale soon! Watch this space 8)
