I'm sure I'll find somewhere else for it :!: . I'm currently making a switch panel in the roof to take the ones which were in the pod...

Altransit and Co made us very welcome :D , and although we can't get to any other gatherings over the summer, we plan to go to the September Ace Meet. That's your next chance :D . Hopefully there will be more than one Mk3 next time.....

Thanks transitandy :D . It was our first "meet", and although there weren't many vans, we were made very welcome and had a good time.

Thanks Alan, it looks perfect. How much?
Does it have a max psi rating on it?

Thoroughly depressed by the weather. Work on the van has ground to a halt. So here's a few more pictures from earlier in the year when we actually had some sunshine....

Lovely bit of 4x4 kit.....
silly question, but do you think being a 4x4 - and therefore higher up, has helped with the rust?? ie its not getting as much sh*t thrown up under the chassis??

Do like the look of a lifted tranny.....went offroading a few years back and a tatty white transit turned up and asked if he could have a go..loads of the guys were pissing them selves, until he went everywhere on the course they went. and even through a sog hold that no one else had managed.....
he came back to the car park, had a cup of tea and just potttered off..Gotta love the county !!!!!

I always wanted a rusty disco - rip the body off and throw a transit mini bus body on it :)
do they do a 100" transit????
Yam Yam from yamyam land ayit ??
Bostin' ay it?
