Looks a bit rough underneath, but on top looks greats ! I always find the Mk1 the nicest looking of the transits, the classic look

Good luck with the restoration

I agree the mk1's are the nicest looking as for looking a bit rough I've had mk3 and mk4's much worse then this and dont forget the old girl is 38 years old cheers for your comments as im really gonna enjoy this one regards andy

Glad to see the van is getting put back in order. I am sorry, I had no idea it had got that rusty underneath.

You will have seen that I had some welding done where the rear passenger side leaf spring bolts on. I was told back then (a couple of year back) that the rest was pretty solid.

Just shows you what difference a year can make.

Hope it all goes well.

will be well worth it when all the rust is sorted , its a good looking solid camper ,the main things like the wings all look good in the photo,s

[transitandy]

Hi alan cheers for your comments im very excited and already planning my first trip

[transitandy]

Yes indeed mark the top half seems to be in good condition and the whole camper will be really solid once the weldings done now im thinking about a respray possibly blaze orage what colour should i go for or keep it as it is any comments are welcome

[madmark]
