Hi everyone I'm new to this forum, I have an early mk2 1979 T reg with a 2.5di engine fitted, what I'd like to know is would a mk1 bullnose front end fit? I've read before something about the front springs/ spring hangers been longer on the mk2, so would it be possible to fit mk1 springs and hangers?
You're probably wondering why I don't just go out and buy a mk1, well the reason being is my mk2 is an ice cream van that I bought with the intensions of removing the fibreglass body, freezers and soft ice cream machine and putting it all on a mk1 because I know the body would be a direct fit with mk1 and mk2 being the same shape shell, but when looking at the mk2 that I have bought, the inner wings, doors etc are very solid and putting a mk1 front end on the mk2 would save me an incredible amount of work and the thousands of pounds for a doner vehicle.
And before anyone asks (But most of you will probably know) there isn't any Transit mk1 ice cream vans for sale anywhere, they're as rare as hens teeth nowadays.
Thanks for reading any advice would be much appreciated
Mick
