Transit mk 3 ,89 campervan help please!!

Postby Dave-j2008 » Thu Apr 13, 2017 10:11 pm

Hi everyone, this is the first time ive, posted on any forum of any kind but I'm in need of some advice from people on here with much more knowledge of transits than me.
So I've been restoring a 1989 transit hi top camper with my dad since sept 2016, and last weekend we finally got paint on her after many sub zero weekends and father son arguments, the van was in a very bad way when we got it....rot everywhere, but she's OK now.
I would like to know a few things really, 1 is will a Mk 5 transit back bumper fit my mk3 as when we started we pretty much got the back end of a Mk 5 dropped at my house and used back pillars etc on our van, the Mk 5 bumper is in much better condition so would like to use that really, will I just have to buy the end caps that wrap around to the wheel arch?
2 is will a Mk 4/5 front bumper fit as just to keep my options open when shopping around for a new one?
3 is there anywhere anyone knows of where I can buy interior trim clips and mirror plastics clips as most of ours our either broke or missing, also we been a couple of those little plastic wing but things for the front lights,
I think thats all for now but I'm sure there will be a hundred and one more things come up as we start putting her back together lol
