Hi all
Well... Its been 11 years since owning a smiley Semi high roof in white with the legendary banana engine, & i am about to buy another one! (Last chance in my opinion, before old diesels are thrown off the road etc)
So the van is a bit untidy inside, first job to give it a real good tidy up. Im just wondering if you transit veterans can advise me to any fairly easy / reccomended mods / jobs which will make this van a nice experience to drive etc. Its had a basic service / recent cam belt change.
Ill be immediately priming it and going for a nice metallic blue Spray paint (any brand reccomended / or ive heard of "rollering" - I want to avoid the very dull white paint work so any suggestions appreciated. Ive noticed the gearstick is a bit low, drivers seat is a bit worn on the door side, wondering what seats are reccomended doners to a mk5 (got access to scrap yard with a variety of cars for spares etc) Could even repair the chair & stick seat covers on it.
Ill also be wire brushing the undercarriage & lightly treating with rust protector.
Due to pick her up saturday. will get some pics up if everything goes smoothly.
Respect, Dan
