Hi all, New here, ditched cars in favour of a Tranny Van

Postby CodeRed » Mon Sep 04, 2017 8:12 pm

I've decided to get rid of the car after being offered a cheap 03 SWB, gonna use it as a daily driver and If I get on alright with it I'll probably invest in a cleaner/newer one. Its a bit tatty and the gears are a bit stiff to get in, especially reverse but with it being so cheap I don't mind it needing a bit work!

From the North East, County Durham area if anyones local! :D

How cheap is cheap?

Have a dam good look underneath and prod around for the transit killer RUST, a cheap van isn't cheap if it costs over a grand in welding. N
RUST IS LIGHTER THEN CARBON FIBRE

I'm not saying incase i need to sell it :P

I checked the usual rot areas and its already had a fair bit welding done, worst part is actually in the roof above the rear door but I can weld that up!, It was cheap due to the shabby condition of the paintwork really!
