Hello!
My name is Bernd and I just bought a Transit mk1 in Colombia. I'm originally from Germany but I'm traveling around South America at the moment.
It's a 1967 mk1 with a 2.8 V6 cologne engine. The engine is paired with a Ford C3 autobox, much to my annoyance (it's horrible!)
Mint condition overall but far from being original. Has anyone ever seen windows like that in a Mk1 and no side door at the back?
I signed up here because I am thinking of doing some work on this. But since I am not a mechanic and don't have much experience, I am here looking for help
I definitely need to get rid of the autobox and find some suitable replacement. Next, I'll be needing a new carb or better yet fit an EFI on to it. Getting parts around here is extremely difficult, so if anyone has some parts lying around, I'd be happy to hear form you!
Here are some pics:
See you soon!
Bernd
