If it was as in the picture a few things dont add up, the prop or lack of one would warrant a picture all on it's own. The fuel tank must now be inside so again a picture would exist for sure. The rear springs would need severe modding and a picture would have been taken. On the actual picture we have there is a 'fault' or possible plate on the roof but I think after all that work if real then no 'fault' would be seen.

I am so glad this wasn’t a Photoshop job, this van is the absolute dog’s nuts

Oh, and stevew & Fred- Fortunately i don’t have an angle grinder, or have the patience to use a junior hacksaw :D .

(although a tourneo version would be kind of a Ford "Multipla", only not as ugly :twisted: )

the prop is just a shortened standard prop,the fuel tank will be on the inside but not fitted yet(100e ford pop tank)the rear spring front hangers sit inside the door steps now,and the"fault"on the roof is where the join is as the van isnt completed yet,will get some more pictures on to show its not photoshop(when it stops rainin :roll: ) just wasnt sure ov reaction it would get,thanx hitman
another shot for nowImage[/url]


It's a C reg! :shock: Please tell me the bits you cut out were beyond repair, cos this is one of the first Mk3s.

Ok I will stand corrected :oops:

Perhaps had you posted the other pics as per Members Transit Progress none of us would have doubted you ;) I am not sure how it will handle as cornering will be um sort of interesting possibly like the old Suzuki Rhino's were back in the 80's. But big up's to you for going this mad.

BTW you know you have to respray it in Red and buy a Postman Pat outfit.
