Crew Cab Extended Recovery

Postby johns » Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:23 pm

Here are a couple of pictures of my beloved Transit!

Its a 1995 190 LWB which started life as a tipper. The guy before me had the chassis professionally extended by 900mm in the centre and a recovery body fitted.

It's done 150000 miles and with the good old none turbo 'banana' engine does plod on when fully laden! I've just spent the weekend upgrading it with a turbo engine! I'll post pictures in the project area.

Since I've had it I've completely stripped the interior and re-sprayed it, fitted the comfy captains chairs and the standard ford cd player. It also had to have a heater matrix after filling the cab with antifreeze!

On the outside I've had it re-sprayed in Silver and fitted the marker lights and the beacon bar on top.
