New recovery

[motorwise]

lol just noticed there's passengers in the van!

did they come free? - are you allowed to keep them?

[bortaf]

Yep
MacyD's was busy
It could be i've been driving a new gen the racks are much more direct than boxes so i could well have just got used to it
Graphics are coming off soon as i find the hairdryer they've only been on there a few months so hopfully they won't leave a mark

Out of interest it is possible to change the backs on these to a covered box?

Or buy similar?

We were discussing it a while ago as a more suitable cab than the van cab for a family.. your thoughts?

Nice vehicle buy the way...

[bortaf]

I've seen crewcab lutons so it has/can be done, just a case of unbolting the recovery body and slapping a luton on the back, this one was a tipper previously

Hooray! Bortaf's back on the road! Nice clean Mk3 mate.

Life soon got back to normal though
got oil leak that started today , coming from behind the timing belt cover, gonna do the belt anyway so time to see what oil seals gone

On the up side i replced a tiny weeny bit of metal in the winch control and i now have a winch swapped a spare set of beacons that were in the back for some ramps cleaned the offside headlight earth so i have 12V lights instead of 6V ones
Oh and i plugged the fan resistor back in and i have a 3speed fan

For some reason soneone has pulled the wires for the int light down and used em to power the radio so got to do that, took out the dash bulb covers and replaced the bulbs with blue 5W ones, real easy to see now
can anyone ID this winch?
no stickers on it

Nice clean mk3, not many around these days in that nick. Good find mate.

Fitted a radio sub loom from a sierra i'm breaking, ripped out all the old stuff now have a 2007 radio cassette with 4 speakers facility all on a ford loom so looks nice behind the dash .
Changed the heater pannel bulb (what a pain) and the ciggy lighter bulb now have full illumination
Next got to wire the roof lights (also cut) and find some minibus switches to run the beacons (use an int light switch on tother side of dash so the little pic is of a light pointing up instead of down (i can be a right tart at times)
