OK here goes..... this is the one I'm been given soon
H reg Transit 190 twin wheel 2ltr petrol. In need of lost of tlc.




The window got knocked out! The bits are still intact, but more rust than metal....could be interesting...


Any tips on repairing window surrounds and replacing the windows greatly apreciated!

Couple more pics.
This was the last one that went a couple of years ago.
Taken just after I resprayed him. I think he was a 160, he was the next weight down from a 3500 but on single wheels, apparently a beefed up lwb?
Engine was 2,5Di, note the 6 stud wheels.


This was my first MK3....

Did think, but I'd prefer to keep the windows, for some strange reason!

Looks good for an "H" reg.
Somerset plates (Taunton), like mine!

- from the outside!! She had new rear arches about 3 years ago, done by one of the school's maintanance guys who was an expert welder and sprayer, poor guy died from bowel cancer about 18months ago - very sad.

The window surround looks a bit grim inside, i've felt round the where the carpet meets the edge and it feels like the inner skin has rusted away.

I guess the coach builders must have been from down Somerset way, the school had it from new and we're up in Cheshire.
