Things I should worry about

Postby Tractorboy2421 » Mon Apr 08, 2013 9:22 pm

Hi folks,
Just joined - I've been offerd a swb 98/99
Transit for pennies, I am thinking of converting it to a day van,
& was wondering what I should look out for. It's been used on a farm, so is a bit smelly & showing 120k on the clock - 19 diesel & it has a sweet up & over tail door.
Hope someone can help out.
Cheers

Ps, prefer it to a t4 as well :-)
