my transit exactly how i found her last sunday

[studley73]

well here she is my mk1 1969 transit still with the 2.0 v4 in it. exactly how i found her suprisingly straight considering main bits it needs is bonnet, both front wings have gone along the edge by the doors the back doors have started to go along the bottom edges. it has no brakes wot so ever as the master cylinder is knackered and its non servo, was thinking about putting a mk2 servo and master cylinder on it but dont know if its possible tbh




she has had wait for it a camper interior out of a commer fitted to her in the 70s but i dont know if to leave this in or turn her back into her natural mini bus state this aint gonna be easy i know but i wont let it beat me

Welcome Paul,

Youve got my number if you need any help with this mate.

I think it could be more than you think but weve got my monster if you need any big parts etc collecting. Or we could use the reaper!!!

nice project

the mk2 servo will fit (sort of) but the early mk1 bulkhead* is different so its not a neat fit - almost worth going for a mk4/5/6 one and modernising it all

*check it does have the early bulkhead tho - do the pedals come through the floor it's got a few mk2 bits on allready

hello, this is nice and a bit rare as it appears to be a PSV (public service vehicle) as it has a destination blind on the front, does it have a makers plate on it? ive got a psv brochure with a pic of what your van might have looked like - link below
