But if it goes on ebay put a link to it in the ebay section!!!

Is this it?

If so fitting PAS is a little more difficult you will need a power steering box (quite rare) would be better to convert the whole lot to IFS!!

sorry i was thinking mk4 when i said mk3!!

very very hard to find pas , also i would need to see proof of the milage of this van ,looking at under the bonnet with all the rust seems very strange! with 6k on the clock it should be mint! also the picks dont do it any justice cant see hardly anything! looks like a normal ex ambulance with high miles on it! see if you can get some better picks , there sould be no rust on this van anywere with that millage , if you can get a better pick of the dash and inside i will soon tell you if the millage is correct or not!

oh and johnny is that a transit 230 you have there in your picky????

in my experience vehicles from airports are rotten because of the amount of salt they keep on the runways i had a "P" reg trany truck from london city airport it was a maintanance truck and had all but snapped in half because of the salt and it was only 6 years old when i got it

[ovlov]

We went to see a ford d series with 16k on it couple of years ago
ex airport couldnt belive how rusty the chassis was with salt they put on

[jonnyshag]

Yeah this is it, the cab has rust cos its been stood outside on a airport base for 13 yrs , inside is very clean , the seats are like there never been sat in ,very comfy not hard and wone, there is history with the van but ive not seen it yet as the van isnt mine ,its ashame it does not have power steering or i would of bought it

[madmark]

pas was a option that the ambulances never had much dont know why ! you would have thourt that even when they went to the 2.9 they would of had it but they didnt!
