Dans work bus

Postby dannyboysean » Wed Jan 01, 2014 9:08 pm

hi to all....
have actually been a member for a while but 2 days after I bought my transit it was taken from us as there was still finance outstanding on it...long story, we did our checks but the seller was part of an organised crime syndicate etc...

anyway, we have a mk 6 transit swb that I've just purchased and here's what we've got planned:

1. update interior
2. new alloys
3. re spray in gloss black
3. new twin exit exhaust
4. chrome side steps
3. elec windows
4. dash led upgrades
5. re map
6. sunroof
7. indicator mirrors
8. mk7 front end conversion
9. side repeater mod
10. under body seal
11. rear racking for my job
12. rear light upgrade
13. mondeo or focus steering wheel
14. dvd & screen

and that's about it for now I think...
the van is falling apart at the minute so needs a lot of work!!!!...wont start and theres diesel all over top of engine at injectors...dead battery aswell...

Looks ok but have you checked underneath these as that's where they rot across the back/floor/rear valance etc also the in side of the sills ?

I would suggest a good service using ford genuine filter air ,oil,fuel and using 5/30 fully synthetic oil

And a little bit of body work on the rust

Scottish reg as well are you from scotland/Glasgow area

no mate, live in sunny Preston...

as I said, the bodywork is shagged so has to be put right... have a donor transit so between the 2 of them should make a good one...
