Highlander
I assume you know the 'woodrim' Scorpio steering wheel is a rare item !
I have thought about fitting the top half of a Scorpio steering column to the Transit, get all those lovely stalks, radio remote, cruise e.t.c. , but I am a dummy with electrics, even worse with electronix.
I got a little black book with me poems in

Well thanks to AndyG I now have a lwb auto prop :) Thanks Andy :)

I have gone off my initial idea of fitting the standard Transit auto selector and am now customising a Scorpio selector which will still leave me all the Scorpio options such as Sport, Economy and Snow modes as well as allowing me to disable top gear (OD)

Going to take some pics then start stripping the van and the new donor car, I had an engine for it already but just picked up a lower milage one with new cats that I know is running perfectly.

I'm planning to take it to Slippy's next weekender in September if possible!

May the Force be with me! :D

With the exhaust this close :shock: to the servos on the transmission, you must consider fitting a heat shield :idea: :!:

Thanks
