My trusty but rusty MK6 fwd

[edz27]

So here's a few pics of my mk6 6 the first transit I've ever owned, it must of had a hard 15 yrs with no care considered at all and then just px'd when it was on its last legs, although the engine seems spot and starts first time I've had a few initial electrical probs to sort along with the clutch master cylinder to change, the biggest problem tho is the amount of rot underneath now im no stranger to a angle grinder and welder so im hoping ive not bitten of more than I can weld here a pic of the van and what ive done so far

















Now this bit was a shock


plans just keep it road worthy for now then who knows

Now this bit was a shock

That's one of the normal rust areas on these, sadly

Nice neat job on the wheel arches

[edz27]

As well as all the welding at the rear I also need to do the inner front sills, now ive seen this part for sale but don't think I need the section that goes up into what I presume is behind the wheel arch can I cut the up right section off and use whats left to repair the inner sill or is there another repair section available?

Ul have to chop it off mate and just patch it into good metal

[edz27]

Got a few more bits done found a local supplier 5 mins from me a little bit dearer but no postage https://www.crashrepairparts.com/session/login
probably done wrong part first but hay ho it'll look the same when done hardest part is finding fresh metal to weld to,

[edz27]

Ended up cutting the wheel arches of as I wasn't happy trying to fit the inner arch with the arch in place, I had to weld it back together as I had cut it to try and make it fit















And then onto the other side













And the left over bits

Wow, epic job, well done

[Altransit]

Nicely done

The inner wings looked OK on your van, mine were rotten

I cant beleave there is no paint or anything inside the sills etc.
No wonder they rot.
I really need to blather mine with wax old. Been gunna do it since it was new and its nearly 4 yrold now.
