My latest...MK3

Postby Transitwalla » Sat Jun 17, 2006 10:30 pm

Yo, recently acquired this from eBay :) . And better now I've managed to get a decent sized picture on here

Chassis is sound :) , unlike the MK5, backdoors need replacing soon :( as does the drivers and sideloading doors :( .

The engine had gone bang :( with 10months MOT still left on it, but, various events meant it was relisted on eBay earlier this month... at which point it became my latest project :) with 2 weeks MOT left :(. For a MK3 it aint in that bad a nick :) and I've seen way worse in newer MK4's and MK5's [I have a worse condition MK5 :( ].

All in all I think it will make a good van...especially as I'm using the MK5 as the donor vehicle :wink:

Pictures available as and when I make mods to it... Mondeo clocks....smiley front and doors...keeping the MK3 dash though as the laptop sits just nicely in the middle of it :D with a bit of help from Velcro. :)

A portable tv on the dash will keep the kids happy on a long run :D . Typically in a year we do these destinations from Loughborough...

Dover
Pembrey [Sth Wales]
Anglesey
Cadwell Park

and some others that are nearer :) ....usually when we've been on the motorway for minutes [not hours] when the kids start with the ARE WE THERE YET question :( at least if they can watch a video / dvd it'll keep them quieter :) but then they'll argue about which video / dvd to watch :(

tv on the dash in view of the driver is illegal whilst on the move.

fixed mine up in the back so the shits mean kids are entertained.
