[newquay123]

hi there,
have just bought my first transit its a 1996 120
has 112k on the clock (thought this was rather good? )
have alot of crazy ideas for it lol
got some pics to make you all wet













these seats are going in the front just the pair no centre passenger



started doing the cambelt yesterday in the rain of course being cornwall lol so made a makeshift awning




took the fan completly off this was a joy :/


old belt haha only a couple of teeth


new one on with a little help from a helpful forum member (dnt remember his name off hand)
but thank you


once fitted turned over by hand a locked half turn so thought was timmed out by 180* so just
incase took rocker off and checked to make sure everything was ok but ....






so all went well untill we found this
once we have bought a new rocker shaft/lifter
hopefully will continue with more pictures

and my gear knob


heat sprayed the rear drums

what does the green button on the dash do on the gear knob picture ?

[jolly olly]

I would guess it's for the roof beacon.

I would guess it's for the roof beacon.

nope i have a switch on the right hand side of the dash for that
it must be connected up to something as has power to it with a green light

and cheers hasnt been too bad so far, its actually great on rust only the wings and a little bubbling on the rear arch's and rear doors underside has seen a welder in the past but only a couple of patches. was a farm vehicle so i guess the cow sh*t and dirt has protected it
i think the 1st show im going to is "fordfair" in august
but im hoping it has been lowered and a set of alloys by then exhaust etc
