So the good bits:
The cab is nice, clean and tidy.
Good plastics and carpet and everything works.
Just been serviced and runs well.
I like the colour and it has the electrics pack re mirrors, heated windscreen and fog lights.
Bad bits/faults: (I'm being comprehensive and somewhat picky here - some are just upgrades)
1 ) Casing of driver's mirror has chunk out of it.
2 ) Only had one remote.
3 ) One tyre barely legal.
4 ) Grill is detached from body and body is cracked and broken around grill.
5 ) Headlights are not aiming correctly
6 ) Side door doesn't lock with the other doors but does if I press the lock button for a second time - Is this right ??
7 ) Side door doesn't open readily every time. Sometimes you need to pull it out at the right hand side to get it to open correctly - Need to investigate this.
8 ) Underside is sound but covered in surface rust in areas.
9 ) Some corrosion around some of the wheel arches.
10 ) There is a hole in the side of the driver's seat with the foam also damaged.
11 ) I fancy fitting a Blaupunkt 230 Stockholm DAB BT stereo (although I'd like to fit a double DIN stereo if I can find a way)
12 ) Quite a lot of scratches to the sliding door which looks like it might have come from another vehicle ??
13 ) Bulkhead squeaks and stops seats adjusting
14 ) Small dent near bottom of OS rear door.
15 ) Driver's seat belt is frayed more than I would like.
16 ) Carpet/Rubber mat wanted for rear load area.
Jobs done/parts bought

Job 8
I have purchased 2.5 litres of the surface preparation stuff that turns rust black and further protects the area. I already own 2 large Dynatrol stone chip paint cans & 4 large Dynatrol black rust protector. I will apply the surface prep then the stone chip and rust protector over the next week or so.
Job 9
I have purchased a set of "sport" wheel arches covers for £80 on Ebay. I will remove the rust that is there and use the protector (8) to protect the area before spraying it but then covering the wheel arches with the "sport" covers.
Job 10
I am hovering over a set of leatherette covers on Ebay. I quite like how the covers look with the mark 7 seats and as the foam is damaged I'm toying with purchasing both the drivers/passengers seats for a mark 7 and covering them, the headrests and arm rest although I am also looking at the possibility of covering the existing seats. This is the link to the ebay advert -http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-TRANSIT-MK7-2006-VAN-SEAT-COVER-MADE-TO-MEASURE-BLACK-QUILTED-A120A-/251352667413?hash=item3a85c95515:g:M0sAAOSwDlBTww0D and this is how they look:
Job 13
