Luke's Tourneo GLX

[Luke]

My latest addition to my fleet





As i bought it in a presentable condition this will be a long term project it's my daily driver non turbo, no aircon but it is an 8 seater GLX

plans are- in no particular order

full chassis waxoil and underseal - very important priority
clear indicators + twin headlights
change the alloys - ideally some 18" but i've got a stock of transit tyres to go through 1st so it might not be for a while
connect arches - like transittrev and rob-xcar
limo tint the back window and front side windows
panel over the back 2 side windows in steel
general tidy of the body, eventually new wings arches and a back door repair panel
mk4 grill modded like martins
nice steering wheel
might have to lower it a bit
remote central locking conversion (allready got central locking)
alanN style back lights - but done in metal
thinking about doing something with the dash but not sure what yet
and either a cyco type bumper if i can get one or a laguna splitter like gasretro did
fit my cb and get it working

think thats about it for now - i'll update as i progress

Nice colour Luke...
It will be like the "Back Bone of Britain" outside your house soon

[jay]

you will be having a mk6 soon then and maybe a mk7 in a year or so later..

allready is and i like the colour too - it'll be staying that colour for a long time yet

nah i did want a mk6 at one point but mk5's have got more charecter

Love that
Miss mine

yours was spot on and it's one of them i'm pinching ideas off for this

[Gavin]

nice...ive owned a mk5 as long as a mk4 and the mk5 dash still feels like a bit of an imposter, retro dash it to mk4

it's funny you say that i think the same i prefer the boxy design of the mk3/4 dash but realistically the time it'd take to do i couldn't justify it as i dont dislike the mk5 dash i just prefer the mk3/4 one

I love the bus luke before i brought my pepper red one, I won one exactly the same on ebay but the seller changed his mind and wanted to keep it mind you it was not as clean as yours

[transitandy]

My latest addition to my fleet

a laguna splitter like gasretro did


i'll update as i progress

When i saw the splitter on gasretro's i thought it was a good idea so i went to my local breakers and got one for a fiver, I was going to fit it to my old bus but im now going to fit it to my crew cab

Just hear the nieghbours now.... 'He's got another F&*&^%'... 'oh, morning luke'

[Luke]

small update - waxoiled the chassis last weekend and i've now fitted clear indicators and repeaters



i've also won a RS steering wheel off ebay but it's been lost in the post got the boss but it's not much use without a wheel so for now thats the only mod

i think i'll sell the tourneo alloys and fit the wellers on this for now but i'm not sure they will fit the n/s rear with the sliding door having a trim on it

i'm also collecting panels for this so if you have any cheep let me know i'm in no rush but i want wings and front arches mainly
