My Transit Project ....

[Blackpoolste]

Tomorrow is bumper and painting day however not sure which way to with this one guys ....

Ive noticed the right side has taken a hit as the bumper is held on with cable ties ... and the indicator isnt sitting right so i need to see if this can be pulled out properly.

My dilemma is do i stick with the current grill or swap to a smiley grill? whichever way i go they will be colour coded, must admit i do like the current grill as its different, but i will mod both with a mesh grill and led's built in ... comments?

the speakers will be of little use to be honest
the impedence will be incorrect for a 12v stereo so they will sound a bit poo

couldnt be more wrong m8 tbh, had them wired up the other day, couldnt go max volume as the van was shaking with the bass lol, must admit have a decent head unit so this is probably making a difference but they sound really good.

well with plenty of time on my hands at the moment ive been dabbling

First off with the bumper and mk4 grill and while sitting in the Blackpool sun having a brew and staring at the bumper i had a thought what if i used the grill as a splitter

seems to work with a bit of modding .... so off i set ...
After a bit of heat gun treatment, cutting off bits n bobs I came up with this ...

Now dont forget this is my first time ever doing any sort of work with cars or even a van, its the midlife crisis im going thru , so the wife tells me personnally im quite impressed with how it turned out, just need to let it dry off and spray tomorrow once the filler has arrived, as it is a bit scabby

While that was resting I worked on the new smiley grill i picked up from a scrapyard for a tenner

After being sanded down and 2 coats of paint .... spent a lot of time on youtube watching how too's lol ...

The bumper mesh should be here monday to fill the hole

Also fitted my new rubber floor after a spray job too, seats back in and not looking too bad even if i say so myself ...





Now this is where I need some advice guys ....
Once the bumper was off , as I suspected its had a hit in the past and I need to know the best and easyiest way to fix this ... The wing is twisted slightly and headlights dont sit right from the hit, hopefully pics will help ...


Can I pull this out? If so how? or can i just take a lump hammer to it and knock it back out?
Hopefully someone can send me in the right direction .... Thanks in advance

yeah, wasnt sure how it would turn out but quite happy with result, gave it a good rub down and then used plasticoat spray paint ... it matches the ceiling as that is blue too with led lights embedded, will put a pic up soon.

Having a bit of a mare at the moment .... as i look more and more at the front end ive come to the conclusion she has had a bump in her past and someone has filled her all over, on the right wing its about an inch deep , now Ive reset the headlamp it shows the bonnet is twisted out of shape and full of filler also so im busy knocking filler off the wing to see whats underneath, that's if the bloody rain holds off

[Blackpoolste]

spent the day refitting the grill and spoiler, not looking too bad, next week its filling the wing and fitting a new roof spoiler with brake light I must be MAD!!
