But its worked out for the best if I decide to get mine done either to sell or keep. What d'you reckon Gaz, d'you think you could get mine like these on here?

Now a previous bidder has been in touch offering £400 cash & will collect next day. Last week a garage offered me £400 for it or £600 to do the work.

I'm only just beginning to realise the worth of the mk 5's & liking mine a lot more. But it takes soooooooo long to do all that work doesn't it? How long did it take for yours?


I think you're a bit harsh on your van Jo :? If you want it like that, there's no reason why it can't be like that 8) All it needs is time and a bit of patience, would be well worth it, and yours has the full high roof as well :D We'll get it really nice if that's what you want :D 8)
If you want a real van.......You gotta get a Transit!!!!

Rustygreen whispered to me today that she's always had the ambition to be re-born & made a star of the transit forum :D
