my ex german mk1 fire van 1970

[Vandalism]

any pointers as to where to go to make cables up - i went to a motorcycle shop that made cables up but they said not for cars (the name was in the shop)

[madmark]

mate what i done i think was go to a motorfactors and ask to see transit cables that they have ,if they are helpfull then this should find you your cable, unfortunatly i never got the number off of the one i fitted and it was nealry 7 years ago so i have forgot
the cable was then fitted to another firevan conversion and then sold off as the van wasnt wanted anymore

[Vandalism]

thanks for the info, ill do that - so another later transit cable might fit

also a little update - van has now been assigned a reg number and has tax mot and insurence -
just have to finish the convertion now

[madmark]

the guys that are dooing your work look very good i am shure that they will think of a way to sort this cable problem
i thourt you were going essex v4????

[Vandalism]

theyre good - high standard but a price to match

and i am going v4 but not for a whilst - my main aim is to get the van up and running on the road then i can change the engine later - and obvously the v4 needs attention before i but it in so it gives me a bit of time to do that

hi pat - according to the man i bought it off he bought it in the late 70s for his van which was a 3 litre landliner but never fitted it and as for cost....not much compaired to what its worth (ive tried to find the cost of buying one of these..but cant find one so i recon its worth a bit )
i mean where can you find an original 70s custom skirt these days, especially for a transit

you ought to get a mould taken off it then you can sell a few i bet theres loads of buyers

[Vandalism]

thats been mentioned befor and i might look into it - it just depands on how much it costs to produce a mould and futher copys of the spoiler compared to the final sell price

[Vandalism]

more work done - its moving along very nicely






repair to pilar where door was bent backwards


front taking shape




work done on repairing pilar

so thats the upto date work - front end done - still waiting for clutch cable before it can progress but have found a company that can make one

[madmark]

these guys are good at the work they are dooing thats for shure

[Vandalism]

the main guy working on it use to have transits in the 70/80s so he knows what hes doing
but the other guys are equally as talented - very neat at welding aswell
