My most sincere apologies Alan :(
Keep forgetting :lol:

Besides, the van looks a right state at the moment,
what with all this salt on the roads, and my lack of progress on the back end.

Wanted to jet-wash it tonight, but it's just TOO COLD!!

Looking good this.
I wondered if a mk3/4 grill would fit on a 5 and I guess they do :) Good work, really like where this is going.

Mk3 wouldn't because headlights are different.
I had to move one of the mounting brackets to fit the mk4 grille, no drama.

Been off the road for 5 days :shock:
http://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78685
It's been horrible :(

Sorted now though :D Happy Days :D Back on the road

Decided I'm going to ditch the banana inlet manifold + EGR + airbox in the new year.
Going to use a pre-banana inlet manifold, and hope to build some sort of ram air system
and have a dirty great air scoop on the bonnet.
Ideally, one like this:

but they tend to fetch big dollar,
so probably end up with something more like this:

Not looking to race it. It'll just be for the look :twisted:
