cracking job m8 ,my experience with these mk3/5 transits is that the mk3 for some reason seems to weather better than the later ones up to about g/h reg ,i prefer the mk3 front with the smaller lights
if its got tits or wheels its always gonna end in trouble !!!
anyone can restore a van but it takes a real man to chop it up !!!
