Mk6-mk7 Conversion No 2 2006 Transit T280 100ps (PIC HEAVY)

[paul2012]

Finished welding in replacement panel.



Upon checking bottom catch on N/S rear door. It's bent & requires replacing.



Started to reassemble mk7 dash.

Painted up rear x-member



& centre section of front bumper.



Just need to clearcoat it

When to fit towbar......



Then realised that I have no O/S rear bumper reinforcement mounting. Original was missing along with reinforcement.

Without that mount, I can't fit bumper reinforcement, bumper or tow bar

Nice little project here Paul

I wonder if the bumper bar was missing before the bump

Nice little project here Paul

Yes It's not bad for a mk6, Its structurally sound. Just mainly cosmetic damage.

Onwer who's a member on here, has popped up & seen the work done so far. He's jumping with joy & can't wait until it's finished

I wonder if the bumper bar was missing before the bump

I am certain bumper reinforcement was removed due to fitted aftermarket parking sensors before it was rammed into the back of.
With reinforcement damage may not have as bad.

Yep my thoughts too as the brackets bolt to the chassis legs and the bar would of absorbed the impact

Nice work there paul.

To fit the mk7 rear lights do you just need the lenses or the bulb holder as well?

Bulb holders are the same for mk6 & mk7's
