Guess whose back

Postby spudmab » Sun Jan 29, 2012 11:32 pm

Hey everyone long time no speak,

Well things have changed again in my life so I have had to call on a mighty transit once again,

Been looking around and I have finally found one, went and picked it up today, really happy with it as it’s a good base for a nice day van,

The pervious owner had done a fair bit of work on this van, and it’s quite well equipped from the factory,

Well this is the list that got me interested,

Ford Transit 120 2.5TD SWB Van.

Electric Windows
Central Locking (Ford)
Full ice cold Air Conditioning (Ford)
Automatic Gearbox (Ford)
Heated & Electric Wing Mirrors (Ford)
Twin Front Passenger Seats (both with 3 point seatbelts)
Triple Rear Passenger Seats (all with seatbelts)
Tow Bar & Electrics
2 Recent New Tyres
Recent Cam belt, Aux Belt & Alternator Belt
Fully Serviced, Oil, Oil Filter, Fuel Filter, Air Filter
Dual Exit Exhaust System
Recent Reconditioned Turbo (Turbosytems)
Recent Grooved Front Discs and Mintex Pads
Twin Batteries with Split Charging (Ford)
Both Side and Rear Glass Windows (Ford)
Sliding Side Door
Tinted Privacy Glass
Bodywork Painted Matt Black
New front door Speakers

As u can see it’s got some goodies on it, but those who know me will know that there will be big changes as time goes on,

for those who dont know me this was my first van,
