MK2 LWB Project

[Jappa73]

Hi there
Well I now have photos of my project and have all ready made a start by cleaning all the rubbish out of it and connecting the starter motor which could explain why it wouldnt turn over

It is a 78 with a C4 6 cylinder Auto on gas and petrol

My dad the ford mechanic for 25 years will be working on the motor and it is up to me to do the rest. I hope you guys are patient

she looks like there isnt much rot in her! you lot are so lucky with your big engines overthere!

You can't get any earlier than that! Love the wheels too.

:lol: she looks like there isnt much rot in her! you lot are so lucky with your big engines overthere!

There is only the smallest amount of surface rust and the front quater panel has a dent that has bog in it but that wont take much to fix. Now the color is another thing. That has to go

A V8 would be better

It has 8th month 1978 on it I believe

You know, I never took much notice but I like them now you have pointed them out. I think I am just having trouble getting past the blinding yellow

It does stick out about but who cares. Great van mate.

Any suggestions on colors???

Oh just thought I would give you all a heads up that....now dont be alarmed...........I am a blonde female. So be gentle on me if I ask stupid questions! But I would rather be stuck under a bonnet than stuck behind a sink

If you want to keep it Mk2 looking then it has to be a solid colour, red will fade quite quickly, theres loads of blue ones (but thats over here), what about a british racing green?

Super looking van mate If the vans here had so little rust we'd all still be in Mk2's

Does that explain the four duplicate posts?

Rover - no the four posts would be the strange server, mabe that's blonde and female but I think not. And as for the rust and Mk2 comment, now you have upset me......

[rover]

How on earth did that comment upset you Fred? Explain?

Rover.

[FredTransit]

You reminded me about rust and the lack of Mk2s on the road (well not my road obviously...)

[rover]

Oh ok....

I think that was the stupid server. It kept timing out. Being a computer technician I am used to that

My first car was a 1970 Toyota Corona and it was british racing green. Not a bad color but not sure I would like a huge amount of it. Would look like a moving garbage bin !!!! (ours are green over here) I like blue. Might have a look at that. Thanks

So why do your cars have so much rust over there?
