Bought in June 2013, 86,000miles on the clock a 115ps Jumbo 2006... Mint condition!!

Image

Didn't do much to it, as I had it 3 weeks and it got stolen! Found and written off as the rear doors had been cut off by police, insurance paid out... Few months later found it being sold on eBay whilst I was looking for a new van, by the guy who got it off co part salvage! Bought it back in a pretty sad condition!

Image

Got straight to work, cleaned it up as much as I could, the first major step being sorting out the roof leak, gave it a clean whilst up there!!

Next step was the water and vacuum pump which went without a hitch! I then decided to take the wet oily ply lined flooring out and replace with 18mm buffalo board and some led strips
Image

And then cracked on with some mk7 rear lights

Image

Then decided to paint the white hinges, bought some diamond white from halfords and got on with it!!

Image

Pretty happy with the van now, got some wheel trims yesterday off Tango330, so as the van stands now:

Image

Still unsure of future plans, loads of things I want to do, getting some decent amber strobes tomorrow for the front grill (just for fun ;)) and thinking about the heated front window, or a mk7 interior seats as mine are looking a bit worn now. Any other suggestions are welcome!!

Got rid of it now, going to put 2 more on the back of the led heads, just running the wiring from the switch ready for when I get them :-)

I can't see from the pics if you have front foglights but I'd fit genuine ford ones from the escort mk6 as they smarten the front off :mrgreen:
