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

[paul2012]

Grabbed N/S rear door lower catch from local salvage yard.



After fitting it. Went round with good old TAR-FOE (Tar & adhesive remover). Cleaned off the old glue left over from signwriting.

Then it bloody rains





I thought I will get on & assemble front bumper ready for fitting. Now I have finished painting it.



Then realised bracket on front bumper corners are shot.



Manage to source a pair being dropped of tomorrow afternoon.

So decided to crack on & get rest of interior in.





Back is getting empty (Was full)



Why has it gone dark Lost all track of time - it's 10:40pm Time to pack up for the day



Jobs left to do :--

Fit Front bumper once brakets have arrived
Repair dent in O/S centre lower panel.
Finish dash wiring including electrics for towbar.
buff up bodywork using G3
Valet interior

Finally mk7 rear axle - awaiting rear handbrake cables that have been ordered.

Now these have been dropped of.. (£10 for the pair)



Front bumper now can be fitted

Does look good, and I also use G3, it isn't all that great on dents though

Are the rear doors being swapped out too?

[Collinm]

Yes rear doors will be done soon

[fiestaturbo1984]

Good stuff, will look great once its all done

[paul2012]

When to change headlight switch for one with front fog lights. Then realised replacement is from a Mondeo mk3 & is longer.



That's no problem for me......

A mini tutorial on how to modify a standard mk7 headlight switch without front fog lights. Using parts from a Mondeo mk3 switch with front fog lights

Firstly disassemble Mondeo mk3 switch



Do the same to mk7 one



Fit 2 grey parts from Mondeo mk3 switch to mk7's switch casing - simply clips into place



Using a small screw driver or any other sharp object.
Scratch into the black surface on mk7's switch front panel, until you expose white backing. - As if you're drawing the front fog light sign.



Then reassemble mk7 switch using components from, the Mondeo one (Including circuit board)



Then plug is it & test - TA-DA. You now have a functioning headlight switch with front / rear fog lights with tell tale lights
