Greetings, I and a friend have recently taken a transit van to our bosom, never had one before. A mutual aquaintance had bought it, was driving it home and couldn't start it after stopping for refreshment so he dumped it in a garage forecourt, j and I rescued it and are planning to turn it into a mobile home type of vehicle.
It's a transit190 (94-00), no idea yet what that means, It's a LWB, Long Wheel Base and HiRoof made in 1998.
I think it's a Mk 4 and it looks like the front top part has been replaced, can see loads of rivets all around it, single rear wheel and a couple of welded patches.
I plan to have the AA inspect it as I want it for more than a few months and don't want to waste energy and money.
That's it for now, except we are in Cornwall, UK
Update, it seems the AA won't inpect a van over 15, I'm now thinking of putting it through an MOT, or possibly pay a mechanic to look it over, I'm only really interested in long term issues, things that will mean it will have to be scrapped before we enjoy the fruits of our labour.
From posts on here it appears to be an extended LWB, I would welcome comments from people who have experience of converting, even if it is only, find another project, etc.
