Anyone have or know where I can get my hands on a Thatcham methods manual ford transit mk5.

Just so I have a guide to follow when replacing panels ect.

The roof panel skin is separating from the body on drivers side on very top,

Wait a minute that's a bus, Whats that got to do with Transits

There's something missing here from it tho, A rather large chunk of steel.

Yeah there it is

This bad boy is gonna come in handy for patching my transit up, Am gonna bodge something together when I cut this chunk of 4mm box steel up,

Restoration is slow due to a Lack of funds but I will get moving soon, Also been waiting to move into a new garage to restore it in.
