Hi Rich,

It nearly worked - just got too many [img] tags.

When you're in photobucket, and highlight and copy the link you need underneath your chosen picture, JUST paste it here on the forum - you don't need to use any of the "insert image" tags or anything here on this forum - the [img] tags needed to make your link show up as a picture are already copied with the link at photobucket. Hope that makes sense - it's a lot easier to do it than explain it!

So - at photobucket:

Choose picture
Select and copy the link you need - usually the bottom option under the picture. It will sometimes copy automatically when you right click on it.

Move to Transit forum
in your post - just paste - don't use any of the "insert image" tags above your message box.

You can click "preview" at the bottom of the message box before posting to check it has worked.

Yeah.......clear as......I know....... :wink:

Your indicator stalk is on the opposite side to my 1978 MK1.

Did they swap sides at some point during their life?

Looks like your starting point was pretty rust-free 8)

I think most of the cab of my camper ended up in a brown dusty pile on the floor of the workshop :(

Sweet project!
Why do most of the surviving MK1/2's seem to be pickups? I would've thought they were the most abused of any transit - yet I see more of them about than panel vans????
