mk5 ex transco smiley

[trustytransit]

Picked this up last weeknd to replce my escort van. Its Ex transco so holds abit of weight and has twin batteries. Done 120k so should of been looked after and has 2 single seats in front just needs abit of TLC.

Jobs done so far:
A good clean and got all the crap out from the arches.
Interior washed as been smoked in.
Took off the bling wheel trims.
T cut it all to see what the paints like.

Jobs to do:
Need 3 more of the small center caps then spray them and the steel wheels gloss black.
Get some british gas light blue paint mixed up and go to town on the bodywork. Most of the rust is just surface so will scrape back, treat it and fill it.

When bodywork is all tidied up want to get it signwritten with my plastering logo.

Sprayed primer today and the locks and door handles as they were covered in overspray from the last owner touching bits up. The colour i got mixed was pretty spot on. The place i went to was in Newbury and alot cheaper than robbing halfords. I also had it signwritten today nothing flash let me know what you think.
