jjspeed van

[jjspeed]

thaught id start a project diary on my van

its a mk7 85 280s

i got this van 10 days ago after rapidly outgrowning my renault kangoo, being a joiner needing to carry 8x4 boards it made sence to get a transit

this is my old van

a nice little van just small

my gf went and picked this van for me as all the ones i wanted to look at "wasnt good enough"

its a 56 2.2 swb with 86k that used to be owned/leased by aqua force plumbing solutions and i still have the signwriting shaddows

day i got it




i have done quite a bit of work so far, well in the short time ive had it

4 new tires
oil/air/fuel filters
new alt belt
fitted rhino rack "mega" bar kit with 3 bars and rear roller
and a reverse camera

next jobs are machine polishing to remove graphics shaddows and a good waxoyl, i have also noticed rust forming in places like the sill on the sliding door and small bits on the arch edges, all the common places,

some times machine polishing doesnt take it all out i can still see the bt marks on mine in certain light. You can flatten the paint work with 1000 grade paper then buff it that takes care of it. Nice straight van by the way .
