my new transit

Postby fordboynick » Fri Jun 10, 2011 7:28 pm

hi people been a while since ive been on here as i havent had a transit.
but today i think i had the bargin of the year when i brought a transit swb low roof on a w reg tax and test for only £250 and is quite a mint van just needing new arches and wings :roll: :roll:
so i will kindly ask allen n to take some pics tomorrow to put up and start striping this van ready for a paint job in i think ford focus st green 8) or a greenish colour.
never know i might put a v6 engine in this one if it doesnt get stolen :(

National Grid green? Were ford just using up old paint? Chuck some flakes in and hey presto... I wonder. Used to do orange mk1's when the RAC still had white fleets.
