Postby hippy » Mon Jan 12, 2009 4:46 pm

well, my faithful tranny is receiving some well earned attention :) ...finally got her started after i serviced her, new everything ...leads dizzy cap, fuel pump...then found lil split in the fuel line, replaced that, turned her over..BANG! :o backfire, blew up the muffler beyond repair..turned out shorting out coz of bent terminal on coi :? l...New muffler....manifold needs re facing, bolts rusted on..now whats the whirring up back?.... :(
so while she hangs out with faithful fred my mechanic that deals with anything out of my depth went on a lil road trip to some of the most beautiful beaches in WA 8) , (all the while feeling a tad guilty for abandoning tranny on such a trip) ....
in a little secondhand shop found "Customizing Vans" by Mitch Beedie...published 78 in US printed GB.
is full of CLASSIC :wink: pics and illustrations of exterior and interior or Transit vans.... would i be breaching copyright to scan and post some pics?is anyone interested?
also... my bro is sadly :cry: letting go of his 69 transit van...in WA anyone keen for parts over here?
Happy new year all! :D
