First time Transit owner

Postby Captain chaos » Tue May 10, 2022 1:09 pm

Hi everyone, I'm new here and to transit ownership. Yesterday I bought a 2002 Transit 280 SWB TD. I bought it as spares or repair with 9 months MOT. It was a cat C write off in 2013. My plan was to just use it for tip runs until the MOT runs out, But..... That kind of changed when I drove it home, it drove better than the last one I hired and I've changed my plan as I think I'm in love! its done just north of 150k and passed last mot with welding advisories. So thats the start of my journey. Hope to get some advice and guidance and tap into this forums knowledge base. So that's me, thanks for taking the time to read.
