my reliable old money making machine

[apples26]

i think i posted pics a while ago in a thread but not actually put pics up in the gallery so heres my old machine

to be honest hasnt changed atall in appearance since i took these pics 3 months ago, concentrated more on serviceing and replacing worn items etc

but do plan to colour code the bumper some clear lenses, what i do want to buy is the caps that go in the centre of the front wheels

bitsa put the mk4 grill back on and be proud of it

[apples26]

na fook that, gonna put mk5 dash inside too

[transitgeoff]

trying to make it into sumink that it aint then just like putting mk2 wings on a mk1

[apples26]

na to be honest i just personally like the look of it, and the more modern and clean a recovery truck looks is a must to be fair, as for the dash, again personal preferance

the mk5 dash is bigger and looks a lot nicer, the flap on the top os handy too lol

Looks nice and clean, does it has a turbo?

[apples26]

na it doesnt but it seems to pull quite well, had a lwb frontera on it other day, merc estates etc i can still pull up to 70 odd on the motorway, only very occasionly slowing down to 45 50 on the hills that just dont seem to end


looks presentable deffo, but end of the day its like most transits, filled with filler and painted to make pretty but it is a 12 yr old transit, has had new arches etc so its not bubbling though horribly anywere

[hdegroot]

I still like the dual wheel rear axle....i want that too can you drift with it

[apples26]

Smart looking truck there dude...i agree with what you say about the image..at the end of the day..who,s going to trust thier car on the back of a rustbucket?? I use my van for courier work, and although its not white, looks better than a lot of other courier vans i see every day...my pics should be on the site soon( thanks to fredtransit !), being a biker , i keep thinking i,ll start transporting bikes around the country, but on hindsight shud have bought a LWB, or at least a hi top..until then i,ll stick to parcels n pallets ! Will be good to see how your truck develpos.Cheers 4 now

[apples26]

2 nights ago i decided to put it on ebay

the phone fookin rang off the wall people even bribing me to see it earlier than the other

i got £2400 for her sad to see it go but circumstances changed

i sold it last night and it wasnt even on ebay 20 hours
