Well done for starting a thread Mike 8)

No doubt that in twenty years time when I own one of these and am busy welding up the rusted bodywork, I will be re-visiting this thread for 'inspiration'.

The rear cab light is a W5W bulb rather than a 38mm festoon, so I could only do the one today.

To be fair they've made a huge improvement in the forward lighting. I need to work out how to get to the 3rd brake light, it looks silly now with led's in the others :(

Yes that's the reversing camera. The Ford badge is set into the door, so no, it's staying. It's not as annoying as the Transit Custom lettering anyway.

Easier to wash too, those little letters are a bugger.

The Limited wheels are also a pig to clean :twisted: The up side is that the bodywork is much easier to clean and dry :D
