I can remember an old girl friend telling me she was "In the club". Is that the same sort of thing?.

Similar in some respects.......it only took a few minutes to get into trouble (buying a transit)...about 9 months to finally realise what that one night of madness had left me with....and then the hard work began..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I haven't a clue what calipers but is disc on front drum on back twin wheel but 2 are missing ,this week will be striping time when I get chance I have a few jobs to do before I can start the striping to shell

It has no engine as off yet but was thinking either the 2.5 banna mt75 box or the DTI one

It still has the York box init but no engine thow :(

it depends on its age :!: the early ones had a metal front and later got plastic :!: mutts should be able to tell you the year of the facelift as would Fred and a few others :!:

Ive just had a quick look at Haynes manual and there's no reference to facelift just has transit 78 to 86 :roll:

I'll take a guess at 1980 for the facelift but don't slag me off if I'm wrong :lol:
