Rob Cee's transit - start of makeover

[transitandy]

Any one got an idea what those other connections are for?

Yeah if anybody can help i would be gratefull as well as my twin choker has got bits where pipes should be still runs ok though

[robbie.cee]

That steering wheel will look on your van

Thats good! should be here fri or sat!!!

think i got the pipe connections sorted but still not fitted carbs yet!

[G40GES]

good to see things happenin' Robbie... got to admit, im suprised you didnt opt for something a little more .... JUICIER
with plugs points and a carb you dont need a I'T degree to get them old motors turning

[robbie.cee]

The Essex is still in peices in rear of van. might start buying new bearings seals gaskets and rings soon, get her in for north weald!!

wont get much juicier than a 3.0 with 3 x 38dgas carbs on it although my budget'll most likely only stretch to one!

Ali show us yer coconuts!!!

[robbie.cee]

Knock knock ! Postman brings more joy from fleabay!

Led front lights with load resistors to stop strobing(although i may loose one of the 3 resistors from each side to make slightly faster flash)




Then this came...might try to get a better ford logo for centre but well chuffed...


Which i promptly bolted to this....





to give this...



Now i just got to wait for the fkin escort mk1 boss to turn up.....£6.99 postage and it s in uk and they reckon 20-25 working days postage.FFS

PROPER MADE US CHUCKLE

Oh yeah with reference to fitting these...


I forgot to tell you guys, it appears that not content with reversing polarity on the load bay light ,Ford decided that all front indicators should be wired so that centre pin of bulb is actually NEGATIVE... Had to cut these wires and reverse with inline crimp connectors... wasnt hard just annoying!

So theres one for the records guys if your led front indicators dont work, theyre probably reverse wired i e wrong way round.
also check the pins that lock into holder, these were offset, took a bit of persuasion to get then in but theyre in!
