Thanks guys - van did look alot cleaner once finished :wink:

I am now currently modding a 2004 connect at the moment.

Although I do have another 2002 mk6 Transit T280 100ps with elec windows / mirrors, heated windscreen, front foglights etc.
Only thing I have done to so far is fitted later rear lights :oops:

I think I will fit a mk7 front end with dash, but that won't be until I have finished my connect

I thought the executive model had the 125ps engine ?

Where this only has the 100ps, althought it does have everything including drivers arm rest. But it doesn't have air con :(

So unsure on that one :oops:

Iirc the sales man told me these were exec models as I took one out for a spin whilst they were getting the one I got ready, the only reason I did not go for it was I needed a bigger van.

I did not now that :D

Its a cracking van with plenty of engine power, overtakes lorries etc no problem even when loaded.
Bodywork is fairly tidy too. Spot of rust on both front wings, but that doesn't matter as they will just get replaced.
Could do with drivers seat being replaced due to tear in it, but again thats minor.

Executive was 100ps, and yours is an executive :)
125ps didn't appear for another couple of years
