My 1967 Mk1 Pickup

[Luke]

This piccy was taken in the summer, after i had carefully strored her for about 3 years Work has progressed since then (welding arrgh!) Shes in a pritty sorry state but definately worth saving but theres a long way to go

[madmark]

luke i didnt know it was looking like that it reminds me off the trip to the farm with all the mk1,,,s the only difrence is i can see yours!

[Luke]

Hehe ill get some 'more recent' pictures put up soon! It looks a little better now

[FredTransit]

If you want to get rid of the green stuff off the paint, if you haven't already, good oldfashioned bleach works well on white paint. I bought a body for one of ours off an LT that had been stood in a field for 5 years. Too ashamed to drive home with it as is, I used 2 bottles of Netto kitchen cleaner with bleach on it, came up a treat! I wouldn't use it on coloured paint though.

Was that a Di with a Lucas pump then? What you got now, a Bosch? The main problem is, the later thay get, the more outputs Ford produced. It's a minefield!

[Luke]

Yeah its a CAV ive never had one with a bosch pump all mine have been the lucas, and ive had loads of hassle with the damn things, its almost like no 2 identical pumps are the same

[FredTransit]

That is usual with the Bosch, but not normally the Lucas. Have you tried changing the injectors?

Hi you should try putting a duratorq 2.4 from a millenium Trany in your mk1! its fun believe me.

Would this involve an engine managment brain? I don't do microchips!

[transitgeoff]

well you you have to go forward or you get left behind!! much better fuel economy and cleaner emisions with these microchips!

Nah, not for me..... Well if I wanted to go forward I would've gone out and bought a Mk3 years ago, then the Mk4 ect (don't get me on the Mks thing again!). I don't think it's being left behind either, after all you have got a Mk1, all be it a Mk4 under the skin!

[transitgeoff]

ahh i just love all Tranys they pay my mortgage!!! the first are always the best,im also into mk1 escorts.

[Luke]

Seeing as this is the gallery lets move this topic ive started a new thread here in transit talk!!
Ps geoff ive got a mk1 escy too!!!

[Luke]

The tow rope and wire are there cos we'd just dragged it round from its winter storage!!!
