Here is my Mk2 transit recovery truck,

1978, 2.4 York and 4 speed, alloy bed and good old hand winch!

Drove it 610 miles home and it was a nitemare, 42 flat out empty, lol!

Plans are to fit a 2.5 Di turbo and 5 speed box, strip the cab down and do all the welding and bodywork that is needed and a nice coat of Sunburst red or yellow and fit the phase 1 front end like it should have on it.




Ive removed the phase 2 stuff and fitted up a phase 1 front panel, and borrowed indicators from oddys van for mock up to see it it all fitted!

i planned to remove the bumper that had been fitted to the front ( think it was a rear bumber with step from an iveco or something ) but it has been seriously welded on so i decided to box in the step and remove the tow bar. will hopefully look like a recovery spec bumper when its finnished and painted.





I have cut the old wing off and have it up on a stand to get better access for the repairs that are needed on the passenger side,

Will get on with the repairs over the next few weeks and see how i get on and will try to update when ive got a decent bit done.

I knew about most of the repairs needed but i came accross rot on the dashboard panel that has came through from the rot on the windscreen pillar which might be a bit of a bitch to sort!







Cheers,auld
