Default transit recovery / man cave :)

thought i would start a thread about my transit and my/my mates man cave

so i bought a drop side transit off ebay for £1200 come with 3 mounths mot and tax


then the next day some 10 foot ramps poped up only up the road so i bought them and used it to move small cars around

my mates dog harry



on the way to santapod with my fiesta


its at this point i realized the bed was a bit small lol


replaced the front seats with FRST seats



this poped up for sale up the road from me



soon set about fitting it





all done

tryed it out with the lowest car i could fined



dident think much for the extra ramp bits
so i cut them off


much better i was shocked at how heavy they were.
