Picked this Mk7 Transit Crew Van up the other week
Been looking at Mk7’s & Customs for a few months now
A3 & Orion go on Sorn over winter, so we just use my work’s scheme car over winter
To make things easier we needed to sort a cheap 2nd car or the right van for trips away with mtb’s , general family duties
Picked this up for a bargain, 112k miles on, full Ford history, 2 owners
High factory spec
Just a few jobs to sort, and maybe some mods along the way

 

Picked the van up on a Friday afternoon
Wheels put up Forsale Friday evening
Organised new wheels to be fitted Saturday morning, managed to sell old wheels Saturday morning and get them collected while having new wheels fitted
Gone for a bigger tyre to reduce arch gap and keep it comfortable

 

It’s had a quick spruce up
Added some led bulbs etc
Plans:-
Upgrade security
Remap ( currently 125bhp )
Sport van kit
Reboard/ carpet rear
Retrim roof lining, add TVs
Upgrade stereo, something with Dab needed
Service

 

Nice van.
Love the wheels. Are those O.Z wheels by Ford Motorsport/ M sport? Hard to find over here...

 

Just load rated copies... Ł695 with tyres

 

Good enough mate. Perfect wheels for a transit.

 

Nice van, i er, gave you some bigger wheels...

 

 

Cool i like that.

 

I love a van. Had a mk7 sport lookalike and now got a custom sport.....also got a t5. Sorry.....

 

That looks like a well looked after van before and definitely after out of curiosity what age is it?

 

61 plate November 2011...

 

I was looking at 2.2 Custom’s but this come up at the right money... so had to have it...

 

Its a clean one for the age that’s for sure,I’d say it’s not had a hard life by the looks of it,the colour definitely helps but I know what you’ve done in the past for a living and being an ex detailer myself I know it’s very easy to polish value into a car or van if you know what your doing

 

Change of colour on the badges

 

Cracking Van's these. When we had these in the fleet of Van's I work on I hardly did anything to these. I changed a few egr valves and a few fuel pressure valves on the pump due to the revs not idling properly.

 

It looks really good. I can see it being sorned next winter and hibernating with the rest of your fleet.

 

No garage space for this one so must stay a daily

 

A year today since buying it and looking very different...
Recently add the sport kit, and today added a eBay splitter 😎

 

What stud pattern are them wheels I really fancy a set on my st225

 

That looks great

 

5x160 I think... 👍🏼

 

Getting there with it now... a few more bits still to do to it yet though 😎😉
All diy prep, fitting, paint work etc etc
Still needs flat & polishing 😂

 

You've got that looking spot on!

 

Looks spot on that. Have you had any problems with it??

 

Cheers... 😎👍🏼 More to come yet...

 

No it’s been faultless... 😉 dpf deleted, egr blanked and remapped is a must for any diesel 😂
should be running around 170bhp

 

New mudflaps fitted up front, rears still to do...

 

New badges again 😎😉

 

Bonnet/ bumper stripes fitted today... 😎

 

Looks cracking in the sun

 

I’ve never wanted or needed a Transit...... until now 😍

 

😂
Don’t think we’ll ever be without one now, we love it 👍🏼

 

A few upto date pics, been abit of work done over the last couple of months
New heated screen fitted
Added a top tint sun strip 😎
Added a seal across the top of the side skirts just to give it the Oe look 😂

 

Flew through its Mot back in November , it then developed a charging fault... 😱
So it had 2 new batteries, alternator, tensioner, auxiliary belt before Christmas 😂
Also developed a central locking fault, ended up needing both front door looms replacing
Treated it to some new genuine mats.
Then fitted a new sump along with oil and filter change 👍🏼

 

Lovely van and top work /maintenance chris .

 

Finally fitted a tailpipe to the standard exhaust... and shortened the standard aerial so I haven’t gotta remove it when putting it in/ out of the garage 😂😎
