Project Transit.

[Frank]

Been driving around in the same busted old transit with shabby tipping body and greedy boards taken off a different vehicle, for asooo long now that I decided to have a revamp. Dragged it in the ol' workshop and with the help of me pal have managed to make it look slightly less shabby. Heres the pics in chronological order.

then came, new colour, which was unfortunatley all I could find lying around in a tin big enough. started at 9am, and after 2 trips to maccy d's and 47 cups of coffe later, it was done

Sweet, want to do mine?!

Looking good so far but why stop the high sides short of the back of the main body?

 

I did my land rover in a similar way but the high sides are removable by undoing 3 bolts per side (yours look welded in place but I could be wrong) and by running them right to the back of the main body it gave me more space for sign writing and they look like they belong there.

and here it was in action yesterday, cant get it too mucky though cos I've finally bit the bullet and organized some sign writing. I'll post the pics when its 100% complete. What do you reckon??

the sides were given to me, off a different vehicle, I didnt extend them because I wanted to keep weight down. The more space I have the more I would fill with timber and VOSA would slap me. haha. They used to be removable but rattled around and annoyed me.

haha, I wish, if I had a workshop like that I wouldnt be climbing trees in the snow. My workshop is about 75% as impressive as that.

Yeah, bring it round.

[Mesterh]

Looks like a nice job there

 

Just wondering why most peeps decide to cut the corners off the back of the sides so they slope?
