Hi there,
I'm new to the forum, as I'm sitting in germany. Right now I am fully restoring a transit mk1 (1976), with a Diesel front and engine.
Unfortunately the diesel valance and the cross member, that sits behind the valance (it's the very front crossmember under the front grill) are totally rust eaten and theres no way to save them. As far as I have looked for those parts over here there's no way to find them. Same thing with the bonnet. It's not only rust eaten – what would be repairable – but is also totally distorted. This would be a major job to do. Last thing I would need is a backdoor, which is not distorted (as mine is). Those are the three things I'm looking for, the three final things I need to complete this nice ft100L Diesel. Back here I am member of the transit-stammtisch.de forum and probably there's a possibility, that we could organize a meeting with a bunch of people. That'd be nice, don't you think? As I am not from Britain I would appreciate to ship the parts over to Europe (if someone has some of the parts available). If that's not working for you and I could get all three if the parts at places close to each other, I'll probably organize a tour to Britain myself to pick up the stuff.
I'd be glad if you could offer me something and if you could help me finishing this project. I do have some money to invest, so please, offer anything.
Looking forward hearing from you at realklaus(at)hotmail(dot)com or here at the forum. Take care and thanks a million!
Alex

Hi Ralph,
thanks a million for the offer. You could probably save my project!! Does anyone have any idea, if there's someone shipping huge boxes like these or do I have to organize a trip to GB?
Cheers, alex
