Hi I'm Simon
I have just bought a mk1 transit from a ford fanatic posibly a member of this forum he has lovely mk2 4x4 pickup and camper.
The van I would love to find out if history of anybody can point me in the right direction.
It now has a 205 block pinto with 4 speed.
My plans are to restore the van to original condition but keep the pinto lump perhaps turbo it and tune engine to have a lovely looking van that I can have some fun in.
What are your thoughts
I don't intend to sell the van so it will be my project until the time comes to part.
Lots of parts will be needed if anybody has anything.

Welcome! The DVLA have a service that will tell you the names and addresses of the previous registered keepers. You have to fill in a form and pay a small fee, it was £10 though could be a bit more. Try Ralph for spares.

Welcome along, old style Janspeed turbo kits turn up from time to time for the pinto, space under the bonnet may be an issue though.

Thanks people. I new you would be on here pal. Not much happening with van at min. Building a workshop to do the project!
Bought a 88 granada injection with 205 block. Bought some slot mags!
Wanted to keep it original but I won't like driving it. So gonna go for retro van with tuned engine.
Lots of info needed where do I post ?
