I have a 1971 short version Transit that I have put in a 2 litre OHC engine with a 5 speed gearbox.
I want to increase the performance of the car (even more) by increasing displacement to either 2,2 og 2,4 litre. Any hints/tips about, or parts suitable for this, or (even better) a complete rebuild, is of interest!
Also, about cosmetics and similar, I am looking for rear light glasses in good condition, front and side turn signal glasses, rear and/or front bumper (preferably chrome but anything goes as long as it's not dented), l/r door covers with all handles, left window complete winding mechanism, left door opener mechanism, 4 chrome hub caps or wheels with hubcaps, the rubber seals for both front doors.... and parts in general that will improve the looks of my car (not styling).
MOST of all, I am looking for a complete/compatible front axle with disk breaks (with an increased performance, this is an absolute must for the car...), either original or any kind of upgraded rebuild (bigger discs and calippers), some kind of power brakes would also be great as my current system is "pedal and drums, nothing between" (my technica English is not very good, so read between the lines folks, I don't quite know how to express my thoughts and needs very well...). Suspension parts are also of interest, but no "lowering kits," I want the car to look original with the hidden surprice of some decent performance (aiming for about 150-160 bhp with lots of.... power on the lower rpm... torque??)
Other than this, I have a friend who are searching for needed, and not so needed parts (he likes to have "spare spares..."), so please let me know if you have some/any quality stuff compatible with the MK1 version.
Best of regards
Arne
