Hi all,
I'm a recent Transit van owner, although have admired them ever since I saw pictures of the original Supervan years ago as a kid.
A couple of weeks ago I managed to pick up 3 vans for the price of one:
The first is a 'A Team' replica complete with GMC badge *shudder*. She runs a 302 with a C6 behind it running to a 8 3/4 diff. The plan is to fix her up and either a) make a Supervan replica or b) do a vintage 'Pepsico' delivery van scheme and use it as my race transporter (I race a 1980's 250 GP bike in period Pepsico livery and modern sidecars as well). Minimal rust for how its been treated but mechanically she needs some love (leaf shackle bushes, steering box etc). I also plan on keeping the sliding door on the drivers side.
The second is a donor car which has had a hard smack (enough to bend the rails) in the front at some point. I'll be robbing her of some good parts and possibly cutting her up to make a trailer if the chassis isn't too bad further back.
The third is a nearly complete car with good window rubbers and a few other bits I need. I'll be taking what I need from her and moving her on as a project for someone as this van is just too good to throw away or cut up.
So please forgive me if I ask daft questions about where to find parts or how something fits together as I'm rather new to this scene.
Cheers!
