@@classic_britain Thanks Sheldon, subscribe returned. Unfortunately I've just moved to Australia. This was the last one to leave us in the UK. There is still a few small jobs to do to get it on the road but we have a top man on that in the coming new year.

@@oldscooler Congratulations on your move to Australia, I've been here in Perth 20yrs, great move, great place to live, lots of opportunity's for able workers.
Truly fantastic work Andy (both the van and the video). I have been following this with interest for years as i started my mk2 Transit with BOA engine at about the same time. You beat me to it but this is great inspiration. Well done!
Christ, that is some journey. I like this a lot, well done to everybody involved in making it happen.👍 Not such a big fan of the video filtering, though... Subbed
Had one of these in Australia had sliding doors for passenger and driver it ran a 250 falcon motor pre cross flow and a C4 Auto with high speed diff conversion wasn't flash just untouched apart from diff used to drive it around with doors open , was a fun car
Try not to fall into the two bar cut repeating with the backing track. Nice idea for a hot van though. Also agree that playing with colour filters doesn’t always “add” to quality.
Ive got one twin sliding doors, tailgate, Smooth hinged side door to clear front door when sliding back Turbo Di automatic But kept it flat front And it's the early flat front split indicator type
are you not worried about the windscreen falling out ? Its missing the chrome insert wich is also the locking strip to tighten the rubber up i actually daily drive a mk1 and a mk2 transit and deal in mk1 mk2 parts
@@brianmurphy8790 sorry, it's very difficult getting everything into one video. Especially when the vehicle has had hundreds of hours of work into it. And we were on a very tight time frame for shooting.
I don't like the narrow front track width, it looks like a lack of forethought and a "that will do" attitude. The front bumper would also look better if it was narrowed and tucked in closer with none of the mounting bolts showing, the stone chip finish on the dash also looks half hearted. I think it would have looked better smooth and high gloss.
Beautiful van (putrid Granada wheels though), lovely combo of engine/turbo/van. Horrifically overstylised editing though, too focused on trying to look cool rather than actually being able to view the van and all its colours.
It’s been filtered I think to what I believe is completing the van being the colour it is , might be wrong but I believe it’s cause of the colour of van .
@@michaelburbank2276 refer above to the comment from the guy who owned a 67 Transit when he was 17 years old 👍 I'm not trying to click bait anyone. Just like to show and share what we do.
@@alanevanson4873 it's the Scorpio front subframe, steering, suspension etc so it is narrow under the front of the van which did also help with clearance for the low stance and very low when aired out.
I drove one of them vans for about 10 years , this took me back down memory lane

his didn't go like that . wicked job mate and happy christmas
@Nobody-gm3bb yeah most people born in the 70s or earlier have a story about a MK1 Transit 😁 Soooo many around at that time.
Stunning van, amazing work all around. Personally though not a fan of the wheels or fitment. Sadly, just sold my mk1 :(

Nice. I want to get my hands on a 76-90 Econoline 150, for something similar.
Butchered that video with the colour filter mate
I agree, is this van for sale? If so, how much? Love the Westminster Chime type of music at the end though.
Totally agree, unfortunately.
Butchered the van, never mind the video.
Shite couldn’t watch it shame as well van looked sick
Made me turn off before the end also
Reminds me of Away Day's. PUP

scorcher scorpio power ford sweet
Had one first time round .came with free balaclavas.kept finding money in the back🤣🤣
I heard that those transits were the most successful getaway cars ever
@elzharvskyz9621 definitely the most popular!
Ive got one twin sliding doors, tailgate,
Smooth hinged side door to clear front door when sliding back
Turbo Di automatic
But kept it flat front
And it's the early flat front split indicator type

Yep drop the filters
Any chance of an edit in colour, rather than grey/red. Takes away from the experience
Horrible filters

Horrifically overstylised editing though, too focused on trying to look cool rather than actually being able to view the van and all its colours.
Cool Ford Transit, but why no engine and exhaust noise from it, except at idle? Just an annoying music video, while driving on the road.
Horrible filter, couldn’t watch to the end even though I liked the build concept.
Stop painting cool stuff grey it so boring now
Ruined the video with the stupid colour edit leave fings alone just film the job
What's wrong with the colour ffs? 👎

Re upload without the filter. It really doesn't do it justice
Technically brilliant but would look better not quite as low
