Ive done 33 years as a RAC patrol, nice to see someone reusing one of the old Trannies. That one was one of the first Orange ones when the company was rebranded. Was originally white with red and blue stripes. If they were only 12 to 18 month old they got resprayed orange until ford started supplying them orange from factory. Best van at the time, engine bomb proof, no problems carrying the weight and towed great.Much better than the leyland sherpa that they replaced. Well done to you all.
Colin. You & your assistant. Truly amazed me. In your thought's and delivery of the transformation, of the new & re-constructed panels. For many it would be a scrapper !. you seen beyond that. Looking forward to the next installment. Cheers. 👍👍
That's so much find out 2nd channel here and new old video This Is Our Garage LIFE ! First Ever Week In Shine Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/ZTDmdQM8OUw/v-deo.html
In my 27th year for the rac I had one of them from new was a great van took all the punishment from carrying all my tools and towed like a dream nice ti see some still surviving
I’m a 13 year owner ship of a mk5 transit Great vans I cut the bottom off the arch off on the wing let’s water out Will help line wing up also Shame I can’t show a picture of my restoration project Keep up good work lads
Saw an old Renault traffic a while ago no rust and it was a 51 or 52 plate not sure but old and solid shame fords weren't apart from the 2.5di motor. 😅
morning Colin another brilliant video only thing I will say the videos ent long enough buy time I'm into what ya upto it's over love you guys need more lol ❤❤❤❤
I don't know what year that transit is but the X reg (2000) one I had EX RAC van I bought another Transit which was rotten for the low mileage engine and box good seats and also was fitted with electric windows so I decided to try and wire the windows in, when I took the door panels off on my doors the wiring was already there so was easy to swap over, it was a lovely luxury having power windows
@@shineautomotive it was a god send, I was half expecting to do some dreaded wiring so was lucky, as for rot I think RAC got their vans so cheap off ford because they asked them not to put any protection on the bodywork at the factory lol because the one I had was rotten just like yours, I was watching the video and having a feeling of De ja vu lol

Lot of work for sure but bulletproof mechanicals makes it worthwhile , a better proposition would be to get hold of a engine broken new transit and retrofit with the old engine/ gearbox.
Ive been working for the RAC for 19 year's, and i can remember every van reg sad i know lol. great to see one of the old girls getting some love
I love this comment that much I'm going to pin it .

Mk8 Transit does not rust
In America Chevy owns that title.
rot box, needs scrapped, you are wasting your time
Lot of work for sure but bulletproof mechanicals makes it worthwhile , a better proposition would be to get hold of a engine broken new transit and retrofit with the old engine/ gearbox.
thank you so much for your confidence. :-)
