Hi guys, been signed up for a few weeks now and just lurking in the background reading some of the posts and thought it was about time I shared a bit of my own.
The ride is a 1999 transit tourneo 8 seater minibus (not quite retro but still nearly 20yrs old!) that I bought from a good friend. I initially wanted it for the space for the wifes wheelchair but as with all well thought out plans that soon changed to somthing that was fun for me too! It was also crash damaged and as such was laid up for over 4yrs till I came along.
I set about doing the nessesary welding that all transits of this age/mk need and then decided I'd fit the engine/manual gearbox from a previous project van an aj30v6 from a jaguar s-type.
It's been a challenge in places and is still a rolling project to this day (aren't they all?) and ideally need megasquirt to really see the potential from the engine.
Once I figure out how to post pics I'll get some up! 😂
