just about to start (or I guess have started) the renovation of my transit county (county = 4x4 in transit talk)
haven't really done anything yet, just stripping some stuff out/off... but I guess I have to start the thread somewhere...
plan is to rip everything out, strip it all down, have it sand blasted then rebuild it
with a massive pop top, massive bed, big fridge (for beer), microwave, tv+pc (I promised my nephew I'd fit these), sink and hob, some kind of fold out shower at the back (still can't decide how), hydraulic bike carrier on the back, so it lifts up and down at the press of a button, (for 2x electric bikes) erm... other stuff
and a V8
I've already bought a 4.0 32v V8 Audi ABZ.....
but now I'm thinking the 4.0 supercharged V8 from a jag XJR might be more fun :-)
here's a link to the album of photos so far...
http://imgur.com/a/UciNi (these are in reverse order, start at the bottom!!!)front wings are no good, rear arches are no good, one sill is no good, above the windscreen is rough... other than that it looks like it's only small patches here and there... remarkably the chassis is all pretty immaculate... which is odd for a transit.. I wonder if being higher up off the road helps, and maybe so much time spend in the desert helps too ?
(guy I bought it from went off to Africa in it and didn't come back for 2 years, and he bought it from a guy who did something simmiler - the photo of the map shows where the guy I bought it from went)
and here's a massive album of photos from before I got it...
http://imgur.com/a/UgtQ3I've had it sitting outside my work for about... 2 years now, maybe more... with nowhere dry to work on it... but I bought the building next door to my work to expand into, so I'm going to get this done quick before I start work converting it from a truck garage to a dog food factory extension :-)
