1998 Ford Transit 190LWB Beavertail (Updated 20/09)

Ok,

So bit of a different thread than the normal. This is my Tranny Beavertail. I first bought it jointly with my good friend. We bought it back in our drifting days when we needed to transport two drift cars to venues all over the UK. Here it was at Silverstone in 2011 when we were doing experience drives at a Britcar event.




As you can see it was looking quite tidy back then. Unfortunatley it was parked up not long after those pictures were taken. It was left parked up until now. This is what it's looking like now after 3 1/2 years.


It's rotten on the cab in all the usual places.






The plan for the old girl is to restore her back to her former glory with the intention of using her again. The spec is quite simple. It's to look like it's loved enough that VOSA won't get excited when they see it. Or so that it doesn't look like your average scrap collecting individuals vehicle. I am thinking of lowering the front down by an inch or two. She always went light on the front with a car on the back. I am also very tempted by a stack exhaust on the rear of the cab.

So if you like your old commercials this thread might interest you.

All comments welcome and appreciated.
