Purchased this today - Very yellow, very basic, very clean and very solid! It came with a years MOT, which was a big bonus! It's a 950 Pop, so it won't be quick, but it's good enough for me! The only let down on the van, apart from the poorly painted wheels, is the fact the bonnet has had the hinges re-welded in the wrong places. My plans are to sort a bonnet out, tidy up the minor bodywork issues, and stick some XR2 Steel wheels on it, maybe some signwriting, but that's still undecided yet. Thanks for looking!

That's fantastic, the sort of thing non-car people will admire as well. And never mind a TD, how about a Zetec?

That's pretty cool, I used to have a c plate diesel when I was younger, it had been welded from front to back but I still loved it, ended up wih xr2 wheels, bumpers,spoiler and interior, always regretted selling it for £95 to my neighbour

thanks for all the comments! sent my xr2 steels away to get shotblasted last night, they'll be getting painted anthracite with chrome bolts and beauty rings, i think they'll all contrast against each other and it should look smart!

Have the hindges on the bonnet bin welded or just dropped over time as this is a common problem on these and easily straightened back!

I then wanted to start cleaning the interior as it stinks of wood (the material not the smell of a boner) best quote ever!

I was offered this a few weeks ago, It was tempting, not half as tempting as the Drift Ford though! It looks a good van mate, always liked these. Interested to see what you do with it...
