It really didn't take long, did it?! Just a week after picking up my new wheels, work has already begun on my Transit van conversion. I picked this up in October 2024 to replace my Volkswagen Caddy, which since day one had suffered reliability issues. Ironically on the day I went to look at the Transit I had the injector seals replaced and it's started up without issue every time since. Typical!!
Now touch wood (or metal) I'm not plagued with the usual Ford Transit rust problems that most owners have to constantly battle. Yes, there are some rust patches on the van, but just now they're just surface patches. I picked up some Nitromors rust converter and plan to tackle as much of the van as I can before winter hits.
Join me as I pick up the first few parts needed and the van makes an appearance on the ramps at work. Hopefully a part of the site it'll see less than my last van did!
