Definitely a positive. The spec lifted and it towed your van - all good. At least a clutch isn't too bad to sort.

Progress brilliant to see mate I’ve been looking at that transit If possible I would run both exhausts up the back of the crew cab if you have space Six recaro escort turbo seats Power steering definitely electric set up if no room Would change the bonnet I’ve got a sierra cosworth 4x4 bonnet with vents if you still want to put vents in the transit bonnet There is a lot that can be done to this can’t wait to see what you have in store 👍🏼
@SleafordRecovery
@SleafordRecovery Год назад
Ah thanks mate, some great ideas, i'm currently spending my night editing the next quick video about what to do with the back seats. The bonnet is bugging me, i've looked at vents, intakes etc etc. I've been offered a bonnet from a subscriber but its pretty rusty. I've even thought about adding a huge intake manifold poking out of a hole in the bonnet....blank canvas atm and honestly open to any and all ideas from viewers.

Have the exhaust pipe's got a balance pipe connecting both exhausts together as it won't run properly.?
@SleafordRecovery
@SleafordRecovery Год назад
Hi mate, no they don't have a collector or balance pipe. I plan...when funds allow, to have the full system renewed, preferably with a removable baffle so I can make it more usable and then go full hooligan for showing it off etc. I agree it'll aid the running of it too. Thanks for your comment, great to have you with us.

I’ve got a vivaro which is essentially the same platform and it has a similar party trick to get out of doing what it doesn’t enjoy! It currently has a dead BCM which has been fun! - anyway great that your spec works, wasn’t sure it would being strapped up.

@@SleafordRecovery 30 odd years ago i used to zinc plate/yellow passivate those spec frames for a company in Fishponds Bristol, i think as cars got bigger and heavier they struggled unless they were attached to a bigger trucks ,,they did a version that had pull out pins rather than the full loop, a handy driver could get in place were there was limited space, like the parking enforcement people
