@andymcnab2.0 it's not for sale. I build cars for customers with existing cars they already own. Just make huge improvements. I don't think this customer would ever sell.
Always been a big fan of these vans. To be honest I always had hopes of finding one. And doin something like this to one. So cool to see a build like this
@@classic_britain Thanks Sheldon, subscribe returned. Unfortunately I've just moved to Australia. This was the last one to leave us in the UK. There is still a few small jobs to do to get it on the road but we have a top man on that in the coming new year. You might be able to arrange something with the owner once it's on the road if you wanted to...
@@oldscooler Congratulations on your move to Australia, I've been here in Perth 20yrs, great move, great place to live, lots of opportunity's for able workers.
Truly fantastic work Andy (both the van and the video). I have been following this with interest for years as i started my mk2 Transit with BOA engine at about the same time. You beat me to it but this is great inspiration. Well done!
Christ, that is some journey. I like this a lot, well done to everybody involved in making it happen.👍 Not such a big fan of the video filtering, though... Subbed
Had one of these in Australia had sliding doors for passenger and driver it ran a 250 falcon motor pre cross flow and a C4 Auto with high speed diff conversion wasn't flash just untouched apart from diff used to drive it around with doors open , was a fun car
Try not to fall into the two bar cut repeating with the backing track. Nice idea for a hot van though. Also agree that playing with colour filters doesn’t always “add” to quality.
Ive got one twin sliding doors, tailgate, Smooth hinged side door to clear front door when sliding back Turbo Di automatic But kept it flat front And it's the early flat front split indicator type
are you not worried about the windscreen falling out ? Its missing the chrome insert wich is also the locking strip to tighten the rubber up i actually daily drive a mk1 and a mk2 transit and deal in mk1 mk2 parts
@@brianmurphy8790 sorry, it's very difficult getting everything into one video. Especially when the vehicle has had hundreds of hours of work into it. And we were on a very tight time frame for shooting.
I don't like the narrow front track width, it looks like a lack of forethought and a "that will do" attitude. The front bumper would also look better if it was narrowed and tucked in closer with none of the mounting bolts showing, the stone chip finish on the dash also looks half hearted. I think it would have looked better smooth and high gloss.
Beautiful van (putrid Granada wheels though), lovely combo of engine/turbo/van. Horrifically overstylised editing though, too focused on trying to look cool rather than actually being able to view the van and all its colours.
@@michaelburbank2276 refer above to the comment from the guy who owned a 67 Transit when he was 17 years old 👍 I'm not trying to click bait anyone. Just like to show and share what we do.
It’s been filtered I think to what I believe is completing the van being the colour it is , might be wrong but I believe it’s cause of the colour of van .
@@alanevanson4873 it's the Scorpio front subframe, steering, suspension etc so it is narrow under the front of the van which did also help with clearance for the low stance and very low when aired out.
What a van, and done a great job

Wonderful to see these old vans being given a new life, especially a MK1 Ford transit.
Amazing amount of skilful work and attention to detail.
👍👍👍
A van from the set of heartbeat, that will take your heartbeat
I had 1967 mk1 12 seater minibus v4 petrol in yellow when I was 17 loved it im now 67😊
@@chrisward3605 I bet that was a great first car 😁 I'd have loved a transit van for my first. I'd have been having parties every weekend.
Beatiful van.
Cracking van but I would have spaced the wheels but that's just a personal preference. Great build 🤙🏻
And should be plain deep-dish steel rims with stock lights. But luvverlee noneetheless.
I love the old Transit vans especially the Supervans 😊❤
@@SandysAutoDetailing cool ey! Thos one is way cooler than the the Supervans though 😆
Butchered that video with the colour filter mate
I agree, is this van for sale? If so, how much? Love the Westminster Chime type of music at the end though.
Totally agree, unfortunately.
Butchered the van, never mind the video.
Shite couldn’t watch it shame as well van looked sick
Made me turn off before the end also
Brilliant work andy its truly an engineering masterpiece

Very cool!

Stunning van, amazing work all around. Personally though not a fan of the wheels or fitment. Sadly, just sold my mk1 :(
Awesome.
Nice. I want to get my hands on a 76-90 Econoline 150, for something similar.
Classic gypsy ride 😊

Any chance of an edit in colour, rather than grey/red. Takes away from the experience

The van looks mint, the video production looks crap.
Nice never seen one

Jeez, that's a fkin beauty ❤🎉
@@markwhitehouse3355 thanks you ✌️
Sweet
Wheel base abit narrow for the van to have a good stance
I heard that those transits were the most successful getaway cars ever
@elzharvskyz9621 definitely the most popular!
Ive got one twin sliding doors, tailgate,
Smooth hinged side door to clear front door when sliding back
Turbo Di automatic
But kept it flat front
And it's the early flat front split indicator type
@@User-wollswoycegawage nice! Sounds like a rare beast.

Quality

New here, will this be for sale?
@@R1davies no, sorry. All my builds are for customers who already own the vehicle.

Love the van hate the Scorpio wheels, better rims that would be amazing
Good video, shame about the color grading
Damn i hate nardo grey....ahhhhh
@@PeterBrock427 lucky for you then, it's not Nardo grey 😃
for example RUclipsErs
Cool Ford Transit, but why no engine and exhaust noise from it, except at idle? Just an annoying music video, while driving on the road.

Horrifically overstylised editing though, too focused on trying to look cool rather than actually being able to view the van and all its colours.
Horrible filter, couldn’t watch to the end even though I liked the build concept.
Stop painting cool stuff grey it so boring now
Ford didn't make 68 transit vans? Maybee your confused, do some homework or stop the clickbait

Re upload without the filter. It really doesn't do it justice
Technically brilliant but would look better not quite as low
