Great to see it's being saved these old transits are pure gold! Many years ago i drove one from a company i used to work. They told me after a year they where going to start changing the car park i could even choose, so i told them i would love to stick to the ford and i could for another 6 years great memories coming up seeing this!
After that job i also worked at carglass they drove one old transit van front wheel drive and i just loved it as well
Later i worked as a cab driver in a newer model transit it was easier to shift i got to admit that, but still it had this raw sound while flooring it and kinda the same trusted feelings while driving,
I would pick a transit over a MAN / crafter / whatever any time
What a little story thank you for Sharing it with us
I don’t usually watch videos fully, especially not long ones, but this was so worth it! Laughed a lot, those transits last forever! Glad to hear you still have the Renault 25, hugely rare car in the UK now, will be worth much more than when you got it 2 years ago!
Thanks buddy. that’s well nice to know you enjoyed the video :)
@@shineautomotive Had a Renault 25 Monaco years ago into which I fitted the 2.1 diesel engine and transaxle that had been fitted previously to an 18 estate, Fuego 2L GTXA and a 21 estate. The 2l petrols that they replaced went like the proverbialoff a shovel but you couldn't keep them in petrol lol. Straight bolt in swap and the electrics were plug and play. Ignition module unplugged from the bulkhead and the glow module plugged straight in.
@@simov8chevy Wow that’s wicked to know thank you
@@shineautomotive no problem!
My Dad had a Renault 20-something that talked.
The fact that the engines still run after years of sitting around doing nothing shows alot of quality in those old transit motors.
it sure does
i agree those old 2.5 are bomb proof.
Love that engine noise. My father had a mk3 13ft pickup for 15 years. Cried the day he sold it in 2012. Been looking for it ever since to surprise him with it but I think it may be gone for good. Reg was G203RMY just in case anyone might know of it :)
mot ran out in 2014 so may be gone now
@@shineautomotive yeah I know. Had a long failure list too. Not sure how it got that bad in 2 years
Knew your view's would be good on this one guys, everyone loves a will it start video 🙂. Hopefully more to come, keep up the good work 👌
thanks sam
Hello @@shineautomotive
@@adamcrane7732 hello
Hello@@shineautomotive
Good old smiley love to see that bought back
thank you so much for your feedback
Love to see this old transit back in it former glory
ok we will try
Love too see this transit back on the road slowly fading off the scene. these for me was the best of the transits grew up around the mk4s give her the make over she deserves .👍
We will get these transit is done I promise you that
just found your channel Colin , love the old transits , we've had heaps of them over the years and my old man drove them as ambulances for donkeys years starting with a mk1 V4 petrol that even from brand new would need arms like Schwarzenegger to change gear in ! i currently have an 04' mk6 crew cab tipper , giving it the works for the MOT at the moment , plenty of hidden rust on the rear crossmembers , sills , arches and drivers step , its mechanically perfect apart from rust and would pull a mountain , i believe the newer ones ( 09' onwards ) are complete rubbish so im gonna keep this old girl going for as long as i can . big love from Ireland .
Couldn’t agree with you anymore Terry thanks for sharing your little story
You should 100% do the transit on the channel. It’s something totally different to anything else being done on RUclips at the minute 👍🏻
ok dave thanks for ya feedback on this
Always had a soft spot for transits, always had them as my work vans. Started off with a proper R reg rust bucket when I was 17 then a 52 plate Mk6, 53 plate Mk6, 61 plate Mk7, 60 plate Mk7, 65 plate mk8 and now I'm in a 70 plate mk8.
nice jake and bet you loved everyone of them
Fantastic viewing. You need your own telly show. Had a 1990 Transit with a pinto engine until recently. Got a couple of rads for that in the cellar..
lol telly ha
Yes please Colin, would be something different than the cars, amazing how it started. Never change from your current format of working, make me smile 😃 every time.
thanks we do believe in keeping it real
Lads I’m so proud of you both 👍 honestly 16 months ago I found this channel, and you are now here with 13k. Let’s crack on! Not my Job not my Problem !
Let the shine family grow. So so so so so proud of you both.
It’s absolutely amazing I’m over the moon buzzing is the word
That’s the last of the real transits . Well worth restoring . That’ll make a cracking recovery truck . 100% reliable
sure is
Love "will it run?" and restoration videos like this.
thanks so much
Awesome to see the Transit running. Classic Ford and hope you guys do more videos on this build. Being back memory's of a kid. Watching TV ads of the Ford Transit. The back bone of Britain. Number 1 seller.
Remember the advert
RAC had loads of Smiley 2.5TD's and have seen few campers with the same engine as well. The Smiley came up a treat after a wash.
cheers davie sure did
I drive a 20-year old Ford Transit SWB so I'm keen to see any Ford Transit work.
No worries it will be coming up at some point
Vans and trucks are so much more interesting than cars. I’m definitely in on this one.
cool
This channel never fails to make me smile, really enjoy the content you guys produce, would like to see the Transits being worked on plus good to see the lad learning the oldskool way of things 🙂👍keep up the top work as always.
thanks kev proper nice comment
Before I watch this, I can say that if the engine is good then it'll start on the button, those 2.5d were the very best engines ever produced, legendary donkey engine.
enjoy the video
I had a mk5 nothing ever went wrong with it it’s just a shame they rusted so quickly
Hope you weren't working today Collin
Do I wanna see it done of course I do and everything else as you might say "let's crack on"
All the best Clive
@@cliveking6333 No I just edited this video in the afternoon for a couple of hours
The 90s ford transit is a British classic peace of history it would be absolutely amazing if you transformed it in to a recovery truck from the 90s that would be so cool.
no worries
Would love to see more of these sort of videos mate! Also would be wicked to see a recovery truck build, thinking about doing one my self
nice one get cracking on . thanks for letting me know ya want to see more let’s see how this video goes
Definitely 👌
@@shineautomotive anyone thinking of a transporter conversion on a Transit or similar, work out what you plan to carry on it before diving into the work, and how you will keep the weight down. back in the day these and similar vehicles were used to circumvent the 3500GVM tachograph rules. even a chassis cab like this, from memory weighs close to 2000kgs. add another 500ish for even an alloy body, ramps and winch leaves you with a tonne legally. in car form, all but the very lightest mk4 (1996 onwards) Ford Fiesta would weigh that, which would leave you with no weight left for ANYTHING. its why you dont see many of them around built on Transit bodies now. the risks and fines are too high for being caught overweight, plus the powers that be all know that weight is very limited so pull in such vans. the way around is to up plate them and use a tachograph, but then you might as well use a stronger, better suited 7.5 tonne vehicle to begin with
100% mate
Hello @@shineautomotive
Just found your channel today ....I'll be binge watching the lot!
Great project Transits!!
Best wishes from Ireland.
Welcome to the channel we have lots of videos for you to catch up on they’ll be a test at the end of the month LOL
This will be brilliant restored. Absolutely love the old smiley Transits.
thanks mate
So lovely seeing a Ford helping other Fords ❤. And a handy young man going at fixing them, I myself spent the Sunday after Christmas mounting a exhaust 😅.
lol welcome
100% get this transit back to its former glory mate. Great content as always and I really hope your channel takes of more and more mate. Gutted hearing about the fire. Hard times!
thanks so much . i do love making these videos
Merry Christmas to all and happy New year

I've not even watched this yet but yes if it's complete it will fire right up no problem.
did you like it ?
I used to have a Transit 2.5Di 1989 on a G reg, it got nicked by a pair of professional thieves back in August 1999 I had upgraded it a lot & it was the best van I had ever owned.
I bet you was absolutely gutted I can’t stand things like this
Can we please have more of these videos please so shocked the transit moved and even more amazed at how decent it looks after the wash seeing as its stood there 5 or so years
happy u liked it
Love to see more of mk5 and mk6 as both are my favourite generations of transit love from ireland
welcome buddy
Yes do the transit with Lewis he will always remember that all his live he can tell his kids then
very true . It’s getting brilliant interest that I think it will definitely happen can stick Louis on it when the weather gets better getting things ready for the big welding misson
I've got the same which was an ambulance turned camper ,it's a custom and uprated diff,shocks,gbox , alternator,was a weapon on the continent 👍🏻
sounds really nice
Love the old smiley transits, had one back in 97. I am sure it would
Make a good resto project. Crack on.
will do
Nice to see you giving Lewis a go , It would make a great project for him with you help
that’s the plan . when the weather picks up off to set him on a few jobs on it
The spark plugs were probably seized shut. Just replace the spark filters & run some super unleaded through the upper tank valves & it'll start no bother
lol If it was petrol but it’s diesel
Would definitely like to see this restored.
My brother has been restoring his sons M reg smiley beavertail for a year or so now.
“Let’s crack on “
thanks buddy
great that is mate, ive got a smiley recovery non turbo 'for now', i dont work it i just love it i use it to pick up my classics 3 or 4 times a year. cant beat them, engines are solid like a barge, i just sit and listen to it sometimes, be good to see the progress, have a good 2022 all the best, jon
I definitely wouldn’t want to put the mrs 5 to work now . I think it needs to be made into something show worthy where the mk6 six could be a nice daily user
I agree a build series on the mk5 would be good id suggest raptor lining and wax oiling the inner arches and bed for future protection keep up the good work 👍🏼👍🏼
I would maybe raptor underneath the cab but not the chassis I believe that still needs to stay a smooth finish
Love these old mk 3,4,5 transits they are my favourite ones live to work on one also I would love to see the work being done
ok 👍 we will do it
Def like to see both the transits getting done up
It’s definitely going to happen just when that’s the question :-)
I wish a lot more videos would be done, been restoring my 1989 2.0lt pinto, automatic, Transit Mk/3 frisky camper last six months, bits are getting harder to get (and expensive), keep up the good work.
nice work sounds a good job
Definitely see more videos on the transit build, Colin. 👍👍
ok no worries
All car people love the old di s. Ive got a lwb turbo mk5 van. And a swb 25 di mk3 pickup. The mk3 i am busy making rear hanger boxes because you carnt get them. Your turbo sounds nice and fit and they are well worth fixing. Good luck lads.
Definitely worth saving thanks for telling me about your vehicles you may have some spares to help me along :-)
Just started watching. No issue with that running again!
new
to the channel ? welcome
Been watching a few but quite new. Like the idea of a recovery truck build👌👌
Love it. My favourite channel. Never thought that watching a couple of old Transits being started for the first time in ages would be so entertaining. Hope you had a good Xmas break lads. John 👍
thanks john . Was a good one and thanks for always putting nice comments in the comment section see you in the New Year
Love an old transit ! Get it done mate! Look nice with that fiesta on the back 👌🏽
oh yes it would
Build them all I’ll watch
Good to know . thanks
God you are so like my old man. Reminds me of when i was a kid and used to help him at the yard.
oh cool is that . so happy you got reflection from this video
Would love to see more of this colin. Be good to see panels being cut out and new ones welded back in and this van back on the road. I love the mk3-mk4 shape transits when you fired it up I shouted yes get it there 😆 🤣 it sounds mint 👌
Do both transits well worth a watch love to see things resurrected from the dead 👍👍
thanks mate good to know .
Great video Colin. Would love to the MR2 project on the channel and definitely turning this transit into a recovery truck on the channel. Epic idea. Let’s go for 20k by the summer.
i would love that to happen 20 k. subs would be crazy love . thanks for watching the videos
Excellent experience for an apprentice! 👍👍👍, get it done on the channel. It’ll make great content!
Yes he is looking forward to getting working on it as well
@@shineautomotive that'll be a great project to cut his teeth on!
RUclips recommended I watch this so I recommend you do it up 👍🏻 I was laughing start to finish with the antics 🤣 keep it up mate, you’ve just earned another subscriber 😎
thanks buddy welcome to the channel
Crack on wiv the build m8. Love seeing old cars/vans braught back to life! Keeps different content for ur channel too
absolutely couldn’t agree more Ryan
One of the best videos you have ever done , would certainly like to see more videos on both transits
wow that’s topper thanks 🙏 What’s the reason why you really like this video?
@@shineautomotive lots of content for a short video , real problems and how to deal with them in the real world not staged in any way
Loving your state of the art Hammer technology fixed 90% of the issues here!
Took many of years to learn that art and sat down in the classroom studying swing technology I don’t know if that sounds wrong LOL cheers for watching
My kinda video. I miss mucking about with old motors. Keep it up mate
thanks buddy
Definitely build a recovery truck. There are so many of us who'd like to do the same so we could learn from you.
maybe ya rite
Build it Col 👌 I had a mk1 transit 1972 from Wiltshire fire brigade it was a support vehicle I friggin loved it and I absolutely love transits full stop .
Build it brother and they will watch 👍 sorry to here about the fire dude what terrible bad luck it’s nice to see you got through it and started to SHINE once again 👏👏
We are slowly getting there it’s gonna take a long time to recuperate what I’ve lost but now I’m on a plane level to start again
It would be nice to see it back on the road
let’s do it
Yes build a sick recovery truck out of it
sick bro
Damn man a "little" fire :-0 Green covered sh*tbox, Shine Automotive favourite pas time! :D Good job man!
ok big fire lol
Hi great content again I’m not bothered what you film my personal favourite is the xrTT but I still watch all your vids because I like the way you film them keep it up lads 👍
thank you so much for the supporting comment extremely uplifting thank you
LOVE TO SEE MORE LOVE THEM
No worries thanks for your feedback
Nice to see you back
where have i been ? lol
YES let's see the mk4 transit build and the tow / recovery truck build on the channel, proper interesting. Somat you don't hear said these days; that's a bonnie Tranny ......... okay, I'm going now. Thanks for the video Collin 👍🏻
thanks for ya feedback see ya in the next one
Great transit content always loved the transit all shapes especially the old ones.
There is actually not many videos On here about transits there’s about a handful so will go down well 💯😎
Thank you for your feedback Wayne good to know.
@@shineautomotive there’s not many on the cab chassis anyway my mate 👍🏻
Old Ford's never die
So true
I'd love to see more videos of this van ... making sure I hit that subscribe 💪
Welcome to the channel we have loads of videos you to catch up on Cheers
would love to see the transit rebuilt especally being the turbo one and what back you are putting on it
that would make great content
Thanks buddy So happy you enjoyed this video
@@floydholohan1046 that would be great
Would love to see more of these builds!
Nice one let’s see what happens
ok let’s do it
Love the old Di definitely worth some love, lion are only any good as anchors
😂
definitely worth doing up the transit truck!!!
thank you welcome to the channel if you’re new hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications then you won’t miss a single one of our crazy uploads welcome again
Definitely save it ! Build a recovery trucks or two with the pair. Great video and content !
thanks for watching and ya feedback
Another good video, thanks, the Mk6 is undoubtedly the better drive but you can't beat the reliability of the Mk5 Smiley which brings back fond memories of my old beavertail and having to shout at passengers to be heard, i hope you get time to sort out both, it would be nice to see some tuning on the Mk5 turbo as a useful 120 - 130 bhp or so isn't too difficult to achieve apparently.
Yeah definitely this video is gone down very well
@@shineautomotive Cool, we'll look forward to a few more videos and some quality workmanship then sir.
Hi Colin…just found your channel and sub and liked…..an absolutely pleasure to watch this…best wishes……keep em coming
thanks so much and welcome
Loved this video gives me faith in my old van now
thanks . cheers for watching
New to the channel. Sorry to hear about the fire but good to see you’re getting back on track. I’d like to see a vid on the transit heavy bed if you do one. Keep up the good work
i’m sure it will pop up on the channel at some point. Don’t worry about the fire it is what it is. Welcome to the channel hope we can stick around we have lots of content for you to catch up on :-) welcome once again
Hey up my mates, I searched transit restorations many month’s ago and there’s only a hand full out there. It would be a fantastic build. Why don’t you set it as as Lewis’s project for his apprenticeship at college. I’m sure the shine family would back/fund that for his apprenticeship/collage project. How nice would that be shine automotive fans????
Excellent idea
@@shineautomotive great minds think 🤔 a like 👍
👍👍👍 The old Ford Transit is unbreakable. I know this because I own one of them.😉
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel if you’re new hope you can subscribers and stick around
Got to safe the old transits Colin , they are classic . They are part of van history . Without them we wouldn't have all the vans we got today .
very true think it needs to happen
Love to see transit done. Well done Lewis 👍😂❤️🔧🚗
he did good may get him working on it for extra content in the better weather
THANKS
Do it up Colin it’s ace I love the old transits I’ve had loads of them but never a recovery truck.. so yer mate let’s see the content coming up soon brilliant mate love every video you lads do 😉
thanks for watching them all
recovery trucks on Transit bodies are pretty much pointless nowadays though as most cars weigh far too much to be legally carried on them. from memory even just a Chassis cab with single cab weighs 2 tonnes+ which means you have to build/buy a body, all the kit you want (winch, lights etc) get it all on and see what it weighs. unless you are carrying something like a Classic Mini, almost anything will take you over the 3500kgs weight limit for avoiding a Tachgraph, which was why so many transits were used in the past! even something like a mk4 Fiesta (1996 on) will weigh around a tonne in its lightest (car) form, plus the weight of the transporter body, weight of the vehicle passengers, and you are soon over legal weight. thats why so many of the 'scrap' collectors now dont even run them (or similar) as the risks of being caught overweight far outweigh what they would make on the 'scrap'
@@petelattimer6808 couldn’t do anything but disagree with you entirely on that, I have a mk4 transit recovery that weighs 2.1 ton empty with half a tank of fuel and me, can carry a fair few different cars now with a payload of 1400kg.
@@petelattimer6808 these kind of transporters atleast in holland and germany. Are 4500kg versions put on 3500kg papers. Doesnt matter wich brand. Mb, VW.
Geeat old vans😎
Would be great to see the smiley back on the road
defo getting some
love on this video
Would love to see you build this as I have my own to build as well and need to be inspired 😉 love the channel fella you and the lads are doing great and yep I agree the young lad need to learn older girls as well as new 👍
for sure he will
learn more
from this as well . thanks buddy merry christmas
@@shineautomotive merry Christmas to you to fella
Another ace video! I was on the edge of me seat, willing both Transits to move 😁😁Would love to see both Transits done! Mk5 n mk6 recovery ones 👍 quick question......if Lewis has a day off, could i come and be the apprentice for the day? Would quite happily book a day off work and come over from Lancashire to work for you 👍 Paul
sure we can sort something
@@shineautomotive that would be ace 👍👍👍
Looking forward to this epic build 👌🏻😎
I'm a new sub soon as I saw MK5 2.5DI RARE TURBO instantly subed
welcome to the channel
Yessss brothers.... Good old dirty bit of fun with the boys 💪
sure was
Absolute legend's,really look forward to watching you guys.
thanks hope u liked this one ?
Can’t beat the old smily transit, I would still run one if I could find a clean one mk6 is decent as well, I’m stuck with the mk7 i think it’s made of chocolate, definitely up for the transit videos 🤙
Yeah the mk sevens didn’t seem to do very well with the engines but I think a mk 7 front end on the six would look good
@@shineautomotive oh yeah they definitely look smarter, you can do the dash swap as well with a set of transit custom sports seats to finish it off nicely then when you get board you can stick a bmw 330d engine in it there’s loads been done now it’s quite easy, there’s a Facebook page called transit m57s or something like that
Lve the smiley fronts. Relly hard to find now a days pal.ther great driving wee van im making my one into a campervan year 2000 140k miles keep it well. Dont like to see them rot away and forgot about 🤙😎
I’m a big fan of transits especially the older ones 👍👍
thanks
Save both the transits 🙌🏻
looks like people wanna see more like
Transit recovery build would be great to see 👍👍👍
thanks buddy
This needs too be saved got so much love for the old transits
Hello mate yes sure does
Deffo convert the old girl into a recovery truck. Would be mint 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
defo
'This is good learning for you Lewis!'
Just don't complain when he covers your brake pads and shoe friction surfaces on your Bentley brakes and you go through a wall when you first use them 🤣
lol 😂
Love this ,get at that transit ,not near enough of that exact content anywhere despite all the stuff out there, great video lads keep it up 👍👍👍
thanks so much
I didn’t know Ford was making Transits in the 90s. We miss our Econolines here in the states, still a ton of them on the road! Can’t kill them
Been making them since the 60's in Europe.
where you from
sure have back bone in the uk
@@shineautomotive north of Detroit city Michigan about an hour. Where are you from?Econolines have been the backbone of the US too, for decades. We’re used to our V8s and big diesels in these vans so the Transit Econolines have been a bit of a change. I haven’t bought one yet because I need the extendo, dually TD and they’re impossible to find unless you order them brand new!
