1968 Ford Transit Van with Scorpio BOB Swap AND Twin Turbos!

[@Simon-d8n]

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

[@mattlaws5966]

What a van, and done a great job

[@oldscooler]

@@mattlaws5966 thank you ✌️

[@leecorroon9510]

Butchered that video with the colour filter mate

[@rorykelly8275]

I agree, is this van for sale? If so, how much? Love the Westminster Chime type of music at the end though.

[@Howhard42]

Totally agree, unfortunately.

[@LeonKotze70]

Butchered the van, never mind the video.

[@andymcnab2.0]

Beautiful van, that's been done well.

[@oldscooler]

@andymcnab2.0 thanks you ✌️

[@andymcnab2.0]

@oldscooler What price tag you got on it?

[@oldscooler]

@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.

[@uavsitesurvey]

cool van... cool colour grading too..love it

@ you’re welcome! Is the 2.9 engine the cosworth tuned one that was in the high end scorpios?

[@oldscooler]

@MrPlum1282 yeah that's the one 👍

@ beast, and turbos now. Weapon!

[@ANGRYGEORGEV6]

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!

[@oldscooler]

@ANGRYGEORGEV6 Thanks Angry George 🙏 Glad you liked it and I hope it helps you get another modified classic on the road.

[@willenhallred7057]

Brilliant work andy its truly an engineering masterpiece

[@oldscooler]

@@willenhallred7057 thanks dude. Had a great time doing this one.

Stunning van, amazing work all around. Personally though not a fan of the wheels or fitment. Sadly, just sold my mk1 :(

As a guy obsessed with anything old and British I am begging you to let me come film this some time subscribed!

[@oldscooler]

@@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...

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

[@oldscooler]

@@baldyslapnut. Thank you very much 🙏 The filter is already the controversial point in this one 😁

[@RUX70N]

Awesome.

[@FantasticCraptacular]

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

[@Mr_Cholmondley_Warner]

Horrible filters

[@brianmurphy8790]

💯 The van looks mint, the video production looks crap.

[@zoob7]

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

Classic gypsy ride 😊

[@TheRealYorkshireman]

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.

[@garethbird4259]

Wheel base abit narrow for the van to have a good stance

Sweet

[@danielclift1]

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

[@oldscooler]

@@danielclift1 keen eye 👍 No, not worried as the van wasn't "finished" at the filming of the video.

[@oldscooler]

@@R1davies no, sorry. All my builds are for customers who already own the vehicle.

[@rockeroller]

It's the best looking British van?

[@simonnorup]

Yep drop the filters

[@d4zzyb0y]

Video was terrible, not sure what you were trying to achieve with the filters but made it unwatchable for me.

[@deplorablebristolian]

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.

[@oldscooler]

@@deplorablebristolian thanks for your input 👍👍

[@PeterBrock427]

Damn i hate nardo grey....ahhhhh

[@oldscooler]

@@PeterBrock427 lucky for you then, it's not Nardo grey 😃

[@brianmurphy8790]

I'd have preferred more van and less waffle.

[@oldscooler]

@@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.

[@13harward]

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.

[@larszenthio1012]

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.

[@michaelburbank2276]

Ford didn't make 68 transit vans? Maybee your confused, do some homework or stop the clickbait

[@stemac1969]

Horrible filter, couldn’t watch to the end even though I liked the build concept.

[@waterboy8999]

What's wrong with the colour ffs? 👎

[@richie674]

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 .

[@davids8449]

Van been butchered ......looks Horrible

[@oldscooler]

@@davids8449 I'll put that in with the rest of the constructive comments ✌️

[@alanevanson4873]

Why the silly narrow front wheel track? for the airbag or just used scorpio as is and thats how it ended?

[@oldscooler]

@@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.

[@dougthebuilder1]

Re upload without the filter. It really doesn't do it justice
