Looks cool Terry I do like them looking lower 👌and a wise and smart move trying to get more longevity out of your work vehicle I’d say . So I guess a wide arch kit next then 🤔🤣

[@Tdevil86]

No no no, no wide arch stuff on this, I need paint it next and then leave it alone before it gets out of hand and ends up on a rotisserie lol

[@greggbutler9344]

They normally lower themselves when the suspension collapses through the rust 😂😂😂😂❤

[@Tdevil86]

Ain’t that the truth 🤣

[@leuvenlife]

I've got the L2 H2, full toys 140-330.. totally love it but yeah, she likes to rust underneath. Would love to make it look cooler, but I need that travel because my loads need it, Love a Mk 7, even though they don't handle in the wet..

[@Tdevil86]

I’d highly recommend the lanoguard mate, even now the underside on mine looks spot on! You can still make them look decent with travel, get some off-road style wheels, a guy on Facebook has a lifted 330 on nobbly tires and that looks pretty damn menacing to be honest lol

[@-Astro--]

Awesome fella looks shweeeet AF 👍 especially with the banded wheels. Can't believe how simple the front is to do

[@Tdevil86]

Can’t go wrong with banded steels, I still need to sell the other set i have yet lol Front is stupid easy and takes no time at all, the rear was surprisingly straight forward aswel to be fair

[@AdamsWorlds]

Actually glad i watched this one, was going to get some Lanoguard a few weeks back for the Golf. Ill probably get some the end of the month using the code if i can swing some time on the ramp. Always wondered what it applied like.

[@Tdevil86]

It’s good stuff to be fair, it’s so easy to apply, the worst bit is cleaning the underside and rubbing off all loose rust, underseal etc, well worth it in the long run though if it’s going to protect your car… I wish I could have used a ramp though, that would have been amazing!

[@paulriggers1558]

getting hot + sweaty under an old tranny, good weekend for some... i now have an idea of how to raise front suspension on my brother's ecosport... in the old days, if your leaf springs were flat, you got done for over-loading, regardless of what weight was in the back, i would be tempted to keep the reciept for springs in van...

[@Tdevil86]

Haha, atleast this is then right kind of tranny to have spent my weekend with lol Because the van does lean back a little I have been fully expecting to be pulled over but thankfully that’s it been the case yet. I think it’s abit more ‘normal’ to see a lowered van with aftermarket type wheels these days so maybe they’re not to bothered anymore?

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Nice job Tel. Shes looking smart!

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you George

[@leetozer4077]

Loving the video buddy can't wait to get mine done. Where in the country are u .

[@Tdevil86]

Get it done mate! I’m down south around Eastbourne

[@paulhaybyrne]

Crackin video Terry. All the things I want/need to do to my mk7

[@Tdevil86]

Cheers buddy, you should do it, lowering mine has definitely made it feel less boat like around the corners etc!

[@paulhaybyrne]

@@Tdevil86 Imagine how I feel tottering round on bog standard 15 inch rims 😁 it’s like driving round in a shopping trolleynew wheels and lowering are on my list thanks to your vids

[@Tdevil86]

Haha, I know that feeling all to well! I do still have the other banded 16” steels here if they’re of interest to you? They do need a couple of tires, and a good rub down/paint etc

[@HarleyFurgesson]

Love the lowering !! Terry, do the tyres clear the arches when the van is loaded ??

[@Tdevil86]

Hello mate, iv had some very very minor scrubbing on the rear when loaded, I think ideally I need a 60 side wall on the tires rather than 65. The front has been the worse but I am planing on rolling the arches a little before I paint the van

[@tbdogfosters]

looks 10 x better mate 👌

[@Tdevil86]

100% mate, I’m well happy with how it’s coming together now, repaint next though 🙈😅

[@nathanwilson4434]

Subscribed - Is this a different van? Noticed it’s a 63 plate and it was an 11 plate in your last video 🤔

[@Tdevil86]

Welcome aboard mate 🍻 and no, same van, I just messed up while cleaning this one and my old one and put the wrong plates on the wrong vans 🤦🏼😂

[@andypaul382]

Looks wicked fella 👌

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you mate 🍻

[@deanmichael3558]

Wondering if those 2nd set of banded wheels are still up for grabs

[@Tdevil86]

They certainly are, 300 takes them

[@deanmichael3558]

@@Tdevil86 ok are they balanced

[@deanmichael3558]

How can I contact you

[@Tdevil86]

@@deanmichael3558 I think they’re ok for balancing to be honest, they could with a rub down and repaint though ideally, as you’ll see in the video they’re painted badly with chips all over… Bung us a msg on instagram if you want them chap instagram.com/t_devil?igsh=eXZyaDJwamczeXpm&

[@mke1984]

Great video mate. What size are you wheels?

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you mate, mine are 16x8 on the front and 16x8.5 on the rear. You can go 9j on the rear but Anything wider on the rear you run into issues with the side door opening properly.

[@mke1984]

@@Tdevil86 thanks Terry. You know the part where you did the sills. You said u sanded, rust treated, primed and then stone chip sprayed. Was the stone chip just on underneath or on outside of van, did you get stone chip colour matched? Thanks

[@nathanwilson4434]

Where would I get some wheels like this from and what’s the tyre size? Will it pass a mot? Thanks

[@Tdevil86]

These are custom cut and banded 16” transit steel wheels, I do have another set that need a refurb for sale, they’re the ones I had originally fitted in the previous video…. £300 and they’re yours

[@nathanwilson4434]

@@Tdevil86 currently on the search for a clean(ish) mk7 . If I get one I may well take those wheels off you.

[@leemusselwhite9677]

A cheapest way to to stop the rust is to spray old engine oil 🤣🤣

[@dhes2809]

What’s happening to the escort van mate? To many projects?

[@Tdevil86]

Actually been contemplating selling the van but I think il fix it first and use it for abit before I make any decisions. The money from the van could go a decent way towards one of the cars…

[@bozobaz30]

Why would you want to lower a transit

[@-Astro--]

Are you new here? 😂

[@Tdevil86]

To keep myself entertained lol

[@stephenbradley5805]

And why not lower it, I lowered my Nissan navara np300

[@stuartrobson4891]

I think the question you should ask is...... why wouldn't you lower it?

[@neilsmalley3008]

They standard wheels with bigger tyres
