I Bought ANOTHER Recovery Truck! Copart 2006 Ford Transit

Hi guys in today's video we take a look at our latest project, a Ford Transit Recovery Truck. Like any project it needs some work but overall it's a fairly good base to start with. Let me know what you guys think!

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

Well done for reaching 1000 Subs mate :)

[@SalvageDiaries]

Thanks mate I'm so grateful. Cannot quite believe it!!!👊🏼👊🏼

[@benevans3733]

Yes some work to do but I’m sure that you will make a really good job on it

[@SalvageDiaries]

Thanks Ben mate that means alot pal 👊🏼

[@stuartdavison8459]

Looks like a good buy red and black body should look good you could put some reflective wrap on the bonnet and doors to tidy it up as its a recovery truck stay safe mate 👍🍺

[@SalvageDiaries]

Reflective wrap is a good shout mate there are a few things il be adding to the list of things to do (only extras to make it look pretty)

[@mrdanfaulkner]

Really enjoyed this video and looking very forward to this series! I personally would keep this over the Vauxhall, maybe even do a front end conversion to make it look newer :)

[@jasonhobbs5611]

Same here mate I've got a mk6 transit it's a much better van than most, I'd love a mk7 front end fitted.

[@mrdanfaulkner]

jason hobbs Would be worth it! The best of both worlds then, reliable engine of the MK6 with the looks of the MK7 👌

[@benevans3733]

Another great video and hope you make a nice profit it when you come to sell it on and hope you Are staying and well

[@SalvageDiaries]

Thanks Ben I should make a nice little profit on this one. Keeping costs down is key and the fact it's only cosmetics and nothing major really helps

Good old truck mate . Black stone chip the sills maybe and go over with some glass black deep dish wheel trims really tidy it up from ebay also some recovery stickers and you will get a cheap waterproof seat cover from home bargains to tidy up the drivers seat .. another good video mate very down to earth hope you and the family are well .did the transit have a private plate on R something looks like it in the video your an inspiration mate to get me back out there . Was in the sales with cars and various motor trade jobs for 20 years before ill health and gave up the business might go again on a smaller scale good wee yard u have .and yes the red and black on the body be good when is the partner and combo going to make an appearance look forward to it

[@SalvageDiaries]

Hi mate I appreciate your comment love reading great comments. Seat cover is a good shout. Will deffo pick one of those up. Haha no the plate you saw on it was put on to see how a smaller plate would look on the truck. The combo is now sold I am going to be buying a van from auction and document the rebuild. I thought it's time to move on from the combo and bring something else to the channel 👊🏼

[@gc5384]

[@Rick-sl7iw]

Hi mate great video I think you may of found the way forward with recovery trucks they do sell for good money 💴 I think the red and black will clean it right up mate 👍🏻 not sure how mad you wanna go with it but maybe some flashing beacons? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Tyronnster]

Good luck buddy.

[@SalvageDiaries]

Thanks Paul mate

[@shanebrown6667]

Mk7 the front end should bump price up a bit and a common mod

[@SalvageDiaries]

Yeah when I was looking for my truck I really wanted a transit and I would have done that if I was keeping her, but my one has ali body and is lower mileage.

[@stuartpaton8087]

[@SalvageDiaries]

[@cineesefuprimul3280]

[@namesanmanname297]

Good project, what did it cost you, do you disclose these figures, and how much you want to spend on it?

[@SalvageDiaries]

Hi mate yes I disclose figures once the vehicle is ready to be sold.👊🏼

[@paddykelly3095]

Replace your vauxhall with a smiley transit or old sprinter

[@wtwtch123]

[@SalvageDiaries]

That I'm unsure of, will hopefully get her weighed soon!
