Will This Old Abandoned Van Run

[@een-stoom-liefhebber]

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

[@shineautomotive]

What a little story thank you for Sharing it with us

[@Blackhammer123]

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 .👍

[@lucasbarton1773]

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!

@@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.

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 .

[@petelattimer6808]

@@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

[@petelattimer6808]

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'
