Put a new starter motor on it this evening as the old one was packing up.
Genuine Ford part should last longer this time.

Going on holiday on Tuesday for a couple of weeks, then moving house once we're back.

After that, I will seriously look at booking it in somewhere for a paint. Cant wait to start using it this summer.

That's an interesting transit bodykit!
I think with this and the arch's I agree with everyone saying that this all needs to be one colour and a nice smooth paintjob to show off all the other hard work you've done on the thing. I thing std blue or the Ford racing blue would be a nice look too.

I would have said chrome side bars or twin side pipes would be cooler than the side skirts, but as they match the front and rear kit, then I suppose they are cool too.

There's lots of room in the front bumper mouth for a massive huge FMIC now too!

[binge]

Massive FMIC will be getting ordered once I've sorted the paint etc. I know I will be impatient otherwise and fit one, which will lead on to it getting damaged from being removed and re-fitted constantly.

The kit is a modified Transit SportVan kit, standard on the Mk7:

Some trimming of my arches is needed to get the kit to sit flush, and I will need to make some brackets up for the skirts.
Once painted, I think it'll look pretty good though, and being standard Ford styling, should keep quite subtle (Disregarding the wheels of course )

A sporty looking transit is cool.

However those wheels

I like them because people hate them.

Going to get 5mm lathed off the front hubs and mating faces of the wheel to bring them in by 10mm. Should sit under the arches then.

It'll look sweet when done, no matter how much you'd have to drink to truly adore the rims!

Good shout on delaying fitting the huge FMIC too, as when the end tanks get scratched and are on full display they can look a bit annoying/shit. My car is like this now, and the nice Forge cooler sticking out of the bumper has some right old scratches all over it now.

If it's not going to sit 100% flush with the bumper surface I really would consider some kind of large open weave mesh grille to protect it slightly from stone chips etc, yet still show off the serious engine pipework and obvious minerals!

Are you going blue on all your Samco's?
