sparrow legs Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 heres a closer pic of the transit i cut the side door out of to make it look open, not the best attempt but first i have seen done i belive \ i may try another but takes a while to cut out also added a tool chest, light bar etc and weathered it for effect, hope you like Quote
Rhysmassey135 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Very nice weathered affect lookes good Quote
Murray Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 well done thats helped the $hity britains van alot Quote
graham Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 coming along nice mike nice tool set two Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 nice work mike, does it come with the floor lining in the back or have you fitted that to?? dont own one myself Quote
JC Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Nice idea Mike, just needs an MF or JD dealers name on now! Quote
sparrow legs Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 Nice idea Mike, just needs an MF or JD dealers name on now! when i decide a name for my workshop all 3 vans and the chevy will get sign writing sean, the inside is grey, havent painted it but may "ply line" the inside with paint, hope to add more extras in the back, need some sort of racking like the service vans had were i used to work Quote
FB Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 looks good Mike, 1st i think i've seen as well!. Shame they didnt really do it themselves, sure Corgi used to?? Quote
nothing runs like a **** Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 looks excellent, you have got the weathering spot on Quote
Simon Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I like that a lot Mike, really effective. Looks brilliant and a great idea. Top work mate Quote
johndeere3040 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 yeah it's looking really good to keep it up Quote
toyboy Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 this looks brilliant and with the tool chest in the back takes it even closer to reality, just one thing, not a criticism just an observation but are most side doors not on the passenger side of the van Quote
johndeere3040 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 just another withe panel van hihi Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Blooming great Mike.... that looks really well... what about a REAL ply lining mate... you can get some really thin ply from model shops... almost 'veneer' really... go for it mate... that really would put the cherry on the cake I reckon Quote

Lady Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Super job Mike. And re: the sliding door - the slide rail on the Britains Transit is on the passenger side so you wouldn't have had much choice really \ Quote
johndeere3040 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 nice. I love the tool chest me 2 that's a very nice detail Quote
Fenside MF Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 That is a great idea Mike ,do you reckon you could make it slide as well this looks brilliant and with the tool chest in the back takes it even closer to reality, just one thing, not a criticism just an observation but are most side doors not on the passenger side of the van Thats an rc2 misshap as they decided to put it on the wrong side but you could convert it to lhd then it's correct.

Tractorman810 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 dont think my skills are that good re the side door issue, alot of vans have a sliding door on both sides not sure on transits thoe \ mechanics i know use the r/h door as its closer to there tools after getting out the van all our new transist have sliders on both sides, the older 55 pltes ones just the one side mate, think its standard now for them??? Quote
Fenside MF Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I think it's an extra to have twin sliders or no cost option or something,don't think it's standard on the rc2 model it only has one on the wrong side Quote
sparrow legs Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 Super job Mike. And re: the sliding door - the slide rail on the Britains Transit is on the passenger side so you wouldn't have had much choice really \ i think you mean on the drivers side this one is anyway (britains) thanks for every ones comments, got a couple more vans comming so may try another for my workshop Quote
