sparrow legs Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyboy Posted January 15, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndeere3040 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 just another withe panel van hihi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted January 15, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted January 16, 2009 Share 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 Share 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???

Fenside MF Posted January 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
