Knew your view's would be good on this one guys, everyone loves a will it start video 🙂. Hopefully more to come, keep up the good work 👌

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!

The fact that the engines still run after years of sitting around doing nothing shows alot of quality in those old transit motors.

Love that engine noise. My father had a mk3 13ft pickup for 15 years. Cried the day he sold it in 2012. Been looking for it ever since to surprise him with it but I think it may be gone for good. Reg was G203RMY just in case anyone might know of it :)

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!

Good old smiley love to see that bought back

Fantastic viewing. You need your own telly show. Had a 1990 Transit with a pinto engine until recently. Got a couple of rads for that in the cellar..

Love to see this old transit back in it former glory

Merry Christmas to all and happy New year

You should 100% do the transit on the channel. It’s something totally different to anything else being done on KZread at the minute 👍🏻

Vans and trucks are so much more interesting than cars. I’m definitely in on this one.

I've not even watched this yet but yes if it's complete it will fire right up no problem.

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 .

Before I watch this, I can say that if the engine is good then it'll start on the button, those 2.5d were the very best engines ever produced, legendary donkey engine.

I drive a 20-year old Ford Transit SWB so I'm keen to see any Ford Transit work.

Always had a soft spot for transits, always had them as my work vans. Started off with a proper R reg rust bucket when I was 17 then a 52 plate Mk6, 53 plate Mk6, 61 plate Mk7, 60 plate Mk7, 65 plate mk8 and now I'm in a 70 plate mk8.

Just found your channel today ....I'll be binge watching the lot!

RAC had loads of Smiley 2.5TD's and have seen few campers with the same engine as well. The Smiley came up a treat after a wash.

LOVE TO SEE MORE LOVE THEM

Looking forward to this epic build 👌🏻😎
