Brilliant build and very well done. I would be interested to know how you sorted the gearchange out. I'm putting an E90 lump in a mk7 and you have inspired me to look at changing the rear axle to an IRS. Again, well done, I love it. So glad there are blokes out there doing this stuff. And those who say you can't mod this or that are wrong, these bits are made by people and believe it or not there are more skilled people out there more than capable to do these jobs.
I wanna build a fast diesel van like this and make it look like a class 55 deltic. Green two - tone livery and script on the sides that says "Iffy Brailleways" instead of "British Railways"
Awesome van, great to see underneath and to share your experiences, thank you. Could you advise where you sourced the fake DPF? For research purposes you understand...
Thanks for the video, this is awesome. This is very similar to a dream build I've had in my head for years except using a newer N57 xdrive setup. (Slightly lighter engine but actually more common, 335ds are ten a penny here). Do you reckon the zf 8 speed those cars use would fit? The idea for the spacers for the diff is actually really clever and cheaper and more reliable than custom drive shafts. Are they turned on a lathe out of solid steel? Do you think it would have been possible to move the suspension out at all for less intrusion in to the interior? Is the master cylinder etc for the brakes from the transit or the E60? Do you think you could have got abs working and/or why did you choose to remove it? Thats a lot of questions sorry.... Also how tight is the fitment of the engine in the bay
At the start I had the 6hp installed and it had lots of space Shaft spacers were solid bar turned down in lathe and hollow to decrease weight The shock towers possibility could make them less as I made these to suit air suspension at a later date Space in the bay is actually quite a bit, there's at least 1foot each side from engine to chassis Thanks for the intrest
Nice video, no messing around with gimics. I am thinking about something similar with an international KB1. How did you work out the selector? Thought I saw it come up for sale.
Hi there, linkage is just a mechanism on back of box to take the cables, it was for sale but I got messed about so much with buyers I stood it off the market and daily it now

Nice one pal. The race ? Aerodynamics will kill you, chum. 4 months ago, let's see.
Should have worked on a Transporter, not a Transhit 🤢
Did you look up about your new transporter t7?.....it is built on a transit platform 😂😂
