The only thing i havn't done is Paint her as u will see in the pictures i have atatched : The van has surface rust spots on it which Some have come
out with quite simply polishing them, others i have been protecting by rubbing oil into them with a rag....
A Panel beater has inspected the truck!! Quote : it would take 10 years or more for this surface rust to become holes as the panels are so thick and
advised me to rub oil into patches untill i paint the van...
There is absolutely no major rust in this truck Sills underneath are still original and rust free even roof gutters are perfect.
The ONLY!!! 3 rust holes... Front Left hand Quarter Panel Smaller than 5 cent piece's!!!!
You can spend upto $200 for Plate Welding...
This truck has never been bogged........

No dings.... 2 very minor scratch's most likely against a gate..
Comes with many parts including Brand new set of 2 Solid Steel Heads for V6 motor handy to have lying around and are valued at $2000.00, the ideal
thing to do is put her on gas spare new heads are ideal for this conversion... Front sliding windows, chrome Badges, hub caps, miscellanious
parts....
Rare Import from London : My Transit was built in UK..... most others in australia were built in australia for Australia Post after the early Combi
vans started blowing up....
V6 Motor was installed and Engineered in London before import....
Roughly 12 litres to 100km's freeway driving
Van is Legally registered in N.S.W with 3 months rego left.
I have had a lot of fun in this Truck/Van and have seen some amazing place's
one of the best things about her i reckon is that u can legally drive with the sliding doors open.....There is also a huge amount of area in the back
which u can do whatever u like with... Im gonna miss her : The Beast....
She also has a Sony Cd Player sound system with speakers....
Some People spend up to $75,000 on a new car or 4wd this is a very cheap vehicle and mechanically almost perfect, it has never broken down on me.. The
motor is very strong and you can tow almost anything you like... You can Travel in her and Tow a caravan or Boat.... I have Carried out almost all the
neccessary repairs so all you have to do is paint her... Thats if you want to.
The truck is currently located in Australia V.I.C. Melbourne Fitzroy 3065 If u are wanting to buy and are in Vic just letting u know there is no RWC
required to transfer into vic rego she has nsw rego..... And when you transfer from n.s.w. rego to v.i.c. rego there is no roadworthy required it is a
clean swap but you do have to pay for registration and new plates.. The remainding rego on N.S.W.. Will be refunded via mail....
$5000.00 Not Negotiable...
The Beast is a daily driver............
