richmac Feb 2021 10:01am, 20 Feb 2021 15,180 posts	0 richmac A friend of mine has bought a transit connect with the intention of converting it. He has absolutely zero skills, don't worry I've pointed out the dubious wisdom of embarking on a project your are not equipped to undertake at length, so I imagine it'll be me doing the clever stuff. Any tips for the small end of things?

Not a pick of rust on it, low mileage, log book VIN matches the window, brakes in good condition, starts no problem. He took us for a spin, and it feels OK. Full year mot and newly serviced. 2 new all season tyres on front, back two will need replacing. Clean engine bay. Very good conversion too. Plenty storage space, comfy bed, very easy to deploy the bed, front seat swivels. Still a wee bit hesitant because of the low bhp and age of the van, but I do like it.
