Soooo......its been a while since I've updated this for the tourneo, not much has changed yet, I've hardly been using it and even contemplated selling it at 1 point due to lack of use
I went to mania in it last year, had a blast down the strip and that was the most I've used it in the last 12months, it's done just over 300miles in that time.
The MOT has just ran out which has lead me to do something with it to make it more useful for me and the family,
(Drum roll........)
I'm going g to convert it to 4x4!
I was looking into using county running gear but parts availability look to be an issue, especially if I go abroad and break down, im also going to be doing a basic dayvan conversion in the rear for some weekend usage
I'll be using discovery 2 axles and a divorced lt230 transfer box with custom trailing arm mounts etc, I've got a whole donor car for the running gear and I've already taken loads of measurements and the axles are a pretty decent substitute so fingers crossed I can make this work
If not she'll be going back as she was as I won't make anything that can't be put back to factory
Esit: here's a little vid of me and Mark running up the strip, I also made an insta page for the van too
