Haven’t seen an early Mk2 Transit in absolutely bloody ages. I remember years ago there was a blue and white 4x4 Transit a few houses up from me, that was an F reg (1989ish?) and was looking pretty tired by that point already and this was the early 2000’s. The later ‘Smiley Face’ Mk2 facelifts were still somewhat common and could be seen up until late 2000’s or early 2010’s. Mostly all been run into the ground as workhorse vehicles and now scrapped. 😕 To see an early version and a Pinto petrol engine version especially is very strange to me as a Brit, I can only ever remember diesel powered ones. That old Pinto sounded pretty tired, brought back memories of clapped out Sierras and Mk3 Granadas. 😆

I had a couple of these, -98, 2.5 TD with Lucas dieselpump as a daily driver and -97 2.5D with Bosch pump as donor car. Good vans except rust, have done about 90 000 km with it. Notice also not quite usual 6-bolt pattern but ordinary rear wheels mounting, mine ones had 5-bolts pattern (were short wheelbase both).

I had the same engine in a 1980 2.0 Ford Cortina - it didnt quite sound like that though. I think that was one knackered Pinto engine, firing on 3 cylinders, exhaust totally shot, bouncing up and down under the van - sounded like the engine was about to blow up at the end. At least the suspension didnt collapse like on that old Ford Courier van you did several years back, and that was newer as well. Tranny vans do like to rust though, and to see one more than 15 years old in the UK is rare, as most have rusted away by then and would not pass another MOT. Nice to see an old Pinto engine and Weber carb though, brought back memories of my old Cortina, that I owned 33 years ago.
@stevejones1972 Жыл бұрын
Imagine how many older cars could still be on the road today in the UK if MOT wasn’t a thing and road salt wasn’t used. I also worry about a lot of the gray market imports from North America and Eastern Asia and the parts availability for those cars as they age in the UK. Most cars here that are driven in the winter are usually killed off by rust as well. I remember hearing about how someone’s body on frame Tahoe split in half because of how bad the rust was. It’s a double edged sword I guess. On one hand, you give people with lower levels of income a means of transportation but on the hand you get more vehicles that have extensive corrosion issues; although the latter usually takes a while to develop.
@whatamisupposedtoputhere Жыл бұрын
@@whatamisupposedtoputhere MOT is a thing in many countries, its basically to help ensure that deathtraps that could fall apart at 60MPH and kill people due to severely corroded bodywork and chassis etc that lets go at speed. Imagine if that old Transit was allowed to drive on a highway in that condition, and it had a major structural failure leading to suspension or steering failure at speed, well, I know MOT is a nuiscance that can write a vehicle off and deem it beyond economic repair, but do we really want dangerous, defective vehicles driving round, that could potentially cause death and injury to other motorists? I drive safer in the UK knowing that the vast majority of cars behind or in front of me are not about to shear in half or suffer major mehcanical failure in the brakes, suspension etc, or are driving round on tyres that are so bald they could blow out at any moment - We all hate the time our cars have to have their yearly inspection, and the costs it could incur, but if it was a country or state that didnt have inspections, would you want to be hit in the rear by a van like the one in this video? Gotta be safe rather than sorry, even if this means a vehicle is sent to the scrap yard before its 15th birthday. I'm all for cars of 30+ years old driving round, but only if they are roadworthy and safe to drive. Funnily enough, in the UK, cars over 40 years old are considered historic vehicles and as such do not have to have MOT tests, but even then, the police could still order them off the road if they find them not safe to be on the roads.

About especially this generation Ford Transits, those what are still in the move are usually not missing mechanical parts like engines or gearboxes, but are suffering of rust in frame and body. And those rarities who are still in mint condition, they don't want to utilize anything from this old beaten up one. Entertaining us in youtube was last job of this old van before going to metal recycling facility. Scrap yards are already full of 90'es cars which are in far better condition than this one and they are not buying them in any more.

That’s a ford for you very prone to rust unfortunately. It’s a good idea not to have one if you live by the sea the salut air doesn’t work well for them
Haven’t seen an early Mk2 Transit in absolutely bloody ages. I remember years ago there was a blue and white 4x4 Transit a few houses up from me, that was an F reg (1989ish?) and was looking pretty tired by that point already and this was the early 2000’s. The later ‘Smiley Face’ Mk2 facelifts were still somewhat common and could be seen up until late 2000’s or early 2010’s. Mostly all been run into the ground as workhorse vehicles and now scrapped. 😕 To see an early version and a Pinto petrol engine version especially is very strange to me as a Brit, I can only ever remember diesel powered ones. That old Pinto sounded pretty tired, brought back memories of clapped out Sierras and Mk3 Granadas. 😆
I drove plenty of face-lifted mk1's with pintos back in the '80s. But yes, by the time of this iteration petrol vans in the UK were less and less popular. My late dad had a 2000E with this engine, God he loved that car. Happy memories.
Yeah, even the smileys are a rare sight now, still see the odd one but mainly custom/camper vans
It's a MK3 with 6 bolt heavy duty rear axle for the European market.
@@aaronblueandme8127 it’s a transit 100 or 120 depending on axel weight If it had twin rear wheels it’d be a 160 or 190 the 3500kg max for use without tacho which meant day and night driving legal

Love it when old sunken tires pop out of the ground 😍😄
Our mate's farm has an old W reg transit from 1980 they paid £15 for it from a carpet factory in kidderminster back in 1992 its never once let them down its carried calves, sheep horses hay bale's, equipment and every part is held on by bailing twine, the mad thing is it outlived the factory that once owned it 😂
Another great video from Flexiny. Transit starts and runs despite looking worse than VW II. I had a couple of these, -98, 2.5 TD with Lucas dieselpump as a daily driver and -97 2.5D with Bosch pump as donor car. Good vans except rust, have done about 90 000 km with it. Notice also not quite usual 6-bolt pattern but ordinary rear wheels mounting, mine ones had 5-bolts pattern (were short wheelbase both).
Really impressive that each time, he manages to restart cars like this transit in a state closer to the scrapyard than to a rolling car, you are incredible well done from France 🇨🇵
Always seems weird to see a transit but not hear that usual 2.5L diesel engine sound, just got so used to hearing the diesels clattering about here in the UK that the petrol models seem "unusual" to my ears... :P
No bananas here😂
You can hear a 2.5di from a 100yards. 😂

Ay seen an old Transit for ages the oldest one I have seen is like a 2006 Plate. Maybe the Ice Cream Van that parks up by the school by my house Is a 90s Transit I think. I used to see a late 80's early 90's Transit in Blue and a rusty white one from time to time a few years ago ay seen it in a while
Хорошо потрепала жизнь этот Транзит, но он всё же поехал. Техника на века!👍🏻
Finally it came to life! Thank you so much! Because we don't want that classic Transit to get scrapped, if it was, then that's a sad end😢
Petrol Transit 😮 not many in the UK with this engine, most this shape had 2.5 Di. Good to see the old pinto live again, and another uncommon thing was the Weber twin choke carb, rarely seen on a Transit!! Thought the rear axle was going to come out of the van before the ground gave back the van!! 🤣👍👍
Flexiny is working in Estonia
The paint is what keeps it standing, incredible the amount of rust it has
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊hi
Idzie jak przecinak.. po tym 14-letnim postoju.. Świetny odcinek flexiny..!!! 😆😆
I love how the engine slowly wakes up, after a long slumber. Little by little and step by step and finally is back on its feet for another ride...
А фордик ще досить шустро ганяє))) респект, що поставили на колеса таку легенду доріг!

There is nothing Flexiny can't get running again! 👍👍 If its been sitting 80 years.....no problem! 😊
Irons and steel with no problematic sensors. That's the reason why I love old cars.

Really really impressive but in view of its advanced state of disrepair, this good old Transit will probably only be able to serve as a spare parts bank 🤩👍
They also make good sheds 👍

Nice van for the farm.. 2.0 pinto, twin Weber dcoe 35s. bit of welding and a service and it will go like a rocket.
This takes me back to my childhood. A friend of mine had one of these but the long version.
That’s a rough old piece, you’ve brought back from the dead! 👍
No sabía que hubiera ford transit con motor de gasolina. Buen video,como siempre.
Ni yo tampoco
En esta Generacion tanto en la siguiente hubieron 2 motores 2.5D y el 2.0 Gasolina que es el mismo que el Ford Sierra de esos años. Por lo que me comentaron el 2.0 Gasolina tiene mas velocidad cuesta arriba que los 2.5 Diesel...
Odpowiedni człowiek w odpowiednim miejscu brawo 💙👍
That poor van being left in the field like that, it break my heart seeing this old thing going to waste, Even cold start brought a tear to my eyes.
Hello,I want to thank you for your videos . Keep going.
me quito el sombrero con ud ,que bien ,como echas a andar todos esos carros que llevan una decada tirados a merced del clima ,siempre fascinado de como lo haces y sin nada de piezas nuevas. lo que diera por tener tus conocimientos. mis respetos para ti,es el mejor canal de youtbee que me he encontrado.
Jobbar på det är det inte finns några som är på väg till dig jag är inte bara för det var inte meningen jag är så himla kul 🤩 det här det går att använda sig mer än att p-piller för det var en av dem är du på
A petrol transit, that's strange as they were mainly diesel. Especially in the UK!
Just what I was thinking. I've only known these as diesels. I can remember the sound of those noisy Ford diesels.
This noisy sounds were beautiful
Loads of these were petrol as well. Very popular here in Italy as a GPL duel fuel as campers.
They were very popular in Bulgaria 10-15 years ago because you can put an LPG system.
Only know about diesel transit vans, Learnt something new today.
When I was a kid in the 80s, my dad one time took me with him to the construction site in this model. During the trip, I had the first spam in my life. Directly with a fork from the can ;-)
I'm hooked on your videos. Always look forward to the next one !😊
Always cracks me up when you see people from the U.S. complaining about rust...now THAT is rust.

the starter sounds as if it wants to say that it does not want to wake the engine to life ;)
Engine ,ford from 90s was very strong.
I had the same engine in a 1980 2.0 Ford Cortina - it didnt quite sound like that though. I think that was one knackered Pinto engine, firing on 3 cylinders, exhaust totally shot, bouncing up and down under the van - sounded like the engine was about to blow up at the end. At least the suspension didnt collapse like on that old Ford Courier van you did several years back, and that was newer as well. Tranny vans do like to rust though, and to see one more than 15 years old in the UK is rare, as most have rusted away by then and would not pass another MOT. Nice to see an old Pinto engine and Weber carb though, brought back memories of my old Cortina, that I owned 33 years ago.
Imagine how many older cars could still be on the road today in the UK if MOT wasn’t a thing and road salt wasn’t used. I also worry about a lot of the gray market imports from North America and Eastern Asia and the parts availability for those cars as they age in the UK. Most cars here that are driven in the winter are usually killed off by rust as well. I remember hearing about how someone’s body on frame Tahoe split in half because of how bad the rust was. It’s a double edged sword I guess. On one hand, you give people with lower levels of income a means of transportation but on the hand you get more vehicles that have extensive corrosion issues; although the latter usually takes a while to develop.
@@whatamisupposedtoputhere MOT is a thing in many countries, its basically to help ensure that deathtraps that could fall apart at 60MPH and kill people due to severely corroded bodywork and chassis etc that lets go at speed. Imagine if that old Transit was allowed to drive on a highway in that condition, and it had a major structural failure leading to suspension or steering failure at speed, well, I know MOT is a nuiscance that can write a vehicle off and deem it beyond economic repair, but do we really want dangerous, defective vehicles driving round, that could potentially cause death and injury to other motorists? I drive safer in the UK knowing that the vast majority of cars behind or in front of me are not about to shear in half or suffer major mehcanical failure in the brakes, suspension etc, or are driving round on tyres that are so bald they could blow out at any moment - We all hate the time our cars have to have their yearly inspection, and the costs it could incur, but if it was a country or state that didnt have inspections, would you want to be hit in the rear by a van like the one in this video? Gotta be safe rather than sorry, even if this means a vehicle is sent to the scrap yard before its 15th birthday. I'm all for cars of 30+ years old driving round, but only if they are roadworthy and safe to drive. Funnily enough, in the UK, cars over 40 years old are considered historic vehicles and as such do not have to have MOT tests, but even then, the police could still order them off the road if they find them not safe to be on the roads.
@@whatamisupposedtoputhere safety inspections are a good thing. In the states a lot of places don't have them and people will happily put their life at risk if it means not spending a dime on maintenance. High standards ultimately make the world a better place.
@@stevejones1972 Yeah the safer the better. I’d much rather be at peace knowing most cars around me won’t break apart at any moment. Yeah this van is pretty much destined for the scrapyard. Most of the time at the end of the video they have a still shot of the car running but this thing was so bad that it could barely even stay running which is something I haven’t seen with any other car on this channel. This is one of the few times I’ve actually watched a video like this and wished that it would die to put itself out of its misery. Sorry if my last comment seemed so tone deaf and ignorant, I was incredibly tired and drunk writing that.
@@stevejones1972 its all down to the idiots putting wrong things in wrong places. its obviously dumb as fuck to drive a rusty ass deathtrap at 60mph on the motorway or main roads. but why is it a problem if someone drives a rusty ass half dead car at 30mph at tops through very empty backroads for like 10 miles to another village? unfortunately people didn't have common sense, like always, hence rules needed to be enforced, just like with speeding, and everything else, it being down to milking our tits off the most money possible is another story though... this particular Transit however, yeah it's only good for pretty much dirt road, off road and farm use until it breaks in half and then to scrap it away.
Love the driver POV shot!

wow good job you fix tis old van 1988 oh Test Drive 😁👏👍
What do you do with these cars afterwards?
Great question! I wondered that, too. Some I think he possibly sells (like the Vectra which came up nice recently) but this old van - 🤔 - too far gone I’d have thought. Not even for spares.
@@iixorb it probably could be used for spare parts but in terms of the body nothing is salvageable because of the rust. I’m sure the rims, trim pieces, and interior bits could probably still be usable.
Some may be parted out for spares, while things like this Transit are most likely given one last hurrah before they go to the scrapyard.
I guess it's case by case. I saw one of Flexiny's cars recently listed in Estonian local sales portal with a price not much higher than scrap metal price. About especially this generation Ford Transits, those what are still in the move are usually not missing mechanical parts like engines or gearboxes, but are suffering of rust in frame and body. And those rarities who are still in mint condition, they don't want to utilize anything from this old beaten up one. Entertaining us in youtube was last job of this old van before going to metal recycling facility. Scrap yards are already full of 90'es cars which are in far better condition than this one and they are not buying them in any more.
Поработали эти машины на совесть😊
If you gave it time and money, you could bring that Ford Transit back to life 😅🔨🔧👍🏼.
it has a very solid body and engine, congratulations to ford engineers
It's like a typical vehicle they use in Ghana 😅. Seriously well done. Great satisfaction starting that van...👍

That poor engine and truck were driven one last time, with style. Awesome end for that van, I'd say
Hi, great video as always, but I wonder what can be done with such a car? Is it already in the scrap, or are you going to boil it and put it in a pile?😅
Had one of them snapped a cambelt put a new one on and started first time and drove off bulletproof.
Omg this van is very wrecked 😨😨,but is survived at accident and at time of sitting.Wow👏👏👏
