Love the way you show step by step and the problems you encountered, It's real life and most of us will hit problems like this so thankyou Martin for showing it in all its glory.
After some of the comments slagging off the van in the last video, i really want to see this van turned around and made to look awesome
That's the plan!
Yeah agreed Martin will make it shipshape
The wing mirror bolts are sheer bolts from the factory, you can access the locking wiring loom to gain access.
Every 2 minute job is just 1 broken bolt away from a 3 day adventure 😂 Unbelievable difference then new wing & bumper make Martin 👌🏻 Young Jimmy is very talented 👏🏻👏🏻
Great job Gary and Martin enjoy watching your repair videos watching from South Africa
Great video Martin & Gary. Your skills are endless. It's good to see a step by step guide to rectify the problems. 👌
Nice job Martin don't you just hate it having to deal with other people's bodge jobs well done 👍👍👍👍
what a pain ,great job martin and gary
Well done Martin & Garry that was a sod of a job
That sheared bolt is a standard Ford Shear Head bolt. They were tightened up until they broke off to prevent casual theft.
Nice one Martin glad you're back on the tools I'm here to learn 🤔👍🏻👌👏
thankyou Martin,great to see these regular restore videos,keep well,👌👍
Looks a lot better with the new wing's. Nice one good job lads
Thanks Ali.👍
As said snap bolts from factory , nothing like working on dirty/dusty cars/vans.well done guys another informative video for people 👍
Well done Martin, thanks for sharing the problems you had. That's real life.
Take care, Jeff
Well done Martin.
I removed the mirror shear bolts by drilling a small pilot hole then knocking in a torx bit then winding out with a ratchet. There quite soft metal , I then replaced with stainless steel flange bolts
Get the stainless ones out of there ASAP. The mild steel will rot around the stainless due to galvanic action.
Nice one Martin, what a difference that makes 👍👍
Great job you know your stuff Martin the van looks Brill you have got some skills
Top work. Cheers for the video take care
Wow excellent job on the wing☺️
Nice one Martin! You got there in the end!! 👍👍
Great job guys
THANK YOU MARTIN LOVE THE VAN VIDEOS
Glad you like them!
Great job 👍
Spot on buddy! Enjoyed that x
looking forward to that martin
I cut the plastic on mine then glassed and sealed them back up. Been fine ever since.
good blog martin Gary from Crewe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well done chaps
I don't know if you've got a jig to sharpen the drill bits you use for metal but that may have been a possible as well - also, because it's hidden, you can get some 1 or 2 inch cutting discs and cut a slot so you can use a flat head screwdriver and get the bolts out without having to drill them out. A video on why Gary chose to paint the plastics might not be a bad idea - there are a lot of methods that are basically going to make a bit of a difference (using oil, heating the plastics with a heat gun, using ceramic coating) but they don't last. What method did he use to prep the plastics and did he use a general primer? Keep going....good video...I thought you were going to heat a six in nail to make a long punch for the centre of the bolts and then buy a few longer drill bits new but hey, who knows what people will do to solve these problems....
That vans definitely X rated... 50 shades of grey.
Good work martin, ha ha I would have had a cutting disc on the grinder and chopped up that wing as its scrap anyway. Looking forward to the progress with the van
they put shear bolts in from the factory....really annoying but it was to stop people using the wiring loom there to get in the vans
Hi Martin Gavin here I came down to the ragged apron this morning enjoyed a lovely breakfast. I was hoping you would be in..I had a look round woodhall spa..gorgeous place. I called into Sainsbury's. I drove down the road and seen your place..was going to knock on your door for a coffee😂. I signed your book and got a sticker..anyway hope everyone's ok..I will be down again in sept.. another breakfast..
Nice one, we were working on the garden.
That looked like a real pain in the wotsits Martin.
Happened to mine when I needed to fit a new mirror. So smashed the plastic casing off. Cut a slit in the bolt with a cutting disc and used a flat head screwdriver to get the bolts out.
👍👍👍. Thank you
Martin I'm sure ford put the sheer bolts in bud from factory can't wait to see the videos on this van enjoyed the mk6 ones mate
Apparently, they added them in 2007 onwards
nice one
I had that same problem with mirror bolts snappes must be factory bolts
That screw holding the bumper on is standard, 'cos the bracket has bust free from the plastic. It's also mandatory that the screw up under is destroyed & wont open.
When removing/refitting the mirror bolts, stick some masking tape onto the end of the socket if they're alright - it holds them. Remember too, the wing coming off is scrap, so don't be afraid to use a grinder to chop it to bits. :-) Grinder is yer pal on that lower screw too - cut a slot in it & use a flat screwdriver.
I do these endlessly at work & they're a bit of a pain tbh. Lining up the back tab (which will be bent in transit - excuse the pun - can also be very dull.
Lovely job, you might have got a die grinder in there at them broken screws to take the nib off.
The hole was too small but we got over it.
What a pain in the arse mate 👎🏻. That corner of the van looking mint 👍🏻
Shear bolts are factory fitted Martin
Yes, i found out is was from 2007 onwards.
My transit is fighting me atm with two broken abs sensor bolts
Will you be using it as a van or doing a camper conversion
Its Jimmy's Van.
Why didnt you show getting the mirror off and refitting the new wing?
We didn't take the mirror off, that's why.
4:28, That's normal for mk7s, Ford used shear bolts so people wouldn't nick the mirrors. Reckon someone attempted to remove 2 originally and then gave up leaving the last one bolt. You were probably more careful than the last guy
I didn't know that on the Mk7's My Mk6 came out easy.
i honestly thought that packing was a smuggled package :)
very tidy work Martin well done bud
Think they had sheer bolts to stop from been stolen 🤷
Yes they were sheer bolts fitted from 07 reg.
😀😀😀😀
The bolts in the mirror are from the factory they were all like that
Not on my Mk6, I presume the Mk7 is different then.
@@retrorestore yep, I believe it was to protect the door wiring loom from being very accessible a security upgrade from the mk6 plus people pinched the mirrors
Get the grinder out
Use a set of mole grips on the screw under the arch or tap it with screwdriver and hammer first to shock it 👍🏻
Yeah, I did shock it.
Great name Ivor 👍
Centre punch then 3mm drill bit some oil and then start drilling. With that 6 mm you won't drill anything
I did start with a smaller drill, I just didn't show it in the video.
poor colour match to say youve access to a colour matcher
Hi mate has the mk7 got a cam chain, or the new wet belt type, do you know .. Thanks in advance ...
I'm not sure, I would have to check.
