I'm 70, I know what's it's like to wake up sore in the morning. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it'll only get worse. However, waking up sore is much better than not waking up at all. Anyway, another enjoyable video. Thanks for taking the time to post. Always looking forward to your videos.
Well done Matt. When I spoke about spare, I was meaning that you’ll need to crawl under tray to get it once you drop it down. Please check before making life difficult mate. Greetings from Australia! Regards Mick
Thats a clean little Y reg truck you got there I got a 57 reg mk7 MWB tipper, nice to see some Transit related work on here I love the Transits also love the the look where you’re going with this looks good!
Nice job Matt, its looking good. I know how you feel after a day on a motocross bike and you haven't hit the track for a while , bloody crap and ache all over lol. Cheers
understood you recently blew up its engine , maibe you can use he back part of the frame put a heavy traileraxle(s) under it and add a towhitch , might be able to pull it behind the mercedes van probably be eazier to swap in a better engine though
@@Urchfab thanks mate, I figured that out! so they're just there to look good? Kinda like racing stripes on road cars? Fair enough. Love the vids, keep it up.
how do you get on with your mig as your welds are cool I have a rtech 250 mig and I just cant get the welds good always different are digital machines any better thinking of getting a esab 235ic what is your mig that you are using on this transporter project,cheers
Which mig/tig welders would you recommend? I don't know why but they all seem to look a bit cheap in the UK, we don't seem to have the same options as the States.
Looks good to me, the static load may be taken buy the chassis but the dynamic loads are taken by the bolts and ford have all Ready worked this one out for you , just check the light regs as changing the body you will need to comply to the latest regs light heights, side markers ,reflectors ect
+Tony Bennett I'm sure Ford have worked the loads out, although for the load spread out and not concentrated in 5 places on each chassis. My mates Transit was built similar and it couldn't be engineered. My one passed.
That’s plenty fast as far as I’m conserved, great job. 😀
mount some rear facing lights on the back of the cab, huge help if loading or unloading in the dark!

I like your intro. It’s catchy. Lol
Nice build bro
I think you can order a new (replacement) yellow plate to freshen it up and it'll make the finished product look that much better! Looks great

I've plans to build a tandem axle trailer to haul beetles and this really helps me.
Good luck with that one, all trailers have to be EU type approved now.
..being all trailers in the EU....I am located in Canada, regs are more lenient......
Boom. You make it look easy
Top job
Looking good cant wait see it finished
Nicely done 👍
Looking good man! Greetings from the US.
Just found your channel. Great quality work!
Nice project. 👍
So i take it you ain't got any three wheeler projects on the horizon. lol. Great work and vids by the way.
Nice job Matt, its looking good. I know how you feel after a day on a motocross bike and you haven't hit the track for a while , bloody crap and ache all over lol. Cheers
Im still struggling now!

@Shakeel Alex 🇦🇼🇦🇼🇦🇼😎👍
Great vids as always though
"I'm going to get as much done as i get done" my moto lol.

Looks good where are you planning on putting the ramps? Stock up on light lenses though
In the centre of the bed. Yeh I think im gonna. Cheers
I'd put a amber turn signal light in the angle hole on the side.
Interested definitely interested! Will you have to beef up rear suspension?
Its got heavy duty rear springs on it already. Chheers
So that whole ramp is removable?
"Speed holes" are indeed full race.
Your makeing sutch a good looking flatbed why not upgrade the rear lights ? small costs and just more modern look if you choose LED
Yeh, im gonna. Cheers
Bom dia qual o medida dos tubos que usso?
I feel like I shouldn't need this explained, but I'm not a racing enthusiast... What are the dimple die holes for?
Adding horsepower! no, they do nothing Bud.

Hi, are you using it on the sinergic modes? better to play around with manual setting I'd say. Im using an inverter fusion welder made by Helvi.
Which mig/tig welders would you recommend? I don't know why but they all seem to look a bit cheap in the UK, we don't seem to have the same options as the States.
Ive got some helvi welders at the moment. nicely built kit.
@Urchfab Matt, where in the country are you located? I need a trailer box built and wouldn’t mind sorting a deal with you to get it built??
Im not taking anything in at the moment mate, Got a mountain to finish. Sorry
Urchfab no worries mate... after watching welding videos I’d love to give it a go! I might just have to buy a MIG for the unit 😁😁
Yup, I've had smaller, simpler jobs than that distort from galvanising.
I don't think it will pass test the way it's mounted to chassis
Its mounted the same way as the factory body was.
+Urchfab what type of factory body had it? Most have a chassis that rests on the transit chassis
Looks good to me, the static load may be taken buy the chassis but the dynamic loads are taken by the bolts and ford have all Ready worked this one out for you , just check the light regs as changing the body you will need to comply to the latest regs light heights, side markers ,reflectors ect

leave the wheel you dont want the weight behind the axle
