  • We were lucky enough to have a mk7 Transit Van for spare parts so we needed the drivers door. Let's remove the old one and fit one from the scrap Transit van.

    Jimmy is right 😂it's got to be all plugged in to work its canbus otherwise the BCU won't find it. Clever lad thumbs up to the both of you. Red transit prob had the injectors robbed of it worth the most cash.👍

    Not paint the door before you put it on the van?

  • @ShadowzGSD
    @ShadowzGSD 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    you should change all the doors and panels to different colours and make it a Harlequin van.

      It's sorted now.

  • @garrysmith1107
    @garrysmith1107 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I would have swapped the lock barrels from the doors. That way Jimmy's original keys would still work on the doner red door. Maybe you did but didnt film it?

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Jimmy's door had the lock removed.

  • @simonwrig
    @simonwrig 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So now if/when the battery dies on the van the key fob wont work then you have the fun job of having to open the bonnet and attaching jump leads to the terminal inside the engine bay with high hopes that they are actually linked up or not corroded too much to use. Or if the key fob completely stops working you've got to break into the van by taking the glass out. I would personally go through and change the door lock barrel to the same as the ignition and bonnet just so you don't have a chew on in the future. (Probably easier just buying new locks all around it and coding the key with a scanner)

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Jimmy's door didn't have a lock

    • @simonwrig
      @simonwrig 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@retrorestore under the protector plate was the lock not underneath the plate? Seems like a very bad design if you get locked out one day.

  • @charliecoco2115
    @charliecoco2115 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'd have whizzed the starter motor and alternator as spares, EGR and maybe even the injectors. Don't need a pop rivet gun, just use a large self tapping screw in it's place.
