    The reason there's loads of doors and parts on eBay are the Transits and Sprinters are one of the most stolen vans in the UK at the moment it's rife where I live. I suggest the new owner to get a AutoWatch Ghost 2 fitted to it A.S.A.P they are a really good bit of kit I have personally got one on my car and it's brilliant. Keep up the good work. 👍

      They are also very common so the theft numbers might be proportional.

      Around 3-4 months ago 2 Transits were stolen on a Friday night on the Saturday night they stole a Transit and a Sprinter all within 0.5 mile from where I live. Just look on YT on how bad van security on Transits especially is.

    As Chris said it's nice to see a sprinter on the channel they are good looking trucks. Impressed how easy the door change was, well worth getting the doors changed.
    The front bumper would finish it off. your hard work cleaning up will hopefully make a nice profit for you both.
