<b>Okay Peeps, as some of you may already know i have bought a Transit Van for Cruisewirral :go: :go:

i like the graphix on transit #1 they look well smart but you have to put some alloys on it az well lol

Or thinking of these alloy wheels for it ?? 16"

• Transit number 5

yeah they look well smart scooby mate

1st one wit alloys

make the sponsers in red and white CHROME

It would have to be number 2 matey, looks great...

I go with number 2 with the alloy's, its the checkered flag look, that goes with cars and cruising I think...

Or the Cruisewirral Logo like this Maybe ????

• Transit number 6
  
  

definetly no 5 mate

number 5 deffo matey <img border="0" alt="[cwcool]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions049.gif" />

no5 or 6
definately like the graphite look at the min

number 5 without a doubt

and uv gotta get those alloys on there from transit 5 will look awesome

i think that number 5 looks the best, would go for 17inch wheels though as you can get tyres £50 a corner whereas i've heard 16inch tyres are expensive....or am i wrong

hell yer them rim look sweet an defo them grafix

me and kay recon number 1 wid da alloys of number 2

number 5 or 6 definitely, which ever one you choose just make sure it looks tons better than the sunbed place's one because that looks well good and needs to be nocked off top spot

Transit No. 4 i would go for

a mixture i think ! number one but not the green ! have the silver colour flag thing ! don't have the vinyls on the bottom like mom and that but keep the big fast carz bit in the middle ! have the alloys off the transit 5 and u have the perfect transit ! i tried makinbg it but don't have photoshop and it was taking years in paint so i thought i wud describe instead !

and maybe cruiseiwrral or just a big CW on the bonnet too ! wyd look well smart !

Or Transit No. 7 ?



Not exactly right but the idea is there,

only you!!!!!

thats the one webmaster No. 7 thats sweet

i have changed my mind

its deffo number 7 its got to be

im in 2 minds now either 5 of 7 but im really likin 7 if splat graphics can do it

yup it defo haz 2 be number 7 now it looks well good

<img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" />

The tryes really dont bother me matey......

I can only get 16" as the Transit Fitment is Very Very Strange and rare. Would have dumped it on 20's if i could have found some <img border="0" alt="[are u mad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />

its got to be a mixture of these two, they both look great and i just cant decide.

number 7 looks the best now but the fastcarz.co.uk bit looks out of place, or is it just me??

Allowing for the ridges in the van body work

WAT ABOUT THIS?

hav fastcarz uk below the cruisewirral logo otherwise ppl will think its a fastcarz van.

other than that, 7

just a bit of fun lol

VAN 8

so come on then which one we having then the suspence is killin me
<img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" />

Shortlist :

• Transit number 2 :
  
  
• Transit Number 5 :
  
  
• Transit number 8 :
  
  
  (Without flashing Grafix)

Cast your final votes and opinions........

number 8 with the 16in allows for sure!

The 16" alloys as the middle pic has is deffo on any design......

lovin it definetly 8 then cos cw stands out cos its in one line an fast carz is there for everyone to see where as on the others its stuck a the bottom where no1 will really luk

plus 8 has some top graphics that will just make ppl look an stare as we role up an think dam!!!!

deffo number 8

no 8's nice but i just think the fastcarz.co.uk bit looks out of place. maybe if it was under the cruisewirral.com logo? also i've been thinking, will the black flag stand out much with it being black on a blue background?

NUMBER

number 8 but maybe the fastcarz a lil smaller. i'm sure splatgraphix will sort it out so it looks bob on!

8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
well i think i like number 8 lmao

2 2 be different. 8 is cool but it aint number 2. wel 5 is cool also and i like the number but it aint 2. i hope i have bin sum help.

P.S trannys rule.(the vans do anyway)

its gotta be number 8 scooby it looks well smart!

number 5

Wow, What a talking point, Thanks to everyone whom put there pennies worth in...........

The final Choice has been made based upon YOUR comments and suggestions.



Do you think its the right choice ????

:go: :go:

thats the one matey go on and lets get it signed up quick cause there isn't long left

Go for that one scooby but change the alloys matey

Carnt change the alloys matey, there is only that set of alloy's available for a transit...............

(Odd Size and Fitment)

ok just a thought

awesome cant wait to see it when its finished

looks spot on

that van will look well nice, cant wait to see it, will it be at your garage scooby, went through new ferry for the first time in ages the other day and there it was "your subaru", which by the way is the mutts nuts.

<b>The tranny will be Croozin the wirral and Nationwide when we attend Shows and Cruise's matey :go: :go:

Lookin great Scooby!
Can't wait to see it when it's done!!!
:go:

its going to look well smart scooby good choice! <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />
i will look forward to seeing it when its finished

As most of you know the grafix have been done on the Cruisewirral Transit, Looking great thanks to Splatgrafix (One of our Sponsors)






However some muppet of a company i deal with has let me down on the alloy wheels. They did send them out but the fitment was incorrect.......

Now i am back to square one, Doooohhhh... <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />

I am currently designing an adapter plate to fit onto the Transit hub allowing me to directly bolt on Vauxhall Fitment alloy wheels <img border="0" alt="[are u mad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />

I am Looking at either 17" or 18" Alloys.

I have enclosed some images of the alloys that are available that will fit onto the new adapter plate once i have had them made.

Need your advice peeps, What alloys to go for....

• Hybrid 17's
  
  
• Mantis 17 or 18's
  
  
• Matrix 17's
  
  
• ProRace 17's
  
  

• Urban Racer 17's
  
  
• Voodoo 17's
  
  
• Daytona 17 or 18's
  
  
• Flair 17's
  
  
• EV-S 17 or 18's
  
  
• Ravia 17 or 18's
  
  
• T12 17 or 18's
  
  
• Evo 5 17 or 18's
  
  

Matrix or Pro Race

The Mantis' only look decent on big, lowered cars which have big painted calipers and brakes in my oppinion. saw a set on a Corsa the other day and thought it just looked wrong, no offence, but think they would look just as bad on a Transit


Matrix for the Chrome finish

or Pro Race for the chunky lovers <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" />

them hybrid's look sweet, what finish are they? polished alloy?

Personally i like the Evo 5......

what about spinners!?

I'm sold on the EV-S rims, reckon they'd suit the van best out of all of them and look top class!



18s, of course

go for the mille miglia EV-S rims, nice looking and good quality too

As big as you can get them either the EV-S rim or Evo 5`s will attempt a photoshop when i have the time.

OR

BOTH ARE AWSOME WHY DONT U DO WAT MAX POWER DID AND HAVE 1 SET OF ALLOYS 1 SIDE AND THE OTHER 2 THE OTHER SIDE
NOT KEEN ON IT BUT IT WOULD B DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!

Will all of these alloys hold the weight of the tranny

whatever u get Scooby get 18's lad they will look smokin!!

I THINK THESE WOULD LOOK SWEET ON THE TRANSIT

im with ya with the 5 spoke idea but iv gotaa say i think the EV-S rims wud b the ones my money wud b goin on

All of the Alloys are standard car alloy's which isnt a problem as long as i dont overload the damb thing.......

3 word one looks better on the pics as I reckon the white sponser text crowds it, though that prob wont look so bad on the actualy thing, so 3 or 1.

Was thinking about putting these 18's on the van



What does everyone think ?????

Sorry mate, I'm 100% sold on the EV-S rims, none of the others even come close.

With the kindest respect,

scooby you need to visit the photoshop topic,
the van looks like its on a hoverboard
that M.J.Fox used in Back to the future lol...

10 / 10 for effort lol...


Difficult to actually see the detail on your post scooby, any closer pics,
like jimbos pic for example?

As they both look sweet...

Yeah scooby, get us a pic of the van from a nice side angle in daylight and a pic of the rims u want and ill put em together for u, should look good mate

<strong> <b>Was thinking about putting these 18's on the van

It be number 6 for me.

I like the ones Jimbo likes! That would look really good!
But only do it if you are very sure and it's because YOU want to do it. Wheels are expensive!!

Vicky x

My attempt at putting the wheels on, i do like these ones actually.

im luvin the cw taxi more lol

Just a quick update on the Cruisewirral Van :

• DVD Headunit fitted

• 7" TFT Screen fitted into the dash

Mod's coming real soon :

• 800w Amp

• 2 X 10" subs in Nice Sub Box

• New 6x9 Speakers in built in custom enclosure

• Projector build into custom enclosure

• 4 foot X 4 foot Projector Screen

• Playstation with wireless controllers

• 2 X Inflatable couches

• 18 or 19" Alloys

• Possibly an Engine conversion

I would love to have this done in time for the Nationals but my poorly impreza is taking all my spare time right now....

I Need an engineering company to make me some wheel adapters for the new wheels Click here to view the topic...........

you are one crazy mofo

would it be possible to change the hubs to other ford ones which have more wheels available to their size?

Crazy stuff for the CW van. It'd be class to have the big screen in the back and blow-up chairs to have somethin like a halo night at the nationals lol

Okay peeps, its summer time once again so time to start Modifying the vehicles, well, the Cruisewirral Van anyways

Its looking a little tired nowadays so i am looking to give it a new lease of life.

In the pipeline is

• 3.0 V6 engine transplant

• 16" Alloy Wheels

• Some Fresh Paint

• Maybe a Bodykit

• Dropped 3 - 4 inches

As it looks now :



BUT Look

Its hopefully going to look like this :



Complete with this sitting under the bonnet :



I have just bought a Donor vehicle with the 2993 EFi engine ready to be transplanted

What everyone think and im am looking for more suggestions as to what i can do to the Van

Isnt that the same engine as in the XR4. Come to think of it,didnt u have a bust-ass XR4 the other month,and then tupac broke it for spares or somethin.That cudda been a cheap engine for ya.

Recomendations from me mate

Fit the V6 and get a nice exhaust on it (maybe a rear exiter?)
Rally paintsceme and graphics,or respray PROPER CW blue and yellow with a cool as hell graphics design on it
Get a custom bodykit not OTT but just nice shaped.
Sort the back part of interior out (if its possible cos u wont wanna put tools etc in the back once uve given it shagpile)

I found these for the trany
http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/ford_transit_lighting.html

I would only fit the engine if its cheap and has more torque than the old one cause from the sound of the problem thats what your after. Maybe a second hand body kit made to fit eg choped and streched ( pete did my skitrt like this and did a great job). Deffinatley the rims though they will make the big difference.

It has allot more BHP & Torque (Almost double) than the diesel unit.

I will have some nice pipes on it also, sounding sweet (Obviously)

I have seen the lights on e-bay and you can get the angel eyes headlamps also but i dont want to spend big money oin a old van. Just want the freshen her up a bit.....

I know what you mean, thats a gud sign of old age lol. I would just do the engine if you feel you will benefit from it and for looks get the bumpers colour coded and alloy maybe tints aswell.

Got a idea for a colour,If ur goin for a re-spray u may as well pick a colour that looks good and hides dirt well,and u cant do much better than fords very own


Imperial blue! dark blue cars hide dirt very well,and as its a transvestite u know it aint gonna get washed often

MAD.

If you look at last months fast ford (maybe months before ) there was a transit smaller wheels base one with a cossie engine init and 6 bucket seats and it looked sweet so get the van thing going because its not what you see all the time and would make a nice change.

Back when i used to race hotrods (banger raceing to everybody else) the one of the lads did the 2.9 conversion in his transit and it went like stink wheel span alot thought.

GOODLUCK MATEY

was it white tupac,with quads,and carbon vents on front??? and a cossie splitter?

WE WANT RESULTS!!!

Just done a quick photoshop of my own :

Stick a Cossie in it, one done the gunball a few years back.

Pictures a Bit small but, you get the idea.

Yeah, i thought about putting a cazzie lump into it but there big money and the van is getting on in life now (Bit like its owner)

The V6 will sound nice with some sweet pipes fitted though, a bit different for a tranny....

The on the tranny on thos pictures IS a good idea. looks sweet.

OH and

Your never to OLD. and you only live once. "DO IT"

i have the 4 speed gearbox (with overdrive) but prefer to use my current box if i could ?

Also, what starter motor fits the damb thing ?

try xroc as they will be able to help.

cossie engine with wiring 1200 on passionford or back of performance ford can't remember which one tho

Erm, not good to be honest. I am struggling for the time to do it and trying to source parts is a nightmare i tell you.

Maybe putting the project on the back burner for a while

holy crap there well good, only problem is if you look how old this topic is (2006) this van was sold a while ago.

hi
thanks!
i noticed how old the thread was.
i just wandered if it had ever got finished

Oh, no, very long story to it all but the short version is scooby never had the time or the space so it was sold.

How the hell did you get that front bumper to fit on the red transit ??

believe it or not thats an agressor front spoiler off a mk5 escort
it wasnt that bad a fit i had to extend it a little and trim it up
but other than that it wasnt to bad

im also looking for one similar for the batmobile

do you work with fibreglass as a job or a hobby ??

Some bloody good work on them cars, is the custom paintwork your own handy work aswell ?

hi
that was the first time i have done anything with fibreglass m8
ill have a go at anything
like this watch you dont p@ss yourself



im just trying to mod the batmobile at the min to take some 17" tsw venoms

the batvans sweet

Haha quality them matey, especially the batvan
