As we’re sure you know already, we’ve teamed up with mechanical mastermind Edd China to breathe new life (and a whole lot of style) into a 1980’s Ford Transit ice cream van. Yep – we’re going to be whipping this old motor up into shape, taking this build from brain freeze to driving breeze.
Over the next couple of months, Edd and Spanners will be serving up the full makeover — from getting it road‑legal right through to adding a huge sprinkling of creative adaptations… and finally handing over the keys to one very happy new owner… me!
Join Spanners and Edd China as they start their rather unique project, transforming a charming 1984 Ford Transit Ice Cream van into the ultimate road-trip machine.
We have the van, and we have the plan, but does it even drive? Edd’s already pointed out a few issues but let’s join him on a test drive to really see how it runs.
Could we be regretting doing this already?
Turns out Edd’s got a bit of a job on his hands getting this van road legal but if anyone can do it, surely Edd can!
