Minibus Restoration
New & Used Minibus Sourcing, Lyneham, Wiltshire
The story behind our purchase In June 1985 Tom our MD bought our old site, so when I spotted this 1985 Ford Transit 15 seater minibus for sale on Ebay we just had to buy it. It is very nearly our company colours already! The Time Line 11/06/2010 We purchased C762 DHX via an Ebay auction. 
It just needs a bit of TLC, it should be as good as new in a couple of weeks!
7/06/2010 Our workshop team begin an initial assessment, in general for it’s age it is pretty sound. It was great to have a good look around underneath.
18/06/2010 Because our workshops and body shop are so busy preparing vehicles for sale the decision is made to have the her restored by a local company who specialise in such things.
21/06/2010 After an initial assesment work begins, the hardest job is going to be finding replacement panels.
29/08/2010 Over the weeks and months work continues. You can not rush perfection.
29/09/2010 The skill involved in rebuilding her is amazing.
15/10/2010 Cannot find a bonnet or front wings anywhere!
22/10/2010 Some primer.
27/01/2011 Found a fantastic website, the company is based in Germany, ordered a bonnet and front wings fantastic.
18/02/2011 The body panels have arrived from Germany, now we can finally get her finished.
04/04/2011 She`s back from the Body Restorers and looking great. Ordered bumpers and a load of trims from Germany. Plus some Euroliners to add a little bit of bling!
06/04/2011 Now for some mechanical work.
08/04/2011 A full service, change of the cambelt and some other bits and bobs. Nearly ready for an MOT. Just waiting for bumper bits and trims to arrive from Germany.
24/05/2011 the bits have arrived and we are on the home straight now.
13/06/2011 Looking Good.
