Not a driver myself, but do love a transit. They remind me of Halcyon days watching ( Get yer trousers on, your nicked my son) The Sweeny loved it
. Will keep an eye on this.

I’d like to see what you do with this as I’ve had the urge to do one too, Reminds me of hellish journeys up the A9 (in the early 80’s) in the back of my grandads van sitting on tatty old sofa cushions and the smell of asphalt.
I read once that Transits were the preferred getaway vans for bank robbers because they could outrun police cars.

Love the idea of your project, no doubt your son will be very exited when finished. Have fun
Sounds like a good idea. I'm sure your son will love it. Hope you can source a 1/24 scale, black and white cat 
Thanks guys, this is we’re we are at, at the moment.
Andrew has helped with the cutting off of the parts and gluing them on. I will tidy up the painting later.

Looks like he did a splendid job, of to a great start. Cheers
Andrew’s now painting the van.
Great looking paint job, Andrew. Nice to see a Transit that isn't white.
Thats looking great Ian and Andrew. Hope you have got these two characters to go inside. Top job Ian.
Looks like you guys had a great time together 
well done Andrew!
well done Andrew!
Sorry it’s been a while, but Andrew has moved on a little with this one. At first I was going to build it for him, but he wanted to build it himself, so with my help , ( holding things for him to paint and glue ) this is how far he’s got.
and with him having cerebral palsy, he’s doing a great job.

Andrew should be proud of how this is going. Well done.
There is no doubt about that. Well done Andrew, enjoy your building. You have my fullest attention on this one.
Cheers Jim, Andrew is really enjoying himself.
Cool, nice model that.....
Great job Andrew
Andrew as done a little bit more work to this.
the bodywork hasn’t been glued on yet, still a little work on the inside to do.
