I've been given a Transit Luton chassis and cab and am planning to make a transporter out of it.

As usual the biggest decision is colour. It's Diamond White at the moment so a blank canvas.



Either using this template or photoshopping your own images have a bit of fun and if any of the ideas are affordable I'll have a go.

Here are some of my ideas so far.

Flames wold work!
Saw a yank truck once with a cracking flame job, the twist was the truck was white and the flames were different shades of green, but it really worked smile

That's quite a bit more work and would struggle to stay under 3.5 Tons. Nice though. The RS Focus colour Transit would be better in Orange. wink

Why not buy a VW? If only everything in life were as reliable as the ones in the scrap yards I visit.

I was thinking of the blue an yellow "Pilot" Escort or the Ford Motorsport tiger stripes but the Martini Focus is roughly the same period as the van.

What is the base vehicle OP? No offence but I feel sure we can find a more accurate line drawing.

Six stud hubs? So Japanese 4x4 wheels may fit I guess bit it would look daft on the twin axle. They look Weller-ish so cleaned and painted white would be okay.
