Little bit of transformation for this van this week.

Swipe through the pictures to see the whole process.

It come to us with a seriously corroded floor from where cleaning chemicals had been absorbed into the plywood floor. Upon removal it was perfectly apparent just how bad the floor had corroded.

The floor was sanded and any rust areas treated with rust converter. Any bare metal areas were etch primed and they we applied 4 gallons of Speedliner Europe LTD protective polymer coating. Ensuing any cleaning chemicals can be easily mopped up.

Finally we cut and fitted grey plastic sides, these are non porous and will not soak any spilt chemicals up.

This has given this customer’s van a new lease of life.

Another install completed for Ionic Systems. This brand new Renault Trafic was treated to Speedliner Europe LTD protective spray on coating and had the V4 Thermopure installed complete with electric hose reel.

The machine produces pure water via the on board filtration. Then utilising one of the twin pumps mounted to the machine will pump the purified water out of the crash tested holding tank, and up to the operatives water fed pole. This eliminates the need for using ladders and cleaning using the traditional bucket and squeegee.

This Thermopure unit, also heats the water to make cutting through the most stubborn of stains easier. It runs of the vehicles diesel supply and has an auxiliary battery to power everything. The split charge system charges the auxiliary battery charges whilst the engine is running, and also whilst filling via a 240v mains charger.

We are the only authorised installation and service centre in the South East for Ionic Systems and carry most spares and filters in stock.

Brand new Ford Ranger MSRT we had in recently for a set of deployable side steps.

These automatically deploy and stow upon the doors opening and closing.

These are a nice optional extra from MRST. We installed these on behalf of the local Ford dealership.

Another one completed this week. This Transit Custom was treated a full phenolic resin coated birch plywood racking system.

This was fully bespoke to the customers specifications with 200kg draw runners on the side door.

The 2 false floor sections provide storage space for the customers ladders and hop ups. The racking system is designed for grey Euro style boxes.

We also supplied and fitted a colour coded side load door latch shield and load area deadlocks.

This van is ready for work.

We are hoping to see this when the customer has it all loaded and organised.

Stunning, 2 owner from new and completely standard Es**rt Cosworth in today. Unfortunately the original audio system had completely failed and been damaged beyond repair.

We sympathetically installed a Pioneer SXT-C10PS, ensuring not one of the original plugs or connectors were cut. Meaning if the owner ever decides (or can find) original working units they can be retro fitted.

The retro styling of the Pioneer really fits the cossie, dash. The modern features of the unit feature Bluetooth handsfree calling and music streaming. The app is also an excellent addition making advanced features such as the crossovers and time delay very easy to setup.

Thanks to for supplying the unit and .automotive for the recommendation for us to work on this lovely example of a Cosworth.

We had a 2018 Transit Connect in for a little upgrade. We supplied and fitted a Kenwood DMX7722DABS wireless CarPlay / Android Auto headunit.

This unit sat in the dash nicely with the facia adapter. And retained the factory steering wheel controls and parking sensors.

We do love an old Ford, there’s times when we think Ford were in their prime in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. When vehicles were simpler and had their own individuality.

Quite a rare sight when new a Smiley Transit “Flareside”. This was brought in with issues to the rear lights. We quickly traced poorly fitted towbar electrics and a corroded plug with some broken wire tails.

Everything was repaired and a happy customer.
