thanks guys.
I have decided to go with the smaller of the two transits. I have called a few joiners this am and will only cost £250 to fully ply line the back and fit a cage on the back window. Also will have white vinyl over it.
Also, goin to sell my connect privately. will get alot more than £1650 for it. Checking autotrader, most are selling for 3000+ VAT for the same miliage.
cheers
tony
