It has given me nearly 10 years family & work service and over 105,000 miles so I think it should get what it deserves.
Here is a list of known faults that need doing,and howlong they've so far waited!

There is probably a few things i've missed,but you get the idea,stupid thing is,nothing above is terribly difficult or expensive to put right
The below is a list of worn out,dirty,or rusty things....
Headlining,years of smoking has turned it from grey to a Sport black colour.
MTec2 Steering wheel,stitching coming undone.
My heel has worn through the OEM fitted drivers floor mat.
Seats,front & rear grubby.
Carpet,well,just look in the bottom of your wheelie bin and it's about the same.
Alloys,no heavy curbing but need refurb.
MTec gear knob,worn out.
Gear stick gaitor,worn out.
I don't need to list rust, it wants a bit of welding,but it's mostly general corrsion and day today wear & tear.
Bumpers need tiding.
Mudflaps ( I like them) need refitting properly.
That'll do for now,here is some pics..........
The pair of pants that have been holding the headlight for all those years!
And finally,current mileage
First thing is a trip to see modifying maestro,Kingcruizer see what can be done with the body in terms of respray
Second thing is to build myself another garage,I'm fortunate to have the space and means to do this nice and cheap and have a dedicated restoration area
Finally I did this,been talking and wanting to do it for a long time,a dn now I have the Transit and the Missus has her Audi I can take the Touring off the road for as long as it takes.
