Default Mk5 Escort Van

ive just been brought a van for my firs vechicle, bit strange i no but hey, ive got a sound system in the back but not too sure if its staying at the moment.

I was wondering if any of you could give me a few pointers on mods, keeping it simple.

Im thinking:
recaro seats
exhaust
alloys
lowering
Insulate and soundproof (whats best stuff to use)

Im not into all this bodywork crap so i want to keep it simple,also moneys a bit of an issue, just thinking if you have any good site with images to get stuff off or just to get an idea.

Jake

use ya noggin mate! first thing that come into my head was he must of missed the (t) off

bloody keyboard warrior lol


as for the van mate i'd go down the mk5 rs 2000/ xr3i route i.e front bumper,bonnet,grill,sideskirts, and prob the wheels! lower it a tad,
would look good, and ideal as your on a budget.

ya can pick all these bits up for peanuts if ya patiant and keep an eye out on ebay and ya local admag

cheers

cheers pete, ive been looking at some pics on other forums n stuff n it all looks easy to do and stuff.

@ Aaroncast i left school a year ago and ive not long passed my drivin test and im a trainee painter and decorator so if i do jobs on the side for family friends then i dont want to get a car dirty n covered in paint n stuff, and then got ladders and stuff to go on top.

i think once ive lowered it some more with correct size tyres it will look alot better at the end of the day im only building the van because im bored and dont want to sink money into it just want something to bomb round in turbo beemer projects are where the money gets spent
