mk4 to mk3 escort van (rs1600i rep) new pics 15/12/07
right, here's my latest project. it's mine & the missus's run about. we brought it a couple of years ago off ebay, £200 with 10 months mot & 4 months tax. smoked it about for a couple of years but finally though it's time to tidy it up (& mk3 it whilst im at it)
this is what it lookes like when we got it
looked & drove hiddious. so changed the wheels & lowered the back. kinda looked slightly better (but not much
) this is how it stayed till now
had loads of garden slabs in on the top pic lol
now this is the mk3ing process
more pics to follow as i continue

been busy. here's some more pics
out side
rear panel was bent so off it came to be replace with a new one.
small repare
lip at the bottom of the rear cross member was a bit rotten so off that came
new lip made
& fitted
thought i'd do some painting at this point so doors & bonnet rubbed down
primed
& painted
thats the finish out of the gun. there's some crap in the paint but hopefully should compound out

You must live about 200 yards down the road from me!
i live just down the road oposite the alotments near the speed camera jobbie.
(theres a rusty white 90 spec RST in a million bits up the drive)
Top work mate, may come say hi sometime
