If you are changing the wheels I would go for some wheels from the 90's ie tsw imolas,evos. or if you could get them to fit, some escort cossie monte rims would look well

how do jonny?

i bought it from the lad who lee sold it to when i lived down in manchester.

it is a 60s bmw colour, Fengel B Green not that hard to match, local paint shop has it.


i should update this thread haha.


engine is out of the van for now, rebuliding it slowly, im in no rush.

the old engine made 270atw @ 18psi, which was mental, new engine well id like a little bit more and maybe crack the 300s atw, but 270 it was fast enough for me.

old engine spec....

2.0zvh
focus rs pistons and rods
mfi hatch head with standard valves ported by Sitech
newman cam Sitech profile
Sitech inlet cossie tb
KKK26 turbo
38mm external waste gate
gotech
440cc injectors
billit stainless steel flywheel
helix clutch


new engine will just have h section rods, think ill still run the frs pistons but not totaly sure yet.

I am very much looking forward to getting my parking space back - once he finally pulls his finger out and get the engine back in.

The reason I found the thread was I was Googling the paint colour - trying to find the correct spelling!! Took me fucking hours

I'm 96% confident it's 'Fungelb Yellow', although, some spell it 'Fun-gelb Yellow'

i wasnt sure on the colour when i was searching for it, i spoke to lee from fusion, who had it painted and he said it was fengelb green. so i took a bonnet vent to the local paint shop and the matched it in there book to fengelb green.

after having the van on the rollers i found out that the injectors where totaly maxed out at 98%

so i fitted some RC1000s (abit overkill on the size but i picked them up for cheap money) and put it back on and it made.......



not sure on the bc gearbox, i can feel an MTX calling

Well done for resisting folks telling you to change the wheels, I think they look spot on! Something a bit different, like the paint lol.
