Can't wait to see it done. I love seeing a smart astra van and ford seemed to have missed out on a nice small van, not keen on the connect so fair play to you taking this on to take on the astra van. What are you expecting the final cost to be roughly?

Post 24. Fabricating it to look like that.

mark_h

ahh i get what ya mean , i prefer the other look to be fair, think it looks more factory

mark_h

RWD Cosworth powered.

mark_h

ive seen stefs one , very nice indeed. even if he did steal my idea lol ,

be good in a shoot together, very similar but very different at the same time

steve st220

Stefs a wizard when it comes to body work and fabrication, done every bit of
that van himself.

mark_h

Thats mint matey. It will be cool cossie powered.

mark_h

a few things that have been done more recently

we have fabricated some chassis extensions to accept the focus rs rear beam. We could have just put a block on top of the beam but I didn't feel this looked right seemed a bit of a bodge to me this is what we did.





getting some under seal on there

Looking forward to seeing this finished

Great thread

mark_h

a pic of the other side just to show how far along this side is ,

will soon be ready for paint ,


i just cant decide if to keep the roof rails or not ?

steve st220

They sit much better with the RS rear beam,
Stef has 1 fitted on his as well and he says it handles so much better.

mark_h

yeah we had this on the floor with the rs beam in it and it defo sat better . so simple to do aswell

MrCapriScort
