Nice project mate.

Im currently tarting an escort van up too. Changed the shitty dash for a better one and fitted some series 2 recaro's into it thanks to my mate coley.
Mite do a restorations post on it come to think of it....

Have similar plans to yours but think i'll go 16" on the wheels maximum. Will keep an eye on this build and hopefully get mine up soon

Speaking of slamming, how do you go about lowering the arse end of the van? Will have to get mine done eventually!

The lad who had the van before up'd the boost. It had a boost gauge on the dash and it would manage 0.6 bar lol.... before it would peak out and run like crap!
The standard diesel lump that was originally fitted was binned and replaced with a TD lump out of a car.
It don't hang about now, had it spinning in 3rd gear in the wet

I'll start a restorations page tommorow with a bit of luck!
