Default My mk4 escort van

This was my impulse buy mk4 escort van, been dry stored for more than 8 years in a factory and now it's mine. I'm still not 100% sure what I'm going to be doing with it yet, few mods as can be seen and it's a 1.8 diesel lump which starts on the button even after 8 years standing. Here's a couple of pics as it stands at the min

Thanks, few little jobs that need doing but nothing drastic. Not ever had 1 single plate welded on it before which I thought was fairly good for it's age.

If I was keeping it there would be a few changes but it's got to go. Even thinking about breaking it now as no one seems to want it as a whole.

Vans now sold to a new owner over Luton with his plans to totally restore it and turbo convert it, glad it's being kept as a whole and not broken down.
