I found a van on EBAY for the project and placed a bid and won it. The vans being picked up within the next 2 weeks, so will get proper pics up when she arrives. Obviously she will need some work done to make the body nice and tidy. The van's currently a 1.3 (IIRC) with a headgasket failure. Here's the pics from EBAY:





















I brought an RS Turbo off a mate of mine to use as the doner car. The RST has a nasty knocking on the front end from the shocks bottoming out on every bump, problems with the central locking and the battery light almost always stays on. This will be sorted once in the van tho Here's a few pics of how the RS looked:









Funnily enough a few years back I had a red RST which I sold my intercooler, wheels, ECU, bonnet raisers and a few other bits to the bloke that owned this black RS. So, Ive got them back now Here's a pic of my original RST:
