Default WIP- MK1 escort van

thought i would share another project of mine
i started this awhile ago & didnt take many stage pics but ill put up what i have
started from a base mk1,i used plasticard for the box bit
so i got the shape of how it would be & fixed it on


first filler stages




after more filler i put on some primer to find any bits that needed work on



while i was doing the body work i was also making modds to the engine

more filler was needed



after i was happy it,it was time to pick a colour,that took mw awhile as i like alot but i settled for olympic blue


then started to build it back up




i used thin stripes to show were the doors would be

modified the cossie engine for it with bigger t34 turbo,swedish inlet & removed the cambelt cover


i then wanted rs2000 stripes on it so i made some out of blue tape,colour was good but they shrunk with the heat lol so i took it all off




so back to this look for now




& its now rolling on minilites

but during the build i dropped it so i need to do abit of work on the roof which can be seen in the pics,so when i do this it may get repainted a different colour.
thanks for looking
