Default Escort mk6 van

I thought id post up my van project nothing overly special just something that has taken me a age to build up. The van is a w reg shell that was originally a 1.8d with no extras other than pas I then decided it was too slow and was too basic. I have bought the following:
96 Escort tdi engine, box, shafts, hubs , linkage and subframe which is fitted and the fuel and boost have been upped. no cat or egr System as standard
Universal front mount intercooler kit
Ford strut brace
Aftermarket lower strut brace will be modified to clear down pipe
300mm st170 discs and pads along with mk3 mondeo calipers and hoses
Weitec gtn coilovers
Modified rear axle with extra leaf spring each side to stiffen springs further will be getting uprated dampers next
Magnex cat back exhaust needs modding for rear of van
17" focus mp3 alloys with 205/40 tires
Escort mk5 rs2000 bonnet, bumper and headlights
Replica rs accessory side skirts for van
Cosworth style van bumper
Mk6 escort hatch electric mirrors
Electric windows, central locking
fully sound deadened front doors
Escort mk6 dash and trim all flocked black
Series 2 88 spec recaro seats
White dials
Fully under sealed

Couple of pics


Some pics from when i was fitting the engine on the 5.5.11



Only took around an hour to sort, engine crane is a god send, Few pics with the mk5 rs front end thats still not finished cutting the bumper out for the fmic



Still got alot of finishing to do and a paint job but ill get there at some point,I only got to work on it at weekends at i never had a driveway. But I have now moved to a place with a drive so its coming home on tuesday.
