Hello Passion ford, this is my second post here and I would like to add my Escort Van it is 1.8D 75.

I have read many post here and i hope to read many more about the projects you do
I am liking this project allot https://passionford.com/forum/restorations-rebuilds-and-projects/432455-building-a-multifunctional-mk7-escort-van.html and would like to add some of those ideas my self,

So I got my van 1 year ago for work (It is a working Van) it cost £350 and up till now it has had a new
Starter
Alternator
Battery
Rear tires are 165R13 Reinforced and standard 185/65/14 on the front, front wheels still spin when pulling off with a full load.
For the mot it was the usual welding seatbelt anchor points and rear leaf spring area.

Now for the Cosmetics wash and polish thats about it at the moment as i would like some input from other members to sexy up my van and a bit of spray paint (white)






I want to paint the bonnet, grill and roof rack covers aluminas yellow or orange what do you think? I tried GIMP but I could not get it to look nice.

The color of the paint is pearlesent so i thought orange or yellow would look nice

I am going to put checker plate on the back doors half way up for extra protection (It is a working Van).


My rear door handle snaped for the 5 time so I am going to fit this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220799492001?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1423.l2649

So what are your thoughts so far?
Please say if there is somthing I can change add ETC (was after some bullbars to stop people hitting my front bumper).

How can i change to color of my dash lights most of them do'nt light up!

Added an RDS 5000 radio for better sound.


Q. what speakers can i use to improve the sound further and does the loom allow me to add rear speakers?

I will add more
*Edit* Engine is a reconditioned and I have not lost oil as of yet and it is semi synthetic as well NO smoke from exhaust engine pick up is very fast.
