Hi, This is my Transit connect RS project.

The van originally started life as a 1.8 petrol T200, that was soon to change though.

I've got plenty of pictures so I'll let those do the talking

The decision was to give the van a full respray in the engine bay, underneath, inside and outside.
Also it was decided that the van needed a little more poke, for the time being a 2.0 16v zetec engine would do from a focus doner car with a couple of breathing mods.

It was better to get the dash out and get everything wired up, using a mixture of the connect and focus loom so the Traction control, electric windows etc worked.

Managed to get it running so attention was moved to the underside

Rear Axle removed for modification and to allow the underneath to be painted
