Woah....i saw the first pic and was gunna tell you to leave it as is, as i moved down the page youve already chopped it,

what plans do you have?

 

2.0l zetec in that would go well

 

well i need to get the van sitting right on them leaf springs.
As its in the air now after losing a few pounds not sure the best route yet
flipping the axle or de cambering??? and then finish fabricating the rear end.
Engine wise really aint sure but want some sensible power lol

 

ha ha no messing there

 

you dont hang around do you lol interested in this keep us updated with piccys

 

It was 1 of those things i either sold the van 4 a couple of hundred or do something different...made my week at work go quicker

 

ha great will look ace when done ! has anyone ever done a mk6 before??

 

I thought that was photoshopped until i saw the roof on the floor

 

good job was thinking about doing this myself, however i would have cut the roof off a little differently, i think that straight cut behind the door looks odd, maybe a 15-20 degree angle would look better? plus i'd lose the 'roof hump' and fabricate a new roof.
did it have a single rear door or two? if single you could cut it the same height as the roof and hinge it from the bottom and use the top half to weld behind the cabin? just some ideas i had of doing one myself

 

Yeah i did look at possible ways of cutting, but didnt wanna cut too much of the supports away inside the cabbin. had 2 doors on the back so gonna replace with a single sheet of metal to keep weight down.

 

i have a mk4 escort pickup, i used the back doors as the back of the cab and then removed the centre posts to make a single rear window.also used the bottom of two more doors welded toghter to make a one piece tailgate.got some pics some where if your interested.

 

Need some advice on a engine conversion...im looking at 2.0 l mondeo zetec si engine a friend has. Its a complete car just wondered wat parts i will need to change buy etc?? How difficult is the coversion and the dreded wiring which im not great with. Any advice tips plzzzzz

 

heres a pic of my escort cosworth pickup mate

 

Quality, always thought about doing this myself, but if im honest i havnt got the bollox to go and hack half my van apart lol
maybe an escort estate boot hatch would be good for tje back? Just need to remove the window and fab some hinges?
To lower the rear, just take the leaf springs off the top of the axle and put them under it, job done.
