Default Mk6 escort van suggestions

Just bought a mk6 escort van, currently got the standard 1.8D engine in it.

As you can imagine it is pretty damn slow!

Looking to do a conversion on it, but not too sure where to start or who to speak too?

I am also wanting to do something with the interior and the back?

Any suggestions welcomed and greatley appreciated.

Loads of potential in regards to engine swaps. All depends on your budget and what you are after from it.

Get some pics up of it.

Rs2000 conversion can be expensive and st170s are overated go for a nice mondeo 2 litre as plenty of potential for beefing it up as and when you can afford it,
