Default My mk6 van project





This is my very underpowered 1.8 d 55 2001 escort van. I have plans for it to be less slow and look less scrap yard fit.

I plan on fitting an engine out a mk3 astra/ cavalier 1.7 td Isuzu when I find a donor car.

Im planning to paint it the colour of the new rsrs focus. That sort of grey primer lacquered colour. Rs2000 front bumper and a set of skirts once I put new sills on her.

It's been in the family for 8 or 9 years I've put puma wheels on for now.
