areet there again peeps i've already got my 1st van on here as its turboed however i thought that i'd have a bit of a change of pace with my new project as for all i love my turbo van too bits its just too hairy some times when you just want to go out and look good

so here it is its soon to be fitted with a 2.0 zvh running n/a for relability and too save all the hassle of tank and wiring swaps and also coz it going to get used for towing me turbo van to the track too, oh yeah did i mention its loooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!

well its soon to have some proper suspension on the front as i want to fit some overcoils , too match up with the ride hight of the rear as this has been done using a 2"lowering kit off a mk2 escort as well as doing the usual axel over spring conversion.

 

the shells mint its a mk4 again converted 2 mk3 on a g reg no engine in yet and mite be tempted 2 either 1.6 turbo it or 2.0 zvh it nedds coil overs needs 2 go 2 more inches at front got 1.6i spoiler and the back doesnt hit shell its really low wen u see it thanx 2 my mate gavtwopies again 4 helpin and givin me daft ideas
