escort van tdi with aircon and fmic
Building a mk6 escort van with a late w reg escort tdi engine complete with aircon.. heres there doner.. mot till sept
The plan is to swap the entire front end and interior loom so gaining elec windows and mirrors central locking and air con.. with it being a late spec escort they tend to have high spec fuse boxes so I could probs have electric seats and heated screen.
The van is a ex royal mail on a 51 so its red/pink which is perfect for what I want. No pics of that yet untill it arrives on Saturday. More to come

Finally got to make a start on the van over the weekend, previous owner did block paving so van was full of soil an crap. Soon got into stripping it, there was a bad power steering leak so engine bay was minging. Few bits of welding needed and body is covered in dents but it will do for what its intended. Some pictures..
Still loads to do thought id have a look at how the fmic would sit with the air con rad etc
With a packed engine bay its going to be fun routing the pipe work but I dont mind a challenge. Doner car is 90% stripped now just need to remove interior loom then the swap over can commence. Thanks for looking.

I'll be quite interested to see how you manage the fmic pipework as I've just picked up a focus sti intercooler that I plan on fitting to my tddi escort estate
Not made a start on it but I'm expecting some fun with the pipes cos as ya say there ain't much room in there for them
Gotta rebuild my garage first tho which is a much bigger project lol
