Default Escort Van Advice

Hi,

Ive just recently bought a white escort van and i want to seriously improve on it. (I will then post pics of it with each stage of the project)

Love some of the cossie kits on those vans out there.

Post pics of your van. (also if you can give tips on where to source the kits - not having much luck here in N.Ireland)

Thanks everyone!!!

Jack

Nice.....I like what you have done with it. (Great pics - very clean van) Mine, is not in good condition - hence the need for a project on it.

Where did you get the wheels? Look awesome. What lowering springs did you go for?

Wheels were tsw evo-r's power coated black, had escort gti -60mm springs on the front with the axel on top of the leaf springs with the U clamps turned the other way around, I do still miss it when i look at the pics of it, i would get another one to make it look exactly the same, It had a 4' rage back box on, black tights over the rear lights, and the sun strip, thats all i done to it, and alot of polish! that was took just before USC 07

Impressive. I am finding it hard to get kits and stuff - being in N.Ireland. The cost of postage is crazy - was being quoted £90 delivery for a bumper kit. (May have to put project on hold......agh!) Any one know anywhere I can source kits in Ireland?
