nice van but where did you get the rear lights from and are they the same as what is fitted to the cabs - was after a set of lights for my cab for years but never found any

H7 CYA

iTrader: (3)

They are the same as the cabs yet but dont see too many sets any more

boothy1983

Bought this as a project i work in a body shop so painting and body work is no issue just like some advice on rear bumpers that will fit?

Big-al-1978

None just bolt on and fit good
There's a couple on eBay

mondeomark

That back wheel looks a bit far forward.

stu20004x4

its not modified yet, but heres a few pics of my mk5 facelift diesel escort van. just mopped it as it had sign writing on, then washed and waxed for that mirror finish!

got the odd dent and little rust here and there but its never been welded and pulls like a train. possibly be doing an rs2000 conversion in the future but for now its serving me well enough to get me to and from the golf course

That looks mint.

Been flicking through the old pics of the modded vans, I used to have a mk4 van when I was 17 (with a one piece back door) and I'd love a mk3 or 4 van again. It would have to have a proper fast engine not the 1.3 that I had!

Vacuman

I'd be tempted to keep it as it is. Fix those minor faults, rust-proof it and put on some time appropriate livery. Perhaps a local firm from the 90's that's long since gone. Or invent something.

Add a few creature comforts to the inside (lots of sound proofing) and some bigger steels (Mk1 Mondeo?) keeping the hubcaps.

Engine-wise, why follow the crowd. If you have to change the engine, be different perhaps a hi-economy turbo diesel - Duratorq HDi/TDC
