Ye olde thread revival!

Let's be having an update then!

 

van looks awesome i really like it

 

kin hell id forgot about this thread!



bumpers and back door are now painted engine is built and ready for fitting.


pics to follow i rekon

 

Nice van i like it alot.

 

Cool

Looking forward to the new pics

 

If you are changing the wheels I would go for some wheels from the 90's ie tsw imolas,evos. or if you could get them to fit, some escort cossie monte rims would look well

 

i think the wheels are from the 90's?


wheels are staying, just getting new rubber for them.

 

i know this is an old thread!
but is there any updates? things been changed? i remember seeing this at fusion fab,he told me it was a 60s bmw colour from what i remember, mega cool

 

how do jonny?

i bought it from the lad who lee sold it to when i lived down in manchester.

it is a 60s bmw colour, Fengel B Green not that hard to match, local paint shop has it.


i should update this thread haha.


engine is out of the van for now, rebuliding it slowly, im in no rush.

the old engine made 270atw @ 18psi, which was mental, new engine well id like a little bit more and maybe crack the 300s atw, but 270 it was fast enough for me.

old engine spec....

2.0zvh
focus rs pistons and rods
mfi hatch head with standard valves ported by Sitech
newman cam Sitech profile
Sitech inlet cossie tb
KKK26 turbo
38mm external waste gate

new engine will just have h section rods, think ill still run the frs pistons but not totaly sure yet.

 

I am very much looking forward to getting my parking space back - once he finally pulls his finger out and get the engine back in.

Fingers, toes and eyes are crossed

 

Holy thread revival part 2!

If you like this van, check out the next issue of Fast Ford for a full feature!

 

just started looking for ye olde thread, looks like you beat me to it dan.

just got the pics from mr brannan. so here are a couple. like dan says the full feature will be in the next issuse of FastFord!!!!!!!

 

Very nice mate, would love to have a combi van!

 

The reason I found the thread was I was Googling the paint colour - trying to find the correct spelling!! Took me fucking hours

I'm 96% confident it's 'Fungelb Yellow', although, some spell it 'Fun-gelb Yellow'

 

i wasnt sure on the colour when i was searching for it, i spoke to lee from fusion, who had it painted and he said it was fengelb green. so i took a bonnet vent to the local paint shop and the matched it in there book to fengelb green.

 

This thing is mental.... Boost noises are outrageous. Enjoyed my shot of it lots!

 

ok update time.

after having the van on the rollers i found out that the injectors where totaly maxed out at 98%

so i fitted some RC1000s (abit overkill on the size but i picked them up for cheap money) and put it back on and it made.......



not sure on the bc gearbox, i can feel an MTX calling

 

that's some power Nic!

feature pics are looking good too

 

Top work McMuate

 

saw earlier on FB... good power that muate.. just keep your eye on that 5th gear haha

 

Wat a beast dude, mtx all the way mate, hope you are all well up @ sitech, would be good to pop up soon !

 

Very nice van

Well done for resisting folks telling you to change the wheels, I think they look spot on! Something a bit different, like the paint lol.

 

Nice van mate!

 

I still miss it
