Well a couple of guys asked for photos of the escort van so I thought I would get most of them up.


First off is the van. This is it so far.

looks like a mk5 fiesta to me at the the very earliest mk4 lol capri looks rough though what spec are you hoping to build it back to? would be nice to see it saved

it would be nice to see that capri put back to its former glory and not molested like that van

The van is a work van so I wasn't to worried about keeping it original.
I've had run in's with my neighbours before about parking, last time I implied my winch could drag her car on the back of my truck even if the handbrake was on. She left me alone after that.
Not sure about the engine in the capri.
Plan with the capri is fix it, new engine?, alloys and spoiler rs3100 one.
My van is on the lower end of the spectrum the capri is on the other. Welding small plates to the capri is going to take time she is actually pretty solid. It just looks bad.

Still don't know where the hell this goes!


Started on the rear bumper, Just using filler at the minute to tidy it all up.
I'll get some more photos up soon

Ha there how you getting on with making rear doors into one, I'm thinking of doing the same thing and them turning it into an up and over, was looking at using some galaxy struts to aid with lifting, 630n plus going to lighten the door as much as possible without weakening it, the glass is coming out and having plate put in to fit flush so it look s all in one, I know I can get a fiberglass door but I ain't got the £200 they cost. Still looking for suitable hinges, anyone have any ideas on these?
