Default J REG MK4 ESCORT COMBI VAN (project) PICS

heres my new j reg mk4 escort combi van ive just brought as a project!

as we all know j reg mk4's are very rare but this is the 1st j reg combie van ive ever seen.

brought it off ebay yesterday wiv 10 months tax & 4 months test for just £250!!!!!!!

after a 5 hour drive!!!!!!! we picked it up turned arouind & came home.

it was bog standard this morning & very vrey faded (looked grey in places), but after a good days t-cutting, a grinder 2 trim a few unwanted coils off & a set of escort cossie wheels its starting 2 look rather smart!

what do u think?









i have fiesta turbo running gear for it & lots more!

but for the next few months its staying as it is as im gonna use up most of the tax before it gets stripped down.
