Escort mk6 van
Hello people,
Let me introduce myself, I'm Dave and I live in Belgium, Zwevezele. At this moment I'm combinating work and my studies in bachelor cartechnology. I've been working at a ford service garage (Garage ford de keyzer Christophe in Zwevezele) in the saturdays for about 5 years, and about 3 years from now I'm working and servicing rally cars at team floral in Roeselare.
After watching this forum with interesting threads in it, I decided to join it too and telling you about my adventures too.
I recently bought a low budget ford escort mk6 van 1.8 turbodiesel with a lot of work on it.
I already fixed the problems to get me through the MOT:
- a rear brake line.
- a rust problem at the back and right side.
There's much more to do on the van:
- engine replacement from a donor car that has an accident. The car has a turbodiesel intercooler with less kilometers on it than the engine the van.
- the front bumper, it's a look a like from a rs2000 with fog lights in it.
- the dashboard because the dash in the van hasn't have a rpm meter an the dash of the donor is more easy to install a boostmeter.
- because the bumper has a form of a mk5 and the van has the front of a mk6 I will think this thing through.
- possible the wiring for the rpm meter and the fog lights.
That's all folks for this time, see you next time for an update.
Greetings Dave
