Yay Me!!!

[KevDavies]

Yay I've won an Escort van heli transporter of the old fella!!!:beguiled::excitement::drool5:

2 bad points, I'm banned till next November, and the cambelts slipped and gone boom:distress::distress:

So full restoration and rwd sillyness conversion here we come!! (when I get a job that is!!):nopity:

So what do ya reckon?? Cossie YB, 2.1 pinto, or 2.9 Cologne?? Or even a 3l cossie 24v?? Possibly a blown zetec if I can get one at right money.

[GIXERMAN]

Scrap it and get a bottle of fuel ;)

[electricsceadu]

get some chickens
they'll love it

[KevDavies]

There is that option!! But its too windy to fly at the min Brian!! My helis are safer indoors, especially with my recent record

[panosg]

Get Cossie YB in it!!!! Leave th rest of the van as it is! Sleeperrrrrrr.......vroom vroom :welcoming:

[KevDavies]

Thats defo my first choice mate, although YB's and a decent MT75 box are hard to come by now. Not like when I was a kid, you could get a cossie powertrain fer a grand!!

Capri rear axles are also on the thin side too, may have to graft a sierra rear subframe on, wont be that hard tho the escort van is basically a blank canvas underneath.

And yeah will be a sleeper, just tidy the interior, re-line the back and have a sliding heli rack to get my helis and buggy kit in. I'll try an make it so I can kip in it aswell at fly ins and 2 day races etc. Be better than an estate car that I used to use! LOL

[sjm]

So how long have you got before you can drive your Beast?
Sounds like a plan though

[KevDavies]

Next November mush!! I should be proper buff by then with all this bloody walking n cycling!!

Ive done a few before for punters, I just need to work out what level im gonna take it. Because if im gonna go as far as a rwd conversion, I may aswell get it dipped and do a proper job on it.

Atleast labour will be free, and I supposedly know what im doin LOL

[johnsandywhite]

Sounds like you are a fair mechanic Kev. Why not go for a mechanics job?

[debrooker]

many moons ago my step dad lent me his escort van for a week, never had so much fun

Glass back mate, broke it 10 years ago. I can still do the job, but physically cant do it all day everyday

[st200ol]

Shirley if you are just back to driving after a years ban (speeding,DRU or whatever) your insurance will be sky high on a modded vehicle. Just leave it standard.

[KevDavies]

Im hearing ya, itll be high anyway! Out of curiosity ill get a quote now brb

[Dan22]

Insurance wise, probably cheaper to find a nice zetec and mod that, they are a great engine!
