Not much available now you can get standard GTi/RS2000 sideskirts and have to cut and extend them to fit the vans longer chassis. The aftermarket van specific ones are no longer made by Fibre Sports I managed to get hold of a set on eBay last year still not got around to fitting them. If you have a 2001 then its a Mk6 not Mk5 as the earlier RS2000 had a different more rare sideskirt, there are plenty of photo's in forums to get an idea of how. I have seen a Cosworth style bumper also on eBay however asking price is over £100.00.

I am not an expert but think that you have to probably get the Escort Van TD (non turbo version may be the same) fuse box as the estate one may have different connections (ABS, central locking, elec windows etc) to it being a car and not the van. I have a TD van also but a 2002 model so this may have the better fusebox in it but I have not had a look at most of the electrics on it as yet. Have you tried pulling fuses to see if the van still operates as it should where otherwise you wont rely on those fuses? On another note, I have a problem with the interior light not turning on with the switch on it but works when the doors open even though I changed the light assembly???? This is minor so will look further during the summer months.

OK then wow no wonder all the cars are at yours. I was thinking I lost out but was going down the route of the manufactured van side skirts just to avoid the modifications but looking forward to giving this an attempt now. If your willing to let go a set from your treasure trove, shall I message you here or eBay when I am ready could collect if still in Essex as I am in East London.

Are most of the parts sold yet Hench? I was looking for the skirts, messaged you a while back (via eBay) for another car you had, want to modify and put it on a van

This car is being broken in Essex area on eBay. Seems like its in the same place where another forum members car from here (an R reg in blue) I found was on here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Escort-Gti-Breaking-5dr-Good-Spec-Rs-2000-Ghia-Si-/232129961062?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

This site has dropped off...........I recently got a van too looking on here for some inspiration and ideas and got my plans in place just have to do this a little more later in 2017 due to £££ and time. Was looking for a how to on extending the sideskirts, seen some pics on this from other member cars, however looking still.

Here it is the eBay page

Just seen this car on eBay breaking, was looking for spares for project van and noticed by the bumper cut outs and then the registration.
