Very true. Just thinking it'd be some thing different. The problem with vans is you can't paint them certain colours without it then being associated with certain companies (yellow - AA, red - Royal Mail etc). That's why I'm going to stick with white and totally embrase the 'white van man' stereotype!

Interiors ready to go in, Mark 5 rs2k in black leather, fiesta 3.5 subframes fit straight on so ppl know.

 

Rebuilt all the front end, new lower arms, brake pipes, hubs drilled out for mondy brakes.

 

Engines fully built, timed up. Belts on, s2 clutch is on.

 

Right so we got the engine in all good, tried fitting the ib5 and it doesn't match up so a trip up to heaveyrightfoots mansion Saturday got me an rs2k mtx75 box, subframe, hubs and gear linkages. So all the work that's been done has now gotta be redone (not happy but worth it)

 

Will be using Mark one focus Rs clutch now so o know it'll handle the power better but wasn't cheap.

 

Bye bye big garage hello spray booth :)
