mexico_16v Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 After a getting rid of the Cossie rep, i thought i would get something a bit better on fuel, something that i could'nt play with or mod.. So here it is.. The Escort Van. It is a N/a ( ) 1.8 diesel I've done aa few things to it, It has Recaro Rs2k front seats.Rockford Fosgate? front speakers 2 X 15 inch Jbl 1000 watt subs in a box, 2 Fcuking huge (unsure of make ) amps16 inch Tsw wheels, with Maragoni front and Goodyear GDS-3 tyres. Fogged front bumper.. Plans are to make it clean and shiny, carpet out and sound deaden the back. I'd like to change the rear doors to the panel type ones. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/DSC02147.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/DSC02145.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/amuffman/IMG_0610.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexico_16v Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 pmsl, nice one! you need to surrendoer those front seats though........I wonder why. As a Van owner myself im likeing this You mention sound proofing the back how do you plan to do this ? ive tried to find out the Pattern for Ply lining the back of mine but up to now ive had no luck PS Dynamat and Meguairs ordered - What are these I'm going to paster the back off the van in it. Or i'll just whack a load of sponge behind the ply. Shall i fit my Rs2k front brakes aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Get some 5dr SI doorcards to match the seats, fit electric windows and things to make it a bit nicer inside. Vans always look good on the deck too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 ha, im not going to play with...mods so far... id put wooden panels in the back then fill with expanding foam be alot easier in the long run and prob cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexico_16v Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 ha, im not going to play with...mods so far... id put wooden panels in the back then fill with expanding foam be alot easier in the long run and prob cheaper?After checking out the prices, i'm going to do that anyway. After being let down on the Gti steering, I've ordered some racing Montery? type thing now. I've also just fitted front fogs and a honeycomb grill. Ad carpeted the back.... Oh and a nodding dog.
