Also got a set of sport wheels so don't know wether to make a sport rep just faster ;)

Either way there will either be a set of sport wheels for sale or the alloys off the van at the mo, I'll get pics for any interested people


Where's this project up to Image
This is mine converted 2 years ago, now I'm thinking the engine may be worth doing

Is the list immense for convo ??

And How much did you pay for the front? Also will changing the front effect insurance? Sorry about all the questions :S



No radiator mods necessary , if use full front your replacing , slam panel
Bumper bar and mounts , found it easy myself , scuttle is difficult snd the legs and wings
But only a few days work if good with welder
Indicators - either swap plugs or just get into the light and tap into indicator loom !!


Love an engine upgrade but not sure I could afford the st mod, any ideas for best engine upgrade with changing as little as possible ! Cheers in advance guys

Just for updates sake the van was completed but ended up having to run 125tdci transit management as it's impossible to tie in the Mondeo st and module etc.

One thing I will say is once it was mapped I removed the sport wheels back to steels and no word of a lie the van was a rocket ie smoke from front tyres leaving roundabouts in 3rd in the dry if you wanted lol
