Transit connect - let's have some fun

Postby Harland292 » Tue Jun 17, 2014 9:25 pm

Ok so just bought a few weeks ago transit connect 06 plate gave around £1200 for..

Reason for the van is I race the British championships doing motocross and I'm a builder so it's all round handy..

So this is how I bought it:

So far not done a lot apart from a lot if reading up..

But started de stickering:

Ok so the plans and I'd really like some positive/ negative comments to help me out..

First off as I race mx iv got a few sponsors first sponsor is going to plastidip my the van in satin blue :) like this:

Auto dip it my sponsors are charging me material costs only so £150

This will be everything colour coded minus the arches

The arches will be carbon fibre hydro dipped

Wheels:

18" BBS reps
Image

As for lowering having mk1 Coilovers on the front
Axle flipped and blocks/hangers to suite..

Then iv been toting with ideas but it's come down to 2..
Cosworth 4wd standard chassis adapted with tunnel welded and rear axle supported

Or focus st2

I don't fancy doing the rs as it's been done..

Looking at seat options now, but I'm leaning to the full leather st170 seats

So this is what this threads going to be about, it won't be done straight away it will be done as and when unless the spaceframed rally spec car sells prior..

If I go down the cosworth route the guy who has built my previous mad cars will do it WRC - walker race cars

Cheers
Ash

Or go for the sound of v6 which I can see been an easier conversion :/

Spoke to the company in Bolton who's done the rs conversion looks like I'm going for a supercharged st170 :)
