Im not sure what to think of it though

Looks like all the Escort vans that used to be all over Southend in the mid 90's

Spot on mate, and paint it a better colour, like blue, black or purple

Said from the heart. Why the single whiper to start with!?

The mk4 vans look much better modified.

I wonder how many attempts it took to turn the ignition off at the exact right moment to leave the wind screen wiper like that?

Pure early-to-mid 90's Max Power..........


















.........I like it

got to agree on the mk4 looking better, was a nice one done by an audio shop at last rsoc (i know its not an rs ).

as for comments on escort vans, they were excellent, had a mk4 with rs kit n wheels on myself

 

[willd58]

I like it too, its kind of retro chav. i am a big fan of the looks of modifed vans if its done well, dont think id ever own one though.

 

[Morba]

best van i remember was a mk5 with escort cossie kit n wheels!

 

[Fr0dders]

splitter isnt to my style, prefer a smooth lip rather than with an air gap between bumper and splitter

and dont liking the quad headlight kit. Only one i do like is the for bugeye impreza, and lets face it, anything is an improvement on those lights.

MAXXXXX POWWWWA!!!!

Hate the front. Kill it!!!

As others have said, better wit a more standard light layout. There's a respectfully chooned up white Astra GSI (MK3) buzzing around my area atm (big rimz an fat zorst, nothing else though), and it's really quite a nice motor. Infact, I'd go as far as to say I'd hit it!!! I'm not sure why, it's just that I really like the shape of the mark 3.

Bin the bodymods and sit it on Vectra steels. Then go smoke some rodents.

 

[agw_01]

Some of these vans can look very smart. That is just a perfect example of one... if it didn't have those ugly front lights

One I guess as it's a DTM single wiper conversion where the wiper parks in the centre by design.
