Thinking about an engine change , possibly 2l zetec and then maybe turbo it at a later date, cos the 1.8 derv is painfully slow!!!!!

Yer 1.8 derv isn't much fun to say the least in these agreed. But alot better than walking!
Good thing with these is there plenty of potential with an engine swap an a cheap doner vehicle shouldn't be hard to find. Know a friend of a friend who converted his 1989 fiesta
1.6s to 2ltr zetec power a few year's ago an he picked up a doner for about £250.
All the best with it mate.

I thought the same thing and got all over excited!
The van you've got has bags of potential.

I too got excited when I saw the title. I used to have a Mk2 Escort van back in 1990. It had the following genuine RS2000 parts: nosecone & wings, engine, struts, brakes, 4 spokes, fishnet Recaro's, dash etc...plus a bullet box. It was painted Azure Blue (this was the early 90's  ) and sat pretty damn low - especially for that era. Nippy? Very! Sounded good too until a car pulled out of a junction in front of me and it got bent quite badly  By the time I broke it for bits, I tripled my money on the spares alone and that was minus the rather torn nosecone and buckled wings. I really miss that thing! (must try and find a photo of it) |

Going slightly offtopic now, but are the Mk2 saloon front parts a straight swap onto the Mk2 van/estate even though it is Mk1 based?
