I'm a Skoda fan through and through but due to both front struts collapsing on my Felicia pick up,i've had to buy a cheap motah...... I'm now the owner of a 1992 J FORD ESCORT 1.  van.  A mate was selling it, ex British Gas, taxed and tested till Feb and just had pair of new wings fitted, all for the bargain price of £50. Swimming pool in passenger footwell came free of charge. My question is....... What do i do with it? Anyone got pics for motorvation? Will post some pics of van once i've got my camera sorted. |

 You should be ashamed!!  BTW look at the battery tray, they usually rot out resulting in passenger side swimming pool! Hope the Skoda struts didn't cause an accident.

got new battery tray ready to fit.
Struts are rubbing on tyres, common bottom spring cup failure on both sides.
