All cars are in fit state for pics on here, dosent matter what state they are in, as long as you don't wrap the tyres in clingfilm that is. If you do get out now! only joshing, sounds good what are the plans for the 105e?
Oh and welcome

other than replacing the rotten bits!.... wat weve done so far on the 105: -rebuilt A pillars,floor sections,front panel,chassis legs -flated bodywork for primer (ish) -removed spare wheel well, fuel tank and fuel filler -fibreglass bonnet,boot n maybe doors? ? -polycarbonate windows -modified mk2 escort xmember with steering rack -custom engine mounts -modified bulkhead -lotus pedal box -capri steering column -modified light setup on front panel (sounds nasty, looks trick!!!) -larger mouth on front grill for bigger rad and oil cooler as for the now: -linking back axle and panhard rod -stripping underside of curse word! and future... -1700 xflow -big valve head -twin 40 webbers -Kent A2 cam -golf gti oil cooler -lightened + balanced flywheel n clutch -finish welding -full cage -prep -paint there thats bout it!!! been at it a while but does take us a lot cos we make everything on premises, we don't believe in buyin wat we could make!!!!!! aiming for paint in late spring but uno wat that means....ha.

MEGA!
Good skillz. (ps> If you wanna flog the wheels off the van they'd look the d.bizzle on my focus wagon!)
(PPS If I can bully my dad enough into lending me a lock-up, I may be badgering for 105e advice!)

Hi, welcome, recognise you from other place(s), sounds like a top selection of motors. don't see many escort vans these days, maybe am not looking. looks good though
|

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Ahhh I see. I hope Christian is ok with it! Apparrantly its bad Nettiquite (sp?) but HoTWire had just been on.
Yeah there were a lot more vans about in the 90's i'm sure there was a bit of a fad for them then. thats why its so refreshing to see a nice subtle one now. Once saw a wierd hightop one done up in Huddersfield it looked like an alien ice cream van!
Would love a Mk3 one sign written in 80's graphics, hmmm
