mk1 or mk2 Escort Panel van

Nobody has one or knows of one?


No matter.
I have found and bought and already picked one up.
Very clean and straight body. Is in dire need of paint though, but shouldn't take much as the body is very straight.
It's a non runner though but only a 1300, so motor will come out and likely be replace with a 1600.
It's a windowless van, so It must have been a delivery vehicle in it's time, as there is in't even a crash pad on it.
But the big upside, is it is still a complete car, and solid. Only minor things like indicator lenses. One headlight, rubbers that I have seen so far that need replaced.
Probably lots of bushes and steering and suspension. But that's no big deal, I have the other one I can pull them off.
So hopefully I will have this thing on the road by Christmas, It's a big push job. I have added some photo's. What do you all think.
Also this thread can be moved to the Projects section now, and I will keep you all posted on how it goes.

I saw that one on ebay last week, good buy. Those rear bumpers look like they should be on the front.

Thanks ozstang. Never thought of that.

I was just going to settle for the full bumper on the front and the bumperettes on the back, But I have the rear bumperettes of the other van that can be put on the front and then have them all round as the look heaps better. Just need to get those rears, cleaned and chromed and the brackets straightened. Cheers for the idea though.
