A happy memory of my bright yellow Mk4 (C plate) RS Van I owned in the mid-90s (the person who bought it off me put Cosworth running gear in it, painted it mint green, and had it in Fast Ford mag) Probably in scrapyard heaven now and the only thing I find online about it is an old Google image :(
I so miss mine I used to have an A reg MK3 with all rs 16i gear on it in Canary yellow until it got nicked and burnt out broke my heart but what I'd do to have that van my life right now wow thank you for making me smile grant your a legend mate 👌👌👌👊👊👊
Old Ford nut at heart like you, massive escort mk 2 fan which I own like yourself.seeing this van brings back memories of the max power days with everyone chipping the cvh turbos trying to get 200 bhp out of them great times love the van !! 👌
You do my nut in with these blue oval pieces! Mate had a mk3 van many many moons ago with a xr3i lump. Beautiful things! I would put it back to stock look and basic white...banded stock steel wheels! Deebloodliscious!
Another cracking vid Grant , love the content with the old Ford van looks proper awesome bit of kit ! And the workman ship again , bloody proper job !!! 😀😀😀👍👍👍
Arthur has a lot of years doing cut and shut on Ladas before he went public, but I admit the man is mustard at metal. Nice throw back with the van, sorted be worth good money.
At the beginning of these video's, im not sure why, but i like to imagine he's just walked out the bog after having a huge shit. Awesome van, would love one myself 👍
Grant Love the video mate nice to see this sort of thing has many guys buy old cars that need a bit of a touch up this is the average guts car who lives on a low budget Phil in stoke
Its nice to see a craftsman at work, having watched you many times perfectionist comes to mind. Shame I'm other end of the country you could sort a little dent for me
Yay Arthur comes to the UK! Cheeky even using a bit of his ‘doing music’ as well lol. I helped him a little with his English sub titles a couple of years back. He’s the best repairer on TH-cam imho, no offence ! Really nice to see something different getting some love.
Remember driving about in one of them years ago (slow standard one tho). Scrapped it when the rear rotted out and bearings went. Was alright tho to be fair nice van. Make a tidy motor with little work needed for someone.
Another cracking video Grant , your phrase “morning guys welcome back to the channel “ has become a joke in our house now . I keep playing it on my phone to the wife and it drives her scatty 🤣🤣 keep up the good work . Amazing how wheels can make a vehicle !
You should take it off his hand could be a ace shop van for you. Any word on your unit getting finished once and for all or have you found a new unit yet? Also have you sold the vape shop yet?
Only problem is that I've got the escort that needs a full hit, a defender 90 in a million pieces, two campers that need tidying a Vito that needs a injector with 'black death' so I have a choice really!
Nice to see there are still some escort vans about not seen one in years. Be a good project for the chanel grant (another one🤣🤣) you not fancy it for a future series???? Make awsome conyent for us lot👍👍👍
My husband had a standard one for years,ex BT when they had the grey one,cam belt went so it was not worth him doing it,he sold it to a guy who was going to do like this with it,he put a fast engine in it but left the body standard.
hey mate i was wondering is it possible that u can measure the location to the rs turbo vents or how i could replicate them ? :P thank u in advance not easy to get the legit rs turbo hood my region :)
I'm imagining that painted black on 16 or 17" Azev A rims😍 mate had an 18d in the early 90s, was a great van. Must be a right handful that one, has it an LSD?
@@grantssmartrepairs old skool boost mayhem🤣 channels absolutely superb man, really works well, nice selection of stuff breezing thru and the fast forward working bits are good too , you get a good impression on of the graft involved etc. Interesting stuff and your vibes cool without even trying to be cool, that's a YT win situation 😎💯
Nice van, reminds me of cruising down Southend late 90s

This is appealing ..there's just something about a fast escort van...
👊👊👊👊👊👊
How much would he want for the van? Always wanted a Mk3/4 and now could finally be the time.
I have no idea mate I’m sure it owes well over 4K 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@grantssmartrepairs Keep me posted mate 👍🏻

Love the look of this 😎
Top job on that bonnet Grant 👍 Wow I bet that van fast 💨

Awesome old vanz how much ur m8 gonna want if its 4sale
??
I have no idea mate it will probably go on eBay I’m sure it owes him a few quid
You should take it off his hand could be a ace shop van for you. Any word on your unit getting finished once and for all or have you found a new unit yet? Also have you sold the vape shop yet?
Roofers came Saturday apparently it’s fixed now 😆😆😆 we will see I’m still looking and shop will get sorted in the coming months 👍👍👍👍👍
nice van bet hes going to want some money for that
I think it owes him £4500 without the softlines
Perfect shop van 💪💪💪
👊👊👊👊👊👊
Love them Van's 👌👌
👊👊👊👊👊👊
Nice old school van
👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
U should buy that van as a works van and make the exterior look like a normal 1.3, would advertise the business well.
I did think about it 🤣🤣🤣
I've got one myself looking sad, only a 1989 diesel, just trying to pluck up some enthusiasm to do something
Get it done 💪💪💪💪
Only problem is that I've got the escort that needs a full hit, a defender 90 in a million pieces, two campers that need tidying a Vito that needs a injector with 'black death' so I have a choice really!
You sound like me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss my rs van one of the best cars I owed
👌👌👌👌👌👊👊👊👊👊
@@grantssmartrepairs u might remember it i had the old scorpion alarms van red rs turbo one
I do indeed 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Screaming to be a shop van for you grant mate... get it bought, be decent advertisement for you 👌🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
I’ve got rst bits in the loft, dash, clocks, arches, side skirts, rear bumper, 89 spoiler, sure ive more
Best I give you a shout if I buy it off him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@grantssmartrepairs do the rear bumpers fit the vans, it’s a white one I’ve got aswell
I believe some people did modify them on there some how back in the day
@@grantssmartrepairs certainly makes them look tidier on the rear
