Scort van! I had a C(604 FUA) plate mk4 XR3i/Orion box, slammed, painted Porsche yellow, RS1800 Alloys, Janspeed, Full RS Turbo interior (light grey Recaros) RS Turbo bonnet, one-piece rear door, full Alpine V12 Amp system in 1992! Man that thing got some looks and made me proud. It turned up in Fast Ford mag a few years after I sold it in peppermint green and full Cosworth running gear down in Boston (Lincs) That van had the life! Probably in the ground now, R.I.P Lotto win, I would rebuild one again :)
My passion in the 90's was always Escort Vans. I got an old Red postman's van, and it looked like Postman Pat's van. It was only a 1.3 ltr but I got an a RS Kit on it was basically a sheep in wolf's clothing but fun times.
I visit my mam up the road in prudhoe and I've come across that van while I was in my trusty WRX. Never have i held my head in shame when i got blown away on scotchy road by this absolute animal 😳😳🤣🤣
Always change the core plugs when you have the chance. Taught to me by my father who used to rebuild the old Essex 3.0 V6 on a regular basis. Quote "You might regret if you don't"
great vid, top work always good to see lads in the garage having a good time building something special. Van looks spot on, one thing that id say is why not use this extended time we are going to have off and do a bit of a restoration on the underside keep it protected for years to come and have the underneath as mint as the top. keep it up look forward to the next updates
I had 4 RS turbos over the years...including a professionally tiger striped diamond white one...unreliable...always fixing them....but great fun ❤️beautiful van
I had a mk4 escort combi van,rs turbo everything with a zvh turbo,about 10 years ago,the combi van looked alot better with the one big rear door...G9,,,PEG was the reg...👍 Still a big fan anything ford and from the 80's & 90's 👍
@@DecimalTenths They were, PE in Uxbridge were the go to in the south for anything RS back then.. Yep, back when an 195bhp RST was considered quick..sadly today, not so much lol Really enjoyed the video though, brought all the memories flowing back, cheers 👍
Really enjoyed that Nick! Such an epic van and good bunch of guys messing around and working on a cool project! Always a fresh rocker cover! ha Great work!
Love the van I got one but it's got the patina look is polite way to say rusty not as good spec but they fly back in the day used to seriously upset 325i bmw astra gsi name it best thing was to leave the 1.8d badge on the back . Great video as always
Verygood you the Video escort van mk3. It is fantastic material meccanic Ford. In Uruguay much Escort mk1, mk2, mk3, mk3 reelysting, mk4 and mk4 reelysting motor zetec. 😊😀
Awesome mate. If you need any pointers on the cossie management give me a shout. I'd personally run standalone but the webber marelli is a powerful ECU! Thanks 🤘
Hi mate nice van I've got a rs to just a standard cvh my turbo started smoking a bit I want to replace it with the same one as yours do you have a link or any information on what gt30 to buy I want to keep my standard exsuast side like you how do I do it.
I owned 2 mk 4 rs turbos one minted with a fucked engine and a shed with all the goodies on it piper 285 cam mongoose exhaust hybrid turbo and full koni adjustable how I wished I made one good one silly money now
Love the rs mste iv got one with cosworth ecu it goes so well an sounds like a 90s rally car Mine is a 1.6 though Are u able to map these mine is going to sabre tuning in bristol
@@Soulvex Aah the core plug hole...? It is an old technology and probably could, but to be honest the replacement stainless steel core plug won't rot, and was only a few quid so an easy fix in the end. 👍
Try some real good rear suspension, as we built a rs turbo mk2 in West Drayton car spares and found the rear beam axle skipped a lot unlike the car version 👍
Love seeing the 80s and 90s motors really nostalgic and them 7 spokes still look the bollox even years later !
Timeless!
Decimal Tenths belong on Capri tho 👍🏻

Cheers, defo more to come in that area... lots to come 👍
Really great to see you all getting amongst it. Always loved an RS van, good to see a lovely example getting some love !
Thanks mate, it's refreshing that it's a van, not a car. Such a mad and good combination of parts too. Therell defo be more of this coming.

Luv it quality motor 👍👍
Great vid, great van thanks for sharing. 🐒
Couldn't even catch a shitty 1.8 metro last year 🤣🤣 I hope it was all clutch slip
Just to let you know, 15inch wheels will fit very very close. Don't use wheel weights that's how close it is lol.
Class cheers mate. We actually had to relocate some existing old wheel weights to get these on. Good to know though 🤘
They was a sexy looking van
could that be alloy welded shut? or not worth the effort?
Could what be alloy welded shut?
@@DecimalTenths those steel plugs that rot and leak/burst.
@@Soulvex Aah the core plug hole...? It is an old technology and probably could, but to be honest the replacement stainless steel core plug won't rot, and was only a few quid so an easy fix in the end. 👍
Do like the wheels
Try some real good rear suspension, as we built a rs turbo mk2 in West Drayton car spares and found the rear beam axle skipped a lot unlike the car version 👍
It's on the list, rear definately needs some attention. What did you use?
Belta,who is that guy 😂😂 is simpa pulling the series 2 out for a vid?.
Ooh it's in the pipeline mate 😎🤘
PERFECT !! LOVE IT !! I WANT IT !!
Love me some stainless pipe
NICE
😁👍👍
I have just such a Ford Orion RS now making a video on its restoration I wonder if you come to visit me !!!
Where are you?
@@DecimalTenths
I'm from Ukraine
Is that a real genuine Gt30? ?,looks more like one them cheap ebay China turbo's? ?
It's that Chinese that it's new name is corona! Works well though 👍
@@DecimalTenths what a reply 🤣🤣🤣👌👍
@@pauldicken1694 🤘
Looks like it needs a cam belt while you are there
Did you watch the whole video? 🙃
@@DecimalTenths i did i commented to soon 🤣
Itchy trigger fingers...😂 👍
nice
If you wondered how that label got in your toilet mate... see 8:30
Cool 👍🏻
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
How long did it take mate? "been about two hours" 🤣
More like 2 weeks... 😂 Still very professional...
Lifters out, cam out... just buy a vernier pulley 😂
It would have been easier...😂. This pulley is pinned to the cam now so it would take some effort to get off.
That was then and this is now. That engine against TESLA. oh. TESLA wins. So scrap the engine and fit a TESLA motor in the thing. SWEET.
is it for sale
Nope 😁
These Polish immigrants are into everything these days. Their English is getting better too.
Da! 👍
