I'm the other owner and I'm defo gona have to pull you on this one I haven't just put the st180 engine in I've done the whole st180 running gear tank lines brakes full loom exhaust abs pump servo the lot the only thing I have used is my original dash....
That is an outstanding job, not sat in the pub talking bollox , just cracking on and getting the job done. Once the inside rear is done that will look the dogs.
This is perfection, I clicked on this just thinking it was a drive train swap, jaw dropped at EVERYTHING WORKING, a true fiesta bcm experience, beyond perfection
Nice van! Love the sleeper look too! Takes me back to when I threw a RS Turbo engine into my Mk4 Escort van :) the next owner threw a Cosworth enging into it! :-o
It may be the first ST into a Van. But when I was younger I knew a couple of guys that’d converted an Escort Van into an RS Turbo . And another guy pretty much built and GTE estate .

Yes Bro Back With Anothwr Sick Video As Ever bro 🙌 What a Sick Conversion it Just Looks Totally Factory you wouldn't even no from the outside Looking at it that this has has a Full MK7 Fiesta ST Conversion running 350bhp still being Front Wheel Drive Absolute Monster Round Some Tracks I bet what a Beast This Car is Keep up the sick videos coming Absolutely Love these video's ❤️😊👀
What do I need for this please? Engine and box Loom Clocks Do I need driveshafts and radiator etc please? Got a 2014 connect MK2 obviously. Going to do this conversion soon ❤ Looks outstanding by the way
@@abbzb2083 He just means on a courier I guess. Been done with loads of other van/cars in the past. And pick ups, think of all the escort van conversions. Also I like the build, but I bloody hate the courier van its really small and has a poor n-cap rating. I think it's more like a ford Figo they get in poorer countries.
@@TwinEngineCorsa AHH I thought I'd seen one done before. Either way epic vid mate love the uploads keep them coming. I remember seeing the Corsa at pod few year back at pvs, chunk (Ian) was with you etc. Epic build mate
@@grumgti Plenty of other Ford van conversions but we've not found another Courier van conversion, appreciate that pal, hope to see you again at pod this year mate for sure
Yep full conversion including the dash but we fabricated the van dash so it looks factory, would live to get the vans together to show how things where Done in more detail
Not the first nor is it a conversion in my eyes. The so called “other one” done by FPS, is a full conversation. A courtier that looks like a courtier but has a 300+bhp ST engine and full running gear. Should ask Lewis which one is the first one to be built oh and how much help he needed from FPS to do it lol
Wouldn’t exactly call it help he gave me a few answers to things I already knew about, we’ve gone over this before I asked him what dash he’s using and what issues he ran into witch he didn’t tell me. I already had all the knowledge to do it hence why it took me about 2 months in total if that. Me and fps have spoke since and come to terms with it. There been a big miss understanding since the start. And also this does have a hybrid in the boot ready to throw on so should see around 340bhp
Very nice conversion looks totally factory aswell! Well done Lewis all the best for future ventures on these and also great video again as well guys
Thank you matey. All the best

Amazing build and top marks for a young lad tackling a modern vehicle to produce a conversion that could have come straight from Ford
😲 that lads done a awesome job. The van looks great
Amazing build and top quality finish.
Outstanding work by Lewis 👌👍
Awesome 👌

hats off!
Visuals getting better beardy 💪🏼
Doing it outside on an uneven surface 👏
Awesome conversion
"Back in the day" people used to do conversions with Escort RS turbo engines.
The more things change the more they stay the same
They still do as it’s the better engine still less electric s then newer cars aswell
I built loads s1 s2 Van's and now connect mk1 st170s and even Audi 20v turbo bam connect
Nice van! Love the sleeper look too!
Takes me back to when I threw a RS Turbo engine into my Mk4 Escort van :) the next owner threw a Cosworth enging into it! :-o
Looks brilliant well built 👍👍👍
Even the clutch works . Job done properly. Most people would have just gone with an ST badge and called it a day.
Fair play this kid has done a top job
It may be the first ST into a Van.
But when I was younger I knew a couple of guys that’d converted an Escort Van into an RS Turbo .
And another guy pretty much built and GTE estate .
I built a gte estate back in the day 8v😊
Brilliant job on that one. Takes me back to when i done my mk4 white escort rs van. Done in my drive aswell. 😁 thos were the days. Lool.
The new age Wenny haha fair play alot of graft has gone into that top vid as usual 🤙🏻
Far from it

Keep up the sick videos coming Absolutely Love these video's ❤️😊👀
as a panel beater/painter, just welding the dash is a fair bit of work in itself.
Sweet..
Did you sell the fiesta shell?
Ah, my dream comes true 😍
Absolutely love this ☝️☝️😍
Top lad epic build
I’ve got a transit courier, and have just brought st seats. How dug you fit them into the van . Help would be appreciated
What do I need for this please?
Engine and box
Loom
Clocks
Do I need driveshafts and radiator etc please?
Got a 2014 connect MK2 obviously.
Going to do this conversion soon ❤
Looks outstanding by the way
Good job
Nice job, should be a hoot to drive 👌
are the seats a straight fit or do they need modified
Looks good but not worlds first been done before
Only found one with just the engine swapped, not the full dash aswell, got any links?
What ain't been done before though

So cool 🔥🔥🔥
Did the st seats bolt straight in
Awesome build .......nice seeing the door sensors working but should it not have said ''bonnet open'' as well?
Would this be a problem with the police would you have to register it as a petrol on logbook ect?
Just completed a Focus ST swap in my 2015 Transit Connect
Fairplay, looks better than the factory would do it
The engine Is modded?
So cool, I have Courier Sportvan and would love to put a more powerful engine in it
How much was final cost price ?
Unicorn 😲😎💪🦄
Wish we got these vans in Aus
Defo been done before seen a few I'm sure of it
