A lot has been spent to build this combi van. I'm not sure how much as I would rather not think about it :)
This started its life out as a 1. 4 the previous owner then put in a 1. 6 which is registered (however the number plate doesnt show up with insurance companies so i had it insured as a 1. 4) and this was taken out and replaced with a 1. 6 Ford RS Turbo engine with T3 turbo. which has a lot of chrome parts (see pics) also blue samco hoses and bailey dump valveThe person who i bought the engine off said the engine had been rebuilt one thousand miles ago and it has not been driven much since the restoration. Should be running about 175bhp as it has a 175bhp superchip. but needs testing on a rolling road. It has a respray in Ford Panther Black Pearl (few marks on front bumper from putting engine in)The back is now carpeted in Black (ready for a bed :P)Rare power tech type D wide alloy wheels which are very wide (15x9 i think). Brand new tyres all around. The door and boot locks have been flushed to improve security and remote central locking fittedRS Turbo steering wheelAlpine Speakers. sony head unitSpare steel wheel with good tyreBrand new rocker cover gasket. cam belt. alternator belt (less than 200miles)3 inch straight through exhaust. 3. 5" back boxMomo gear knob90 spec interior with recaro seats (very comfy)have MOTs going back a few of yearsA few spares which the buyer is welcome to
Bad points:The battery doesn't hold charge very well anymore due to being sat for ages while the car was being restoredWhen cold the idle speed is abit off but im sure this is not a major issue and is fine once warmSmall oil leak from rocker cover. have a spare rocker cover that just needs to be fittedAlloys have some minor curbingTemp sensor doesn't workTHESE ARENT MAJOR ISSUES AND DONT AFFECT THE DRIVE

These combi vans are getting rare now and dvlas howmanyleft. com says there are only 33 left on the road
