Caddy Van or Pick up, or Escort Van

[F17BAD]

Iv seen some turbo derv escorts with a years MOT going for circa 700.. I think that's pretty good going

As chuff mentions I'm aware of the rust issues on that era caddy and also the fords..

I love the mk3 van idea tho ;-) what engines are in these ? I really want a turbo if I'm honest

Doc I need to get F17BAD over to u ASAP really, so yea soon as I sort this we can do that if u guys are free? I'll call u anyhow to sort :-)

You can't map a escort turbo derv can u?

i find the partner annopying to drive. i get really sore shoulders and neck after about an hour and find the light/indicator switches really really sensitive.

horrible compared to the caddy

Golf van is a 1.9d slow but does over 50mpg

Seen turbo ones but not sure if they were from factory like that. Engine swap should be easy enough

hahaha i dont now if thats a good thing or bad  

does not need to be fast tbh.. as i have the Golf for that.. but i don't won't owt thats gonna be hell on the up hills... like my old runner was (mk5 escort 1.3 )
The Escort Vans iv seen have a Turbo.. 1.8TD so i think they would perform ok.

im picking up a D reg  1986 MK1 caddy on Tuesday.. not mine.. but this is having a new heart....more on that later tho  


i do like caddys. would i be able to easily load a engine on one do you think ?

gonna prob buy something in december, it needs to get me through winter as F17BAD will not perform in the snow (wheel spin city) and it also needs to see ben through when we convert his car as that will be off the road

it also needs to see us right with our conversion jobs.. need at least a years trouble free from it.. as i say iv seen Escorts with a  year ticket and a turbo close to £700.. and around 1998 - 2001 years
