My dad's company van. mk3 Escort back in 1984 was customised into xr3 van. it was windscreen company he worked for. they were special order vans. it was stunning van . It had blacked windows xr3 kit interiors. he was the first guy back in early 80s customised his company mk3 escorts vans. Local Ford dealer. Had loads of early Escort xr3. crashed damaged lease vehicles ready for scrap. they modified the vans from those parts he was friends of the dealer
Yeah I’m not all of them at the 22 doors are some of them will come with it with the one piece door as well. It’s gonna be nice and so finished now. Nice will be good when it’s all finished to show it when it’s all done
This is really cool , lots of escort vans were built when I was a kid in the mid 90s often full RS conversions would love a modernised one with an st 170 lump they have gone up in value alot also a fan of the 3dr escort estate .
Thanks for the positivity mate! 👍 This was a loooong edit due to the audio issues. . . . Believe me Im not great at what I do, I just put the hours in and do the best I can. Im sure you can make way better videos than me.👍
❤ cracking video again Marcus and cat 👍🏻 you can’t beat mk4 escort modified vans I have had a few back in the day with fibresports kits on and lowered , the next video sounds epic Thanks again mate for sharing the videos, what’s next on your escorts mate you must have some plans ?? If you are ever in Lancashire area let us know and you could come and see my mk2 and your number 1 fan my daughter Isla
I initially contacted fibresports to see if they could make a rear door but the moulds all melted in a fire. Hence we went down the fabrication route. So glad we did too. It’s the best bit ❤
@@mk4.escort.van.st300 great idea that with the doors , iam looking forward to seeing the end result fingers crossed you get it finished soon then we can see part 2 on the road 👍🏻👍🏻
I’d actually agreed to buy this van after seeing it on Grants RUclips channel. Was waiting for a collection day off the owner and the next minute I’d seen someone else had bought it. I wasn’t happy. Looks loads better now though.
@@mk4.escort.van.st300 Well it’s made me concentrate on doing my Mk1 Escort so not all bad. Been following your build on Instagram, looking really nice and love the engine choice.
Marcus , I have a challenge for you , find and go and see an escort mk1 van . Cause I haven't seen one on you tube . Anyone have an escort mk1 van for Marcus to go and see.😮

As soon as she’s finished Marcus will get exclusive first dibs 👍
@Mk4.escort.van.st300 Im ready for part 2 whenever you and the van are mate! 👍
I’d actually agreed to buy this van after seeing it on Grants RUclips channel. Was waiting for a collection day off the owner and the next minute I’d seen someone else had bought it.
I wasn’t happy.
Looks loads better now though.
You dodged a bullet mate . It was a 1.6 not a 1.9 and not as good as it looked ! At least she’s doing well now though.
@@mk4.escort.van.st300 Well it’s made me concentrate on doing my Mk1 Escort so not all bad.
Been following your build on Instagram, looking really nice and love the engine choice.
@@andyday1981 thanks mate it means a lot. 👍
About time a pom put bigger wheels on a car,now all it needs is a 302/351W under the bonnet.
Great video any idea what peugeot the steelies came off
I believe 3007 spare steel wheel. But I got these off eBay.
My man , you are yet again in the midlands .
I have been getting about quite alot lately mate! 👍
Good on you , there are some interesting vehicles out there 👍🏻, mk1 escort van next
Did you have to explain what he was saying for your southern friends 😜
We did suggest subtitles 😂
😃
🤣🤣
7:10 guys, am I really fussy or is that re trim job quite poor? The stitching looks like it’s not consistent and quite bent
Loved your channel how you ran it before Marcus
Sorry mate
Is the van for sale?
You would need VERY deep pockets…..
Marcus , I have a challenge for you , find and go and see an escort mk1 van .
Cause I haven't seen one on you tube .
Anyone have an escort mk1 van for Marcus to go and see.😮
I would love to feature a Mk1 or Mk2 van! 👍
For sure , put the word out on one of your videos , probably won't take long👍🏻
It is a Ford Escort van, not an aeroplane it’s not a cockpit cockpit as what an aeroplane has😅😅😮
Another pukka video
The van is going to be stunning once it's finished
I cant wait to see this thing finished! 👍
