Well heres my mk2 esky panel van that i pickd up off tard me needs a few things done to do it but overall pretty happy with it

esky.th.jpg

Totally hate the wheels on it they sloted the rear drums so i can change from 108 to 110 patterns i think and running spacers on the front

It looks so much sexier with my hotwires 13x7" with 215 tyres but with that comes rubing and i went over a big bump and broke abit of guard off where it had been fiberglassed at one stage. Once i get my car back getting extractors and new exhaust made up for it atm. Im going to either get the guards rolld or flared not sure which so i can run my hotwires i just gotta have them on there!

running 2L pinto and 5spd doesnt run the greatest i had about 2 2l powerd eskys and this feels abit slugish so will see how it is with the extractors/new exhaust the mufflers on it where worn out and all holey lol.

Only problem i see with the motor is it blows abit of oily smoke on start up due to worn valve guides not sure it that affects the motor much in performance wise but only blows it out on start up.

but other then that very happy with it and now since i brought it i started to see panel vans everywhere :lol:

Ill get some better pics once i get my car back pretty tidy inside.

Havnt really done much to her, Put some flares on and my 13x7 hotwires, replaced rear shocks as they were rooted, put the sport dash in with rev counter was really easy to put in. I thought it was going to be a mission but nope easy as pie :D

Going to get it certed after xmas was quoted 550 for the cert :o

currently slowly rebuilding another motor as this one uses way too much oil and still gotta fix a prob with the brakes it stops the car but pedal keeps going really soft even after bleeding it all cant see any leaks or anything so could be the booster?

anyways cares a pic as it looks now

Well had lost interest in this for very long time lol, gearbox blew up , broken win screen etc.. finally started doing things on it again.

It does have a cert now tho so thats all good

Replaced gearbox put a lighten flywheel on aswell.

slowly painting it as weather allows me my garage not big enough to paint whole thing at once so doing it in sections but should be ok with the paint im using, im in no way a expect panel better or painter lol learning as i go. All im after is a "tidy" finish

paint colour delious red
