It may not be VAG, but its definately an award winner.
This started life as EX British Gas van & after many mods we have a unique end result.
Last year it won 3rd place in Light Commercial category at the truck show & this year we won 1st place. :jumpmove:

Nice work :happy2: I was looking into getting one of them at one point (might have needed one for work) and was going to do something similar. What truck show did it win at??
-
It was Oswestry Truck show. It was a bit wet this year, they were towing trucks into the showground it was that wet!!
-
Not been to that one yet. Dad said it was the same at the show at peterborough this year with drivers refusing to park on the grass.
-
Very nice :happy2:

Thanks Dave,
Focus RS engine had been looked into, but the engines & scrap RS's are big money :surprised:
-
A friend of mine built x 2 transit connect RS powered vans. He also had one with a cossie engine in, painted black with "private ambulance" stickers on it! :jumpmove:

Would that be geoff from CSG?
-
It would be indeed

Small world, I know 'short arse' Geoff too haha,
I used to knock about with him years ago, always see his creations on facebook. That black one looked evil
-
A couple lads I know down my way did the first cossie tranny back in the day. They did a lot of mad builds on Fords.
I have seen Geoff's vans at the shows :smiley:
-
Ah yeah, I remember when Geoff had a Transit Cossie in Imperial Blue a good few years ago.
I ended up dabbling in a few fast fords myself about 10-15 years ago, in between all my german motors. Had a mint low mile 1990 Escort RS Turbo, a less mint 1987 Escort RS Cab with a tweaked series 1 motor (for about 3 months over winter....wrong timing!) and a magenta sapphire 2wd cossie lastly and again briefly - was always worried about it going pop and costing me big time.
There's a garage in a quiet little village near us that always has plenty of old school fast fords outside. I used to always have a nosey when I was dropping my motorbikes off for MOT's next door.
Nice Connect by the way!

Wicked van! :happy2:
