Dont quite know what to do yet as when the cambelt went l was up to my
ears in work so went to auction and bought another escort with the
intention of repairing this one then selling the new one on

But when do things go to plan, with the MOT coming up for renewal on the
new van went to the breakers and got a new cylinder head for the old
van that is now up and running

So not only do i have a spare cylinder head l have a spare van :lol:

Now l have to be firm with myself and tell myself NO YOU WILL NOT strip
the whole van down and rebuild it like new
There would be less trouble in the world
if l had not had six daughters

I'd be tempted though if I was in your shoes! You could go the whole hog and give it a great paint job. :thumbright:
