thanks for all the well wishes guys! heres a heap more pics we took.. should hopefully be going up in a month to get them back from my uncle who is storing them for us.. the rust on the side of the mk1 is literally the only rust in the car at all.. the bklue mk2 has rust along the a pillars and drip rails (can kinda see), but the engine bay is amazing!!

enjoy :)...so cant wait to get them!! 4agze 4 linked mk2 van is going to be the way i think :)

[:0] You ar$ie bustard Matt! [:x)]

They look awesome!

Both excellent vans. But that mk2 looks awesome. I reckon you should leave that graphic on the side. It looks great!

Hey! BabyBlue has a sister I never knew about!

I hope that you got that headless dog thrown in with the purchase (as seen in front end photo of the MK 2).

Very nice of you guys finding homes for all these orphaned Escorts.

Orphaned!!??!! [:u]

BabyBlue has been dearly loved and cared for in our family since purchased on April 11, 1986.

The old PC DOCTOR van,i wondered where that got to as i have not seen it around for a while,from memory it was in really good nic when i last seen it and it must be about two year's since it was last registered and on the road.Nice find and good luck with what ever you do with it.

Regards Troy
