Not being a ford man myself one did bypass this thread, however I am very very green eyed at you for having such a lovely piece of shite... those Sierra Vans look the muts.... Having had a mk5 scrote 1.8tdi in the past as a daily runner as well i am sort of a fan of the uber slow engine ... well done and looking forward to seeing how this come together.

[greendragon3]

hi lads , i had the white van out for a run yesterday and i thought id put up a few pictures . :up: :up:

 

[dollywobbler]

Now that's some transformation!

 

Here's how it looked back in Feb. Crikey.

[Morgan84]

Nice to see its being used and enjoyed,what further plans do you have for it ?

 

I see its sporting Focus wheel trims !

[Split_Pin]

Wow that looks great now!

 

Brilliant job on bringingrhis van back from the dead. It's great to see that its on the road again.

[Micrashed]

Superb, and rare.

Nice job

[beko1987]

What a great transformation! Wish I had the space/balls/knowledge to do something like this!

[skoda_fan]

Massive respect to you, sir. Top work. Wonderful to see something like this getting so much love and attention

[beko1987]

If you properly detailed that, I'm talking clay, machine polish, glaze wax etc that would look like it rolled out the showroom. You could go the whole hog and http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=277901...

[RedSparrow]

Wow you've really worked wonders with that!

Some really dedicated shiters here that put me to shame.

[mk2_craig]

A belated "well done" for bringing this back from the dead. Nice registration mark too but I guess that has no transferrable value in Eire?

[Felly Magic]

This thread has winnage written all over it. Well done, you are a very brave man taking that white beast on.

[scruff]

Holy crapola!! http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/163409/sierra-vans-500-ireland

 

If only Ireland wasn't such an expensive bastard to get to and from I would be very tempted. What a ace runabout van!!

[twosmoke300]

I saw a bini cuntyman made into a van last week.

I assume it was vinyls over the windows but it looked a lot better than a car.

 

It was from a garage up country and had been signwritten very well.

Dont think it was available from Mini like that but almost looked "factory"

[Mr Lobster]

You can get factory built Bini vans though given they are the thick end of £20k and are still relatively tiny why you would want to is lost on me. 

[chaseracer]

The factory vans are vinyled-up Clubmans (Clubmen...?)

[catsinthewelder]

Not sure about that http://www.mini.co.uk/model-range/clubvan/ from £12k + VAT

[greendragon3]

hi all , sadly i have had to sell both of my sierra vans due to ill health , they are now on there way to the new owner in oldham so keep an eye out for em .

[JeeExEll]

Anyone have updated info on the Sierra vans?

No DVLA info obv as they were on Republic of Ireland plates in 2014.

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Wow, I'd clean forgotten about these. I've got a feeling I originally saw them on a thread on the blue.

Great to see they were saved and not rotten to the point of no return. I wonder what the next stage of the story was?
