danpug 1 Posted November 7, 2007 I wouldn't have thought they would be that difficult, theres definitely less around now than there used to be but the ones i have seen for sale in recent-ish times have been nice and cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted November 7, 2007 Ecosse did a Cossie engined 4x4 305 van once! There are 2 types of 205 van, the standard van and the Multivan, which has the big back on it. Alternatively look at a Peugeot Partner which is the same size as some of the larger escort vans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gentrix 2 1 Cars Posted November 8, 2007 to call a car with no backwindows a Van is just wrong. a Van starts here. but there was one other model - never seen one in the flesh because I had a similar idea one day, I made a quick photoshoppuzzle It´s really rough sorry, but you get the idea and last, but not least andi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clifton 0 Posted November 8, 2007 but there was one other model - never seen one in the flesh that second one down is exactly what im after....im guessing there kinda hard to get hold of though? i dont want to change the look of the van...its what going to be powering the van that will be the party piece! i will tell all if i find a suitable van or such thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan 99 Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) The Citroen C15 is quite similar. It's based on the Visa: They have XU diesel engines, so engine swaps should be fairly straightforward. There have been a few facelifts over the years. The older ones look a little more retro that that. Edited November 8, 2007 by Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 8, 2007 the C15 is VEYR similar to the 205 mechanically and size wise, built from 1984 to 2003, and damn cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
