Hi ive recently purchased a 2000 fiest courier van 1.8d

welcome to the site

any plans for it or just on here for advice etc?

im planning a little drop and a set of pepper pots, and then just sticker bomb the fuel cap and rear windows.

maybe more depends how it looks

sticker bomb the fuel cap and rear windows.

don't bother, looks crap/chavvy/tacky

personally i would fit zetec s front bumper and skirts and then get rear zetec s bumpercut and moulded onto standard bumper so it would fit

sounds like a good idea im mostly worried about the drop at the moment

sounds like a good idea

just happens that i've got a few zetec s kits to sell ;)

get me a pic of the suspension and i'll try and find out what can be done

ive taken a pic but having trouble uploading it

use www.photobucket.com, upload pic from your pc onto there, then paste the img tag into a reply on here

hmmm, is there no spring under there at all?

not from what i can see but i havent had the time to take the wheel off yet and have a proper look.

tbh sounds like the rear axle is like whats on the early vw caddy vans, i'll find you a link for a how to guide to lower the rear of them

that'll be greatly appreciated thank you :)

these might come in handy

there are other guides with pics on that site but you need to sign up to view them

i think the plates are the best idea not too keen on flipping the axle

shorter shocks are advisable with either method

so id have to buy new shocks?

would i get them specifically for my mk

yes you'd need new shorter shocks, i doubt you'd get them specific for the vehicle, when people lower the caddys they use beetle shocks

but what ford would have shorter shocks?

the ka possibly?

the rear shocks on ka's are macpherson struts (spring over the shock), can't use them tbh

best emailing a few places like gmax and spax and ask them if they do any shorter shocks for the courier

ill do that :)

thanks for the help

no problem

is your fiesta modified?

both of them are
