IIRC the MK2 Escort van doors are still essentially MK1 Escort.
Any Escort gurus out there? |

.... and the MK2 van front guards are unique to the van !!! Bridge the gap between shared Mk2 grille/headlights and Mk1 doors.

The Mk2 van dash and dash pad are narrower than the sedan.

The steel part of the dash and top is different, as far as I know the rest is ok. I got caught buying the timber trim from a Mk2 sedan.

I thought Ford were really clever at reusing parts across as many vehicles as possible so as to reduce stocking and production costs. Sounds like the Mk2 vans are somewhat 'special' and 'individual'.
