Clemency if I don't have ground effects?

Hello all, I have been lurking for a bit so I thought I'd finally say hi to everybody. I bought a 2015 XLT Van in March of this year. The van had a little higher miles than I wanted (108k miles) but it was local-ish and seemed to be well maintained. I bought it from an automotive shop that used it for an in-town roadside assistance vehicle. It was very dirty but in good shape and drove well. I paid $8,000 for it. My plan is to clean it up, use it as a daily driver and slowly convert it to a micro camper. I bought this over a pickup since my commute is about 60 miles a day and a truck would kill me in fuel costs. I've already cleaned all the decals and residue off of the exterior. I pulled the entire interior out except the dash and scrubbed everything. It was FILTHY and smelled pretty terrible. When I pulled the carpet out, I discovered the van was infested with cockroaches, which was a nice surprise (yay Florida!). I have all of the interior reinstalled now but had to throw away the rubber cargo mat because it was contaminated with ATF and was moldy on the underside. I bought a Bedrug kit from Amazon for $50 (no way was I paying $200+ for a piece of carpet). It will be a slow moving project.

Herb would flog me in the town square, for the stickers and loud muffler on my Honda. Herb is probably not a Fast & Furious fan either.?

According to Herb's rules, I need bail money...

Now this would make a perfect TC power plant :-) if you could afford that ... for the curious its the back of an Audi R8 race car

I hear that with lighter weight, the RX7 beats Mustangs with the same 302. Lots of exciting mods and builds out there.

These crazy Brits have dropped plenty of ST engines in the Connect, some have RS engines + AWD.

That's not completely true. M-Sport is an actual racing company that builds Ford WRC and other race cars https://www.m-sport.co.uk/

Has anyone seen this on the road yet?
