yea had c20xe in it for a long while but 2 head bolts had stripped head out of block so basically had big head gasket failure all the while lol, but bought it for bargin price and got new engine and box and clutch for 170quid and rebuilt them and put them in etc, had a quick spin in it other night and its alot quicker than it was when u raced it now. lol, just waiting on rear wheel bearing and sump gaskets as its leaking and they should be here tomorrow with a bit of luck

fiesta with 1.8 zetec in it? Nearly bought it off you, it was a toss up between that and a civic 1.5; I took the sensible option (unfortuately)
