Dont ask me how - But found one in a garage, under a cover - Grandson had it left it and forgot about it in there Grandads garage - I asked what was goin on with it - And been offered it for a riduclous price, Goin to go have Proper look later first, what to look out for? I no theres a few people on here who have had and currently own em'

From what I can gather its a 2.1zetec bottom end
C20let pistons
Fiesta inlet
Cam, pulley etc, for stage3 head
Cossie managment, 5th injector etc,
Unsure what turbo - Said came off a cossie
Pace front mount
Chrome engine bling
Brembo brakes
Bare shell respray, red oxide primered, then grey then Diamond white
Only thing is it needs and interior - Shall be lookin at it after work so will come back with pics

This thread is so useless without pics!!!

But on a serious note that sounds good. What was the ridiculous price? Too high or cheap? Pace stuff was the shit!

How does someone "forget" about a car like that with a fortune of bits on it?
Seems a bit too good to be true to me,

I work in the local car parts place - and some old boy in the town was slightly crippled, needed some bits for an old project of his, always tinkering around on cars, So I said id deliver to his house - Got there and I spotted the cover peeping over the front of the bumper, And quickly asked " whats that then"

his Grandson lives abroad now and works away.

And imo the price is cheap. Not more then a couple K. But leaving it as that - Im going up after 6

From what ive gathered it just needs interior and tax & mot of corse..

Excited to say the least...

Give it a good going over. You might find you need to spend another couple of k to bring it up to scratch.
