Brought this two days ago at the price of £700
Did a 580 mile round trip from liverpool to scotland to pick it up
Got told it had mot sorted all paperwork out gave me history mot had ran out two days ago deciding id come to far to leave without i decided to take the risk and buy it
Heres few pictures of how it stands i know its been around a bit
spec list:
2.0L 8v engine (logged as 1.4 up to new owner to change)
kent rally cam with vernier pulley (sounds amazing)
full custom made stainless steel exhaust
coilovers all round
k&n induction kit
fuel pressure regulator
2.0L brakes with braided brake lines
short shift
15" speedline alloys with nearly new tyres
steinmetz full bodykit
bad boy bonnet
full smoothed boot and petrol cap
irmscher grill
black morette headlights
whole underbody of the car has been undersealed with axle painted green
calipers and rear drums have been painted green
Few bad bits like theres paint flaking on the rear skirt and bumper has a mark on and bonnett is scratched
Went in for mot and failed on a cv boot, handbreak, need a cat,
Plans are to have it resprayed ford white at some point or have the body work touched up
fully stripped caged
when this lump gives up ill be investing in the 2.0 16v

Very nice mate. If its the same one a few people on this site used to own that, was an XE though iirc so maybe I'm thinking of a different car?

Braided brake hoses
Red dot brake fluid
Car will be going back in for mot on friday got a few pictures of how it currently stands since getting it back from scotland havnt had a chance to clean it as of yet
few ebay bits i orderd
momo wheel and boss
trying to get hold of a flocked dash
