Hi

Nice colour.

Not sure about those wing mirrors and those clear rear lights.

Imo the wing mirrors look better if they are the originals colour coded and the smoked xr2i rear lights.

The Reason the so called 0-60 time is so slow is that :-

You had a car full of people.

You have an exhaust larger than a deep pan pizza

Is the Engine a CVH or a Zetec

Valve oil seals springs to mind.

How many miles has the engine done not the car.

Were the brakes uprated as well as the suspension

Found out the piston rings are on the way out :'(

any one got a escort 1.6 16v efi zetec engine they would swop for a gaming pc ???

Hi smokey86.

I live just up the road from you. does sid dennis have anything in?

Shame, I had a 1.6 zetec last year and sold it for £150 with 11 months MOT. Engine was spot on but the rest was knackered.
