Cant believe the amount of people that stare at it as you drive past (Mainly 30 odd year old guys!)

When I was driving the Mini it was mainly 20 odd year old women who looked, Probably thought the car was "Cute"
Sounds like a step backwards to me mate  :lipsrsealed:


 :grin:

Tidy car, enjoy.

Not really when there is more profit in the Escort, The Mini had a few issues & I was struggling to sell it

Would like to find out what its running for when I sell it, All I know is that its a Zetec Bottom End Matched to the CVH Head, Its got Blue injectors (Dont know if they are standard?)

Samco hoses, Bailey Dump Valve, It pulls hard & boost kicks in quite low down so I think its on standard Turbo, Im presuming from the engine conversion & all the rest of the money thats been put into it then the previous owner would have had it Chipped at some point

Need to look into what its had done before I set a price, Seen some replicas in quite bad condition sell for around £3000 !!  :shocked:
