Default Performance Ford featured Escos-might break

Thinking about another project so may have to break this one.It's featured in the latest mag and has many good parts.I would need a commitment on the shell to go ahead.Shell has only done 11k miles and was brand new in 97 and has the sunroof fitted.Engine is basically Martin's famous Gumball motor but with my ancills and the gearbox is a 909 Sport box with straight cut 1st gear.Many other good parts on this car.PM me if you have any interest.

Cos it's the only way to get a reasonable return back.The engine,with it's 8 injector set up and ecu,coupled with the gearbox stand me at almost 15K.The shell was 7 grand.Now i realise i will have to take a hit but most people dont even want to pay 15k for the whole car.If anyone comes in with something sensible i would look at various options plus or minus parts.

I understand that the only way to get your money back on high spec cars are to break them but after only 11k miles?

Not a dig just wondering

Cheers Jon,would only break though if the shell was going.Love the motor though and might still keep that as it could well end up in the new project,just dont ask what it is.
