Default Anyone know this 3dr

Hi all just wondering if anyone knows this 3dr.

I quite like it and it seems to have the right bits but have been put off by the drivers wing in the engine bay picture. It doesn't seem to be sealed into the front panel and looks out of shape with a screw or something sticking up??

Also what wheels are on it?

At the end of the day it's a 1986 car it's going to of had some work on it over the years . I would say go and have a look at it in the flesh . And as to the wheels there called calibre there not split rims iv got them on my 3dr there about £800 with tyres on them

Thats what I thought.
But I also thought it was fully restored after it was removed.

No mention of roll age removal in listing either, if he not mentioned that what else is he not mentioning?

Default 3 door

i would take a guess at the screw thing being a hole from old alarm covered up
they are obviously not the original spoilers to the car but if genuine rs500 items-good to sell on and replace with cheaper 3 door stuff[ableit even the 3 door normal bumpers getting rare now]
one of my personal pet hates ids the fitting of bolt on strut braces-ok if you are going to repaint the inner wings anyway-but on an already restored car the holes are a pain to deal with-however each to their own..
on the face of it car looks fine-not gonna get a show winner for 25k in todays money
dont know if its still for sale but craig hayter had a nice white 3 door in dundee,never saw it in the flesh but pics looked good and it was a high spec engine etc-around 25k too iirc

Would be interesting to get some information form someone that might have seen the car or knows who restored it , it's been in performance ford October 2013 so someone bound to know who had it then !! Is Craig's 3dr the one with the gold compo's on it? Ment to be 500+ bhp??
