After taking the car for it's mot and driving it for the first time I realised the starter was heating up really bad and the car was failing to start when hot so with a bit of advice from guys on here I purchased a transit connect starter motor which should be with me quite soon!

i think its an 'all white' model which were later run out cars

deffo not a all white if it was should have brown dash & door cards , white seats & white roof

White roof, light grey leather 90 spec recaros with recaro stitched, 14ins cossie style wheels, full electrics including roof and fuel comp, white toneu cover, green bumper inserts cant think of anything else but it's not really special, recon it was to shift the white cabrios

Mine is a f reg on mfi but been told they was mainly made with efi but I ripped it out and fitted omex management and steel cvh that I then sold to Buy a cossie lol. Kept the car though for some reason

I can't link to photobucket as I got a gay iPad and won't allow
For some reason t copy the link

Mine now has a blue mohair roof as the white one was fooked, they also never came with west body kit either, the cabrio rs kis as a option was the shitty one that goes half way up the arches

Think I'll look for some hubs and start working on my shed lol

Bought a fiesta turbo block this morning so the plan over winter is to whip the head off my efi engine and bolt it onto the block and slot it back in once my brother has painted the engine bay!
