Default Woohoo, Pick my Esc Cos up today. ( At last!! )

Finally picking it up today, looked at it just over a week ago when the bloke had just had the bonnet and bumper painted due to stone chips and the side skirts due to slight scuffs where you get in and out, he also had the whole front wings done rather than just get the tops blown in tomatch the bonnet but the body shop had run the mop to hard on the corner of the wings where the bonned gap is and taken most of the paint off and had not put enough paint onto the tops of the skirts.
Anyway, agreed on a price of 16k with the paint re done but the bodyshop have been putting him off for a week with all sorts of excuses so yesterday, i called him, offered him 15k and i'll get it done, he agreed
My mate who painted my fiesta quoted £450 to re do the whole lot if needed so i'm actually up!!

Spec is
1993 so big turbo,
Gloss Black ( 1 of 100!! )
Leather, no a/c
standard except 18" Masitaly 5 spokes
Morrettes
Playstation 2, screen and Mp3 headunit!!

So i just need a leccy sunroof motor if anyone has one please!

Bits to go on so far are Koni's and Ahmed springs, white Mo's should be here in a week!!

Cant bloody wait

Gadget,

Nice one mate ...............The gloss black was listed a "special order" option. You sure don't see too many around as most of the 100 made were LHD export models

Will be visiting Grove in a week or so, I may get a chance to look at it

Gadget, if it's completely std put some some front polybushes in too, it'll make a big difference from the crap Ford ones (but you probably know that anyway).
