I used to own this car sold it unfinnished to andrews mate then its been sold on a few times scince then! Its £1500 cheaper than the one in cars for sale & a better car imho! Welded diff aint a problem cost you £150-200 for a standard diff. Dont know who has the car now its got full focus rs interior as well looks the part.

doesnt take much to weld a diff tho so that should effect the price at all....well id want a lil money off as its more of a inconvinientcy lol..

seems a good price for a lot of car, would surely cost nearly double to recreate??? would one assume its been proper abused having the welded diff; drift king etc...

The shell was finnished & i ran out of intrest! andys mate bought it then finnished it with all the running gear out my 2wd saph had it a short time & sold it for something crazy like 16 grand & a subaru as well or there abouts.Then i heard another mate of andrews had it & had just rebuilt the engine ect. Not sure about the rear diff i know the car was meant to be going to ford fair & the rear diff went bang so a fancy rear diff was fitted a plated one i think. This could still be in it & the current owner is getting mixed up or someone has taken the good diff out either way all the hard work is done to this car be a good car/project for someone

well I've noticed this bit...just makes me a bit suspicious.."I have the new keeper part of v5 only."
Just seem's weird he's spent a fortune on the car..so he must of had it a while..long enough to have the full V5 log book...they dont take very long to get back from the DVLA..so why doesn't he had the whole V5..??? dodgy to me...but thats me..lololol

I suspect the turbo wont last long if its genuinely got 400ish bhp on a T34

Also the Focus RS seat was never officially rated to take proper harness' only the gay boy racer ones with a high rear mounting on C pillar. The hole in seat isnt even big enough for those 3" belts by the look of it

But other than that looks like a nice car.

Its cheap for a reason. Looks abit shit to be fair and who spends all that money on a car to finish it off with a shitty welded diff... Alarms should be ringing.

i had 1x email back today and it said this bear in mind ive sent 3x emails

"Hi mate MOT till next month. Can tax at extra cost. Loads of messages to get through. Sorry"

still no phone number from seller but he has good ratings "feedback"???

i dont know what to think.. either very thick or hiding something i have the money to get it but being messed about really puts me off i am prepared to drive up 500 miles to view, you would think there would be some urgency to respond lol
