To be honest it really isnt worth getting rid, the money you have spent has gone anyway, no getting that back so if you cant afford to spend anymore on it at the mo then dont.

 

Leave it stuffed in the garage for a rainy day.

 

If you have some slimline fans i'm after some.

Otherwise as said above though, why not mothball it until after christmas? everything gets tight at this time of year mate.

 

thats what im thinking ..... but i sort of miss just having something like a focus rs to blast about in with no problems...

the parts ive listed are only the main bits the list just goes on .....

whats the running gear worth.....
i was thinking that i want £1000 for the bottom end or 1100 with clutch
head 500 complete with cam kit ect
gearbox £700... or 800 with clutch
vibratecnics mounts £70
full management with everything to just conect and use with leads plugs and dizzy inlet and injectors £700
airtech manifold £150
stage3 t34 with custom down pipe (use you rear box) £550
brand new front mount with fans £200 airtec
brand new radiator (airtec) £140

and then i will put it back to standard for about £500 lol

 

ive got brand new airtech rad and front mount with fans ect only done 10miles

 

dude, nearly had to do the same with mine

i was out of work for months and just looking at all the money i had sitting in the garage

luckily i managed to keep head above water for long enough til work picked up again

now i have it back and its running, i would of been gutted if i never finished it
so glad i did

sold a few things but only things that wouldnt make a difference to final spec

if you can put it away till you have the money to finish

 

Mate don't sell up, put it away and come back to it next year, only sell it when you have no other options as you will always regret it.

I would be up for the turbo if you really do start breaking it, but honestly it would be a shame,

Rob,

 

Be a huge shame m8 after everything you have done to it, i have only had my pulsar gtir after selling my series 2 about 6 weeks ago and i miss it already!!! just sell a few bits off it to tide you over and get it on the road m8

 

it would be a shame to sell it realy but we are thinking we want to get out of renting and buy a house so need to clear up some debts...

although i was thinking about just putting it back to standard and keeping it around 200bhp... but might just sell the t34 and greys and put back on a t3 sage3 with greens and then just get it out how it is

 

just sell engine box and turbo to get sum cash they can easly be replace when works all good again

 

B&M dibbbs lol i have money waiting.

 

Dont be a dick Mark!! lol just dont spend anymore money on it untill you can afford to! As said above just put a cover over her and get back to it when you have to money!!!

 

if you that hard up use it at a lower power level and get some cash out of the bits you don't need like gearbox, turbo, management etc and if you do sell box i'll give you what it ows you or do some deal with the box i got here same as yours minus the atb and a few quid

 

im thinking about just selling the turbo and the greys and getting a stage3 t3 and greens to finish it and free up some money for mapping and leave it at that ...

its just pissing me off not being able to use it , ive had it a year and drove it once so might just sell the rs1600i shell...

 

Dont do it unless you really have to, nice S1's are getting hard to find now and you wouldnt get one with the same condition/spec for the money you are selling it for should you want another in the future. If your that strapped sell some of the uprated bits and put standard stuff bk on.

 

tell me some more about the 16ishell??

 

its fully restored ... it used to be the president of the rsoc's car and i have all the history of when it was in rally news and the copie...

it is still used on some of the rsoc banners its fully restored and got 3 sratchs on the whole car from storage and only one needs sorting as the other two will be hiden behind the spoilers and decals...

its got loom full un etched glass including s1 opening quarters ..

front and rear screens are heated (very rare for a mk3)all wiring is there

its had the wiring added from a mk1 orion for electric mirrors (not ever fitted to mk3) just needs mk1 orion mirrors

its delocked but done very well

its had new wings / inners battery tray/ front panel/ crossmember/ and door skins and sills along with rear panel and this thing is bloody mint ...

serious offers welcome ... i paid quite alot by time i got it home and all the bits with it

 

colour please maet and PM me a ball park figure?

 

i was thinking to just put it back to standard and pay off some bills and then play with it at a later date...

but im not gunna start selling it unless someone wants the engine ...

 

mark do yourself a favour dont sell anything been there done that got the t shirt

stop spending and changing your spec

just bolt it back together and drive it

the first time it comes on boost it will all be worth it

as above just stop spending and wait

the money youve spent has gone so stop looking at your car as pound notes

TRUST ME

 

like everyone has said im gunna drop the spec and keep the car unless someone wants a mint standard s1 for say £5.5k ... fully restored with only a few little marks

 

Mate, I was out of work for nearly 7 months and i so nearly sold my S1. But i just managed to hang on to it so glad i did now as i would have been totally gutted.

Only sell it as a very last resort.

 

right fuck it check out the escort rs turbo section for details im keeping the car but selling the running gear....

 

its upto you mate, been looking forward to you finishing it, but needs must, its only a car at the end of the day

 

i know jonny lol im a night mare well im struggling with the gotech so that might stay and go on a normal engine as say 220bhp later and get most of my money back...

but some one has just offered me a good deal for the car.lol

anyway i know i will be able to replace it soon its just getting the loan for the house then i will just goin the agency for another company to make money ...

bloody thing if i can break it for the prices ive listed i will get nearly 10k when then cars gone and i couldnt sell finished for more than 7k lol
