i didnt take much notice of the headlights, but yeah they look sh~ite,
apart from that i think it looks cool- it would be a different story if it had a 150 bhp engine in it, but at least its got big cossie power to back it up.

Confusion is something you dont need in life. Its not built by Harvey its built by Mark, hence the best bit. Hope that clears up your confusion

*Disclaimer: No need for any of the those that missed out on the tit when they were younger to get all wound up about my comments. Just a bit of light herated banter.

yeah i agree it is a bit steep, and probably will not be sold at 222k, but still pretty unusual one off.

To me that looks awesome, perhaps the front lights should be changed for standard, but just look at the back of it!
Not sure who would pay that for it, not saying i don't think it's worth it, but a limited market for sure, probs more 15k-20k and you'd have a lot more interest.

Its better than built by the best Rich, I did the wiring . Perhaps you should have said built by the man that builds the fastest Cossies it stops people getting confused .

You will need 6 months in the gym to work the clutch .

Indeed, this is the problem, even with all the spec, its still only a home brew special and I must admit much as I love it, if I was going to spend 22K on a cossie it would be an escort not a 205. And you can find as good if not better specs on an escort for that money.

It's up to 15k on ebay at the moment with 7 bids.
I quite like the look of it but as said would rather have an escos

I've done that and i still think the same. Fair enough i wouldn't want to pay that much but i'd still choose it over an escos i reckon, unless it was a serious spec escos.

yes they did all factory dimmas had a build number much like rs500's they were fitted at dimma and approved by peugeot and then sold brand new at peugeot dealers hence being called factory fitted
