Default 3 door cosworth with rs500 parts SOLD SOLD SOLD

here for sale is my 3 door, dont really want to sell it but since moving house and not having a garage or driveway anymore its just not getting used and is a shame for it to be sat gathering dust

ive owned it about 3 years now its a good clean car with genuine rs500 upper and lower spoilers, front bumper and front splitter which are worth 1000's on their own!

its never been welded nor does it need any and is all painted white underneath with the suspension parts powdercoated black

the car has been converted to 4x4 by the previous owner the shell has not been chopped or welded in anyway to do this conversion so can easily be restored back to 2wd if wanted, i never bothered as i loved the grip it gave in sun rain or snow lol

it has a 4x4 engine with 200 block which as we know is the better of the cosworth engines

the dash is uncracked but does have two tiny pinpricks in the top of it like something has been mounted to it at some point i will get some pics of it in the next day or so

it has no side mouldings on in the pictures as im waiting for them to arrive but will update pictures when they arrive in next couple of days.

the car drives spot on allthough the biting point on the clutch is a little low, it doesnt slip at all even when booted and for some reason has always been low since i fitted it last year (approx 1500 miles ago) i never bothered looking into why as like i say it works fine other than that

the gearbox has a quickshift fitted and goes in all gears fine but at motorway speeds in 5th does have a very very slight whine to it, its done this since i bought it and has done several trips to sant pod, donnington etc.. and never got any worse

the headlining could do with re trimming as it is sagging a bit in the middle

the seats are bang on with no worn bolsters, rips or fag burns

the car is hpi clear and has original panels and no accident damage allthough it was originally moonstone blue it has been repainted white before i bought it, its a proper job and was stripped to a bare shell to do so it was painted inside outside and underneath and still looks good tho has a few little stone chips as to be expected on a car of this age

if i think of anything else ill add it over the next week the spec is

engine;
4x4 engine
200 block
midly ported nick waples head (as told to me by previous owner, i have no reciepts or proof but when msd set it up they said this is possible as they had to add more fuel than normal for a stage 3 setup)
stage 3 rollerbearing 4x4 t3 turbo
4x4 inlet and exhaust manifolds
alloy rs500 style intercooler
silicone boost and upper and lower rad hoses
group a breather system with catch tank and aeroquip fittings
alloy swirl pot
alloy header tank
green injectors
stage 3 msd chip setup last year by msd
044 fuel pump with aeroquip tank adaptor
msd fan rewire kit
cw looms fuel pump rewire kit
all new engine gaskets last year, all uprated gaskets they are coated steel gaskets

body
all original panels
rs 500 front bumper
rs 500 upper whale tail
rs 500 lower spoiler
rs 500 front splitter
tickford badges on front wings

suspension
avo coilovers
fully polybushed
group a front strut top bushes

brakes
standard front and rear (surprisingly stops well)

wheels
standard x5 if being picky could do with wet flatting and re laquering but have no kerb marks and are fitted with yokohama tyres

mileage is about 76 thou and i am the 5th owner
dont have any service book with it but have reciepts from previous owner and some old mot's and tax discs plus i can print off reciepts for what i have spent on it since owning it as they are on my computer.

price is Ł14000 or nearest offer. i may take a px on a 2wd saff or mk1 focus rs up to the value of Ł6000

any questions pm me and ill answer you there or give you my mobile number and we can have a chat
