Had this for for a while now but not touched it since last year.

Its a rolling shell, has interior & all the body panels but missing engine box etc.

I really wanted a doner car to build this back up with so managed to buy a rusty 4x4 from a friend, although mines a 2wd I knew I could use the 200 block & L8 ecu & then just source a gearbox etc.

So the plan is..

Tidy up around the body, needs an arch on the drivers side rear but others body is pretty rust free. Will require the spoiler & a few other bits painting but that's all I'll be doing for now as I want to drive this not look at it!!

Here's a few pictures of how it's sat now













Looking very sorry at the minute but hopefully get the arch welded in next week & begin stripping it down for abit of paint & polish.

I'll add more pictures as & when, not going to be a full resto thread or anywhere near but hopefully you can enjoy me put one of the rarer colour cars back on the road

 

Good luck with it mate,nice see them getting saved.

 

Cheers mate

 

Looks a clean good project. Must be rare too on an e plate. Well done for saving it.

 

It does look a bit sorry for itself. I hope all goes well. It needs the ambers back in toooooo.

 

I love an e reg car you never see many!

 

High up in my list are the ambers mate!

 

Cool matey.

 

This is the arch that needs replacing





Otherwise it's pretty good for an old saff!

Inner wings are good





Original Genuine ford wings

I think it's still in one piece
Don't think people realise how few mercury grey are actually left tbh

 

 

its funny when you see your old car a few years on in a sorry state. its a bit like seeing a stunning ex girlfriend and shes turned into a fat mess.

 

 

You used to own the car previously then fuzzy hahaha ????

Can I ask how long ago was it you had the car and you got any pics ???
Always interesting to see a cars history lol

 

I regret selling it but was easier in the end to sell up what I had & buy a running car

 

No ive not owned this car, my comment was meant generally not specifically about this car.
