Only reason for bailey tank is it was a real eBay bargain and couldn't let go lol still got old bottle won't sell it in case I want to swap around

Want to change the turbo cover for a standard escos one as not keen on carbon
Want all black under bonnet

As for box it was third and forth that blew apart lol so I bought a new box off gears up in Scotland as I needed it for ford fair so was push for a box and only had a week to sort it

As for mk2 frs would still like to try one but been seeing threads about them and prices dropping and had a look and have seen a few now for 18k
When I was looking there was none under 20k unless they had star ship mileage lo
