Since selling the saff I've been itching for another old car as the focus rs just isn't the same as the old school cossie























It's been in storage since 2008 so it's getting a look over and hopefully should be mot'd and on the road by next weekend

 

Very nice indeed

 

Oh, that looks lovely, well done.

 

Very nice

 

Yummy my wife wants one too

 

looks nice..

you'll need to sort out those tie wraps on the CV boots as they will not stay in place.

 

looks expensive

 

Spot on chap - just put the dash, pedals and dials back to standard

 

Saw your post on Facebook, looks a good one mate

 

looks a goodun

 

All on the to do list chap I'm undecided whether to fit the spots lights though as I think I prefer them without

 

Spots, definitely

 

Nice one Bil, when I first saw this thread I thought granada turbo lol, nice S1 mate

 

Looks like a very nice one there

 

There might be a 24v supercharged mk2 granny appearing soon

 

Can't beat that for a motor, very nice mate

 

aha there you go

 

Nice one mate.

 

Lovely

 

Very clean matey. The mk2 grannny idea sounds interesting.

 

Lovely. Spots and black fuel cap required as well as the bits you mention. I'm going to be on the look out for a nice S1 to keep hold of soon.

 

Say no to spots!

 

nice car,looks in good condition.

 

Well done nice.

 

Very nice that!

 

Very nice

 

Sid told me u got this, looks real nice mate!

 

that looking nice

 

Very nice


Brian

 

Very nice! +1 on the spots for me too!

 

Oh my god it feels so bloody slow lol the 176bhp just isn't doing it for me

Just failed mot on osf dip beam (bulb), osf sidelight (plug off), rear lights have bad earth and emissions high. Just sorted everything except the emissions which they'll adjust when I take it back for retest.

I'm undecided wether to keep it or not now. It'll need a big hike in power and It's a bit too clean for what I want, a couple of mates already said "it won't look like that long with me having it"
I can't help it! I just prefer driving to polishing

 

I dont think I could go from a saff cossie to a Escort S1.

 

It's a lovely car Glenn but just not quick enough lol it drives lovely and even the gear linkage feels nice and tight and not like stirring porridge hahaha

Your saff looked lovely at ford fair bud I do love a white saff

 

mate thats one lovely s1 you have there looks better than most i have seen ..stunner that car is more of a investment so if you want more power you will ruin it lol your used to a nearly 400bhp saff ..ether take care of t or sell it someone that will lol because that wil be worth alot more later .. i have one and feel like putting 320hp through it at time because its so slow being standard ...but then i wont be selling it.. however i dont want to ruin the drive of it its smooth and tight.. big power loosens it up torque steer ..unreliability.. broken gearboxes etc so left it .. i do kill mine though when its out lol heres a pic

 

Exactly bud! I'd rather not fuck around with it. It's not standard but only minor mods like spax shocks, exhaust, chip and a few polished bits. It's got an updated Gears gearbox in it which should be good for around 250bhp also

 

just take car of it its worth alot

 

Already decided........ It's going

I need some rwd cossie power

 

Thanks for the comment on my saff matey. So the S1going eh lol.

 

The price I got it for I couldn't refuse it really and the fact I'd always wanted a s1 meant I had to buy it lol I was going to sell the focus rs and use the escort but I didn't expect it to be as clean as it is and I don't want to wreck it. I'll probably drive it for a month then sell it and get something rwd and some proper power for a toy and keep the focus for daily dutys

 

Theres no point in keeping it if its too good to use.
