Built up motorsport shell I'm afraid far too many wrong parts the engine bay is a mess
If that engine has only 3000 then I'm a monkey's uncle

Sorry in geeky mood tonight but...
Not modifed yet has been de-locked has the wrong ford badge on the back in the wrong place, has the wrong engine bay stickers and in the wrong places (aircon sticker even thou it has no aircon and a asbestos sticker from a Fiesta lol)
Non re-opening windows, no sunroof, chrome rocker cover, what happened to the intercooler mounts? Fulda Tyres on a 3000mile Escos
Wrong turbo to airbox pipe, Painted cam cover.. etc

Who else can notice bits

The biggest laugh is that they want 20k for it! Wouldnt give 10k!

Apparently its got heated leather, and whys it got a plastic sill cover on the grill?!

Looks like its done 103k to me not 3k.....

it also has another throttle bracket (the escort has a bolt to hold the loom) and what looks like a -31 actuator...
has fixed rear windows and no sunroof so it can only be a motorsport shell
I would'nt buy it (even if it the steering wheel was on the correct side )

Well if everyone's having a go I mite aswell too, the engine lifting bracket at the front of the engine looks a bit bent outta shape as if it may have been used at some point maybe I know I'm scraping the barrel a bit here but all the "obvious" one's have gone
