£24,000 ON A PRIVATE PLATE.

jaiscossie

what a waste your better off letting someone else spend all the money and buy one already done!

xr2i-carl

yes but buying one that already done will cost more on initial outlay and if they have skimped on it and not done it properly it will cost you more in the long run cuz it will all need doing again

aprrox £4500 on engine
£400 suspention
£350 magnex
£890 wheels
£800 brakes
£4200 on rebuild (thats the labour) not including parts(panels etc)
The car is still in the f..k..g garage, and still requires about £1500 spent on it to get it on the road.

Any offers for it once complete?
May sell it to get power upgrade for the focus.(Yes i'm insane)

Efe, Dan cossie always told me you spent silly money on that car. I remember when i was with him and saw yours parked up at the beckton cruise, looked through the drivers window at about 4 defi's, a stack dash, a Pioneer Avic and quickly added it up to more than my cars worth

Ive spent around 5k on my Zetec Turbo XR2
