Dont know, but I like the optimism about the engine he has to go on about "it was a good engine" when he just said the crank has fallen out of it, its like me selling a pile of broken glass and saying "it was a nice vase"


And this bit is a classic:
The picture of the Grey Escort is how mine will look when the Seat lights have been fitted (custom 1 of job)
Well its not going to be one off then on your car is it you cunt

Nah, im sure keep throwing bottom ends bought for 50 quid and a stage 3 T3/T34 (which it actually is, lol) with no actuator pipe together with a random chip isnt part of the problem at all now I think about it a bit more, apologies

This car is a very good example of an old Xr3i. I have put a buy it now price of 2000 as it would be worth more than that in parts.
