Default im a ford owner once again

well after my car accident and the extremley dull 306 was written off ive found my daily runner which is a little more interesting.its never gonna be a performance ford but im planning on doin a few subtle mods and keeping it clean. firstly i think im going to lower it 30mm and get a 3 inch rolled out back box (if thats possible) change the rims for some ford ones ( opions greatly recieved) and thats about it!

heres what the 306 looked like after flying over a ditch,hitting a post and ending up ontop of a electrical box

i suffered a broken back which im still recovering from.




apologies for the crap pics

well im up on my feet and as soon as i can get out of my back brace im gonna give the fez a damn good scrub up and polish

its by no means mint but its clean enough for me and i liked it for its orginality as it has had 3 lady owners from new,no holes,daggy filters or silly bits,original ford mats and stereo and 80k on the clock





the wheels were put on by the last lady as she had them as a present of her hubby.
ill post some more pics when i get rount to it

Fuck me that brings back memory's.

Had a blue si 7 years ago.
I put 16" mondeo wheels, set of springs, magnex & a filter.
Loved the little thing. Did lack a bit of power tho.

1600 or 1400? Needs the 16" mondeo rims and a good slamming.

Looks very nice!, would like an si myself.

How about some RS alloys, like on the RS1600 or RS200 one's?

yeah its hard to choose.

heres one of the main reasons i bought it

its as clean as a whistle and its oil is fresh too





not exactly racey but no need to be as its never gonna be a racer! just nice a clean and hopefully a good start for very light modification
