Martin you've shown what you can achieve with the 2nd reyland escort why not give the mondeo the same chance too.

EXACTLY!....This place just doesn't understand sensible business, surely the likes of you and mark shead(to name a few of the highly reputable tuners that haven't or won't again sign up in here!) can only BRING IN viewers(HITS) to this site with your car/s or builds....this place lost the plot along time ago IMO...even some the old skool in here jumped on the Modding boat and forgot what made this place good.

Oh,and i hope you will build a monster spec for the car,it bloody well desreves it!!

Now if you had mentioned that your Mondeo was fitted with an ultra space aged(NASSA certified) magnetic sump plug and it was insured with Compare car insures best deal and the car was polished every weekend with Polished Bliss' most finest products and that you had promised to sign up for 99999 years worth of traders fees,your original post may have survived here in GD Martin

Well if you are definately not selling it then you have 2 options:

Stick some flowers in it and use it as a novelty plant pot

Put an engine in it

You need to make a 200mph comfy cruiser. Rival the new M5. Be the first to do 200mph five up with a dog in the car.

Build it back up again, but go for something different than a YB.

LS2 Twin Turbo 1000BHP?

It smashed everything in its first incarnation....and as its a mondeo it was that little bit different

Even now its still that little bit different so show everyone it can still abuse the opposition!

Seriously though, even if you deceid not to carry on with the build, dont scrap it, shuv it in a corner or sell it on so it can live again!
