So does that mean it's still technically on the register then, even though it's been fixed into a cossie now?

Bargain at 10500 IMHO!

He mentions its a Cat D in the advert
Had to at that bit though.

"slightly"

carlo

Im sure when andys other mate had this car it had a fancy rear diff in it thats not mentioned cant quite remember what it was.They were going to take it to ford fair & the diff blew andy had a good one lying about so it was fitted.

rog

iTrader: (2)

Fair dooz it was just a general question as i wasn't sure if the Cat D still applied or not (never crashed a car before) after the mods were done. Looks like a nice car, cosworth appeal but modern and without the rust

COCHYN

Hey Carlo, you never told me you had a Focus Cossie build going at one point...you kicking yourself yet? xxx

alan12112

Nice car!!

Would be looking at something like this if my car sells this week

But then again if i'm gonna speng this much money on something cosworth powered i'd prob want an escos so I wouldn't be as worried about depreciation

COCHYN

Yeah...like they're selling for what they're worth

You spend Ł10.5k on an Escos, you get a dog. At least with a FoCos you get something relatively new that's rare and sought after

carlo

Cocknose yeah it was being built the exact same time as your one ended up selling it to andrew unfinnished with everything to complete andy's mate nige bought it from him & sold it on. I broke a very nice moonstone saph to build this car

COCHYN

Buy it then! Swap the Focus RS for it, worth the same....but you get a lot more car if you do. Finish what you started, despite having nothing much left to do. Its got a Cossie engine and its a proper RS shell...its a proper RS!

sparticus1

sweet car. need to get money now for a car!!

wish mine looked like that
very nce better than an escort cossie if you ask me

COCHYN

Don't worry fella, keep at yours and don't loose heart and it will be better...coz its yours I look forward to seeing yours finished, then the Focus Cossie crew can go out playing somewhere

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Neil paul yes it is

Neil@FastFord

Say what you see Carlo!

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Just to ad with this car its full quarters that are fiberglass but they are perfect in every way they were supplied by m sport the same quarters that were made for the launch of the focus rs for the motorshows.. So i wouldnt let that put you off when i had it it hadnt cracked or that & that was 5 years ago.They had been on the shell for a few year before that

S1rst

It does look nice in the add, but ill never understand why someone would start a project like this with a cat d shell, then throw bucket loads of cash at it. Surely it would be better and not cost much more money to start with a clean straight shell.

COCHYN

Neil and Carlo, bunch of cu*ts

dingla rs

iTrader: (2)

my shell was damaged who cares id love you come tell me witch part was bent ,iv always had cat d cars, repaired quite a few me self dont get ya point there,think most off them been done from damaged shells

S1rst

My point is, i dont see the point in using a damaged cat d shell when for a bit extra you could use a straight clear car, that will always be worth much more.

carlo

iTrader: (4)

What does it matter if the shell is damaged its getting cut up anyway so its never going to be original again. Plus the fact when this shell was built it was 5 or just over years ago the mk1 focus 3 doors were fetching very good money at the time too much to buy & cut up plus throw the full interior away as well.So cat d car's were perfect.

michael harbour

get it bought carlo.......................................

carlo

iTrader: (4)

No money mate plus i was out in a E60 M5 today for a while & want one only thing stopping me is i havent got the money

COCHYN

Wise words from the man above, makes a lot of sense. No second guessing which would be worth the most in future between a Focus Cossie and a FRS

carlo

iTrader: (4)

There is no point in me ever buying a cossie again all i want to do is buy stuff for them & spend everything on them

COCHYN

And the problem is?

S1rst

Fair point if it was built all that time ago mate, as im sure it would have saved lots of money back then. Im just looking at it here and now, and for probably Ł500 (ish) more you could do the same with a clear shell. Still, if you want one, then im sure many people wont be bothered as theres not exactly loads to choose from.

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Im sick wasting money on them

dingla rs

iTrader: (2)

point being i got a 04 shell cheap front end damage woulda payed a lot more for straight shell +,i didnt want interior or the panels as i going for rs look so woulda been waste money ,in the long run is got a cossie in it who cares if it been damaged

russellsmith
