After anouther ford recommendations please
Hi Im after a new ford and was wondering if anybody could recommend anything I have around £1500 to spend (not much I know) looking for something to buy with decent bodywork then mod as i go my new job is only 15min from my house so fuel useage is not a massive issue. Im open to anything really aside from a Escort RS2000 or GTI as I have already had both of them. Ive been away from the ford scene for a while but would like to get back into it.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Had three Zetec S's and loved them, ok not exactly spec'd up but nippy and go kart handling with a throaty little repsonsive lump and decent styling.
Some do let their lumps go often at around 50k so make sure it has been well serviced as this seems to be the culprit. Rust is also an issue on them now.
pop onto www.zsoc.com as there are always loads for sale from dogs to minters.
