£580, complete build, using the better selector forks and synchros, had done 200,000 miles though!!
Only issue with it was not going into 3rd gear if over about 3000rpm, plus a massive whine when cold in 5th gear.

I need mine doing as 3rd gear synchro is fucked.

Do I change just the synchro or get the whole box done?

Mines away to G.E.A.R.S at the minute. I wanted an exchange unit but they didnt have any on the shelf, so he's using my case and fitting a whole new gearset for £500.

Andy at G.E.A.R.S is a really helpful bloke. Turnaround is pretty quick too, within a week from getting picked up to getting it back.

Strange, as I dont think its a very complicated setup. Its probably more to do with parts. Andy at GEARS said they bought up a lot of the Ford T5 stock from various locations, and they also make the 5th gears in house.

Seems to know his stuff and was a load cheaper than CTS who wanted £750.
