Default well, my car is fukked, and its getting stripped

i will pay stu the £20 in the next few days and list all parts in the for sale section.

i cant afford to fix it, and im fed up of slinging cash at it so its all going.

2.0l high comp, 42mm throttle bodies etc etc loads of stuf available

Don't be dis-heartened.

Buy a cheap xr2 with six months ticket for a couple of hundred which you could raise from flogging your wheels and swap your motor into it for a super fast trackday/street racer?

Solves your gearbox/PS rack/chassis rip/strut/wheel bearing prob in one go.

Dan,

Sale all the bits u got like wheels, interior, tunes body kit that sort of shite!

But keep the enigne/management etc. & buy a decent xr2 & whack it in there when u;ve got the time/cash!

Would b a fookin awesome lil track toy!

I even know of a good xr2 shell u could just have as long as u got a trailor as its totaly stripped bare!

u got a decent size garage @ the new place!?

Dan,

Don't be a knob jockey. Keep the engine and we'll find you something to stick it in. How else are you gonna get to work?

Do NOT put it into a coffin dodgem, they a bit your a writer for fast ford, keep it ford!
3door Focus, Fiesta, or maybe get a bit special and bash it in RWD form in a Mk1/2 Escy or summat.

Just not a kitcar/rollerskate type thing!

Careful Dan or youl be at Quay House in the basement with your knitting needles writing for Cross Stitch Monthly before you know it

Don't we all, dude but you won't be getting one with your sweatshop wage! You'll just have to drive around in shitters like the rest of us.

Forget the MkII Fez BTW, the ones round here are all filled with 2 tonnes of plop - and that's just to hold the bodykit on.
