Howdy from a newbie!
Thought it'd post something up to say 'fit like' as they say up here in Aberdeen. 
Been browsing on here for a wee while due to searching and finding a good 3 door for my mate.
Go easy on me when I say this, but am mailny into my VW's
and currently own a tweaked G60 Rallye in Graphite Metallic.
Even though I'm more a VW than a Fordy guy, really like the site with the banter, the resto jobs and generally the high spec of cars that are on here. Have a few mates that are cossie'd up and have been into them for years. Have always fancied a S2 and am keeping my eyes on the FS section for the future maybe... you never know
anywho,
Howdy

[quote="Stealth Bomber"]Out of interest how much can be done to tweak a G60???quote]
Have heard of getting 300-350 out of it not bad for a 1.8.
not sure what i'm running as I'm not quite finished yet, but hopefully should have everything (engine wise) on within this month
, then look at getting it down to Star Perforamce in fife for a full tune and on the rollers to see what it's putting out. 
Have bulit this up from scratch kinda thing, bought it from my mate who had popped it (mate that now has 3 door!
) and have put basically a new engine in with some little tweaks
