I guess the new baby with someone else forced the divorce too?

picking it up soon,

spoke to the owner and it does sound well built,

done by a race team at silverston,

talked to steve scott today and he said for the price i should not worry about it,

we will get it up on his ramp and check everything out,

any problems he can sort out no problem,

he has suggested putting my spare engine in allready, but at well over 500 bhp it would need new transmition allround or two wheel drive and a griper diff atleast.

he has quite a few,

but his original one was rolled and the shell was beyond repair.

he ended up doing the very nice little four wheel drive fiesta with even more power, than the old focus,

but his is building a few more focus shells up and may do one for himself,

his old white focus was very nice did not even have a cage in it, as it was done to look standard a true sleeper look,

I’m pretty sure I've seen this car somewhere before, I'll have a look and try and get some pictures up tomorrow if you'd like Martin?

hi martin, good result i was the under bidder!
the car was cheap, a couple of things need changing, i thought.
looks like they rushed to finish it.
i looked at it 3 week ago and am suprised he dropped,
that much.
never mind 6k extra to spend on my supra! regards...
