I will be taking the engines out of the Sierra`s so maybe selling them on, they are all brand new so if anyone is after a brand new Sierra model (boxed) let me know, (1black, 1 white)
Think I will modify the Blue Capri lol
How much for the white Sierra posted please.

Im 23 and drive a 2007 Focus ST3 3dr in Sea Grey. Only mods are colour coded fog light surrounds front & rear.

Passed test age 17 (nov 03) then 2 months later got my '99 T Focus 1.6 zetec 5dr for my 18th (9th jan). Bought a 1.8 Focus Collection 3dr in Dec 06 as a 21st birthday pressie to myself. Didnt sell the old 1.6 till end Jan 07, so for 6 weeks I had 2 cars. Had that for 18 months but as I commuted about 45 miles a day I bought a 2006 Mondeo ST TDCi. Had is rolling roaded @ 160bhp (145bhp wheels i think) & 300ft.lb torque with no mods. Thought aged 22 that its an odd choice of car. Wanted to add bluefin, eibachs & 19" rims. Never did as in Oct 08, got a new job so commute is now 7.5 miles there and back. So after a year, I sold the Mondeo to dad & part-x'd his 2002 Focus Ghia TDCi 115 in against my Focus ST in May 09. So had the Focus ST about 7 months and done just over 2k miles. Well worth the 4.5 hour trip from South Devon to Wrexham for it. Was only 1 of 2 for sale I could find. I was fussy, had to be a ST3 3dr, sea grey, low miles (21k on a 07reg is ok) and have smoked xenons.

As you can see, have modified them all a little. Want some different rims for the Focus ST, just cant decide what. Have a few ones i like espically the BBS CK & Focus RS mk2s.

if you do that, reserve a capri engine for me, it'd save me making an engine and it not being up to scratch. just pm me what you want for one if you do

Some of your models are amazing. I'm in awe of some of these. I could have had a lot myself, as when I was a child I had all the best models my Dad use to pick up at auctions. I had a row of about 5 Escos's at one point. The one where the whale tail could clip out. Sadly, over the years I didn't look after them and didn't realise how much I'd appreciate them when I was older.

I used to put Talcing Powder all over the carpet and drive through it, and see how dirty I could get it. I used to have a Wagon to with all my classic cars on, but again none of them were looked after and either cut in half or painted with tip ex and then binned. Nevermind, lol... I was only a child.

depends on how smooth the primmer has gone on,to get a good finish on a car is to do good prop work.

that shit that is mate.i would'nt try sprayin that tho as silver is the worse colour to match,even professionals do a shit job,my mums mondeo is silver & the colour match isnt very good & thats by a very good garage.
it dos'nt look to bad tbh,most of it will polish out as it looks like white paint of the other car
if there is any scratch's just touch it up with a paint pen to stop it goin rusty.
