Well i have a 1800 zetec lump with box with only 43000 miles on it in the shed doing nothing. May use that, as for looks i just spoke to guy who has some RST bumpers and an XR3 spoiler.
Its an X reg car so one of the early ones too, i dont want to ruin her too much if you get what i mean.

Its very clean and solid too. The only bit of welding it has done is the battery tray (surprise surprise).
It was stored under a tarpaulin outside for 9 years too.

I've got a full early XR3 interior sat here with door cards, just needs a clean to be mint
No rips, tears or sags.
That with XR3 bumpers and spats etc ( I think Barry R is selling a set?) and a Zetec on 40's or a cvh turbo would be mint
