Dont mean to be rude but i don't belive that's got what you say in it, as you also don't know your mondeo's. Just saying what everyones thinking!

sorry i ment mk2 mondeo, it is verona model with a juice green paintwork, but has no clutch and the boot floor has rusted away. it is a 1800 16v zetec. it only has 100300 on the clock and has been looked after its whole life (am the second owner since new). The rover is a rag toy, for track days and stuff, I much prefer ma mk6 escort GHIA, in a deep shade of purple with an 1600 16v automatic zetec. Shame i haven't got any pics yet.

Thanks,It used to have a c20xe on a grp N chip! was good fun, and kept the standard gsi front bumper in that trim.

And ive never seen an official 'RULE' book which states how a sleeper must 100% look, although i'd say the kit car is kinda missing the point!?. From the front and rear to 99% of people my car looks like a clean nova with wheels and lowered suspension.

here some of my estate, clean ol bus and been using her a week now, apart from a overheating starter motor and split water pipe been brilliant, though now my clutch is slipping and flywheel grooved lol.






4" mongoose is a giveaway but the 2" magnex was far to restrictive, sounds awsome though

this week she'll have all 4 ford flaps, 4 paddle and new flywheel, 4 new tyres, tracking done and some uprated shocks, full service and belts, felpro headgasket and new sump gasket
