i could be wrong but fairly sure the car belonged to a guy in romford/collier row who being young scrapped enuff to buy it and insure it but had no cash for repairs and spent a few months teariong it about until the engine melted as i was offered it a few months back by a guy at work who knew the guy that owned it


all looking good now though fella

marky_g

ive done a lot to her.

it came from basildon

and ive ad it since november

Dan what u think on having the inlet Powder coated black???? will it be roo much with a black cross over??????

marky_g

cossie nuts was ur car sprayed in wickford (rthe escort) think my old rep was deing done at the same time?

NEO™ŽŠ

erm that would be me......and i wast that young and i certainly had the money to repair it and the engine did not melt the only thing wrong when i sold the car was the fuel metering unit had packed up and i had lost heart in it so sold it to a fella from harlow and this was about a year ago now

deleted
