as above ^...

i personally wouldnt mate, over here that car would be worth around £400 and would probably get broken for spares, im sure there will be another in better order for similar money though, but thats just me.

yeah i also spotted that

anyways it's hard to buy RST in Poland so i think i'll stick to that

the car comes with the recaro seats (those mounted are from the car seen in one of photos - the guy thinks they are more comfortable than Recaros)

i have the lower front and rear bumper addons so i'll make it look nicer - btw those bumpers are from 1,3 or sth ?

i have 17" wheels with 225/45/17 but i dunno if they fit well so can swap for genuine 15" from s2 (no probem to find in Poland)...

i also noticed the power windows conversion, and rear seat from s1 but it's not a problem for me...

i'm wondering if the suspension is from RST or simple 1,3 cause that can be hard to get

good thing is that:

1. the car has genuine arches and skirts
2. stock RST bonnet
3. stock RST engine without any AGRO tuning
4. the car has no visible rust (yes i said NO RUST) - from the bottom it looks like almost new

I think i'll buy it and make something nice
It has to be daily driver so i will install a LPG set inside.
I won't regret it if it blows cause it's not real RST

The owner thinks that's a genuine RST so i need many arguments to prove he's wrong... He said to me 98% genuine RST so the price is still to come lower a lot

Post anything you can see to lower the price Maybe i missed something

yes i know that but that's in UK not PL

in Poland that's similar to miracle to find a 100% genuine RST...
and if you find one there are 2 possibilities:
1. it's all rusted like hell and it's not cheap at all
2. or it's mint and costs almost like cossie

that's a weird country that's why i'm getting out of here asap maybe UK? :P

That's a 1.3 bonus shell mate he's jus put a Rst lump in and a mix match interior.... But I can't comment on prices as Poland is way different to England! Knock him down anyway

ok another question...

i was looking for other interesting fords in Poland and i've found that:

http://otomoto.pl/ford-sierra-2-9-24...C13737520.html

i know the description is in polish but it's not important...
just look at pictures and tell me what the heck is that thing? was there a stock version of sierra with BOA COSSIE? it's a mix of sierras or any genuine version? despite it's not in mint condition i've started to like it and it could be nice when done well

paste comments...
