think the most you would get for it is £350 in my opinion and that is if someone wants it list it on ebay see what it makes mate.Probabley get alot more if it was taxed moted and had the v5.But thats just puting time and money in it.

Just read your eBay description, and ffs you really can be a pleb...

"Ive just put a cherrybomb back box on the car so it does sound really really nice."

I mean seriously, do you never learn? is it the same cherrybomb butchered on the old Fiesta system?

"Ford RS wheels 4 spoke, never seen these before"

Did you never watch Sesame Street as a lad? Because them wheels have 5 spokes

Please do not paint the rocker cover or calipers before you sell it

You can paypal me my commission

i still cant belive you put a fucking cherry bomb on a car that youve said :

Due to this i dont have the V5 logbook or any other documents for the car. so selling the complete car for spares only.


why not apply for logbook etc then people will be more likely to buy it? nobody is going to want to pay decent money for a car that youve said can only be used for spares
and why put the cherry bomb on it if it cant be used in its current state? waste of time..

why not give the lad some slack! maybe he cant be arsed waiting around for the dvla etc etc and just wants it shifted. even with a v5 it wont be worth a great deal. do what makes you happy. i think your cars are gash but if your happy thats the main thing buddy!

i suggest you remove that link before the mods remove your thread, i got an infraction last time, was only asking for advice

And just to add;

Somebody asked
could you apply for a v5 from the dvla as the original has gone missing ?

You replied
Im guessing so yes, for the not I've had a look underneath all really I can see it needing is 2 front bottom arms and front discs and pads also securing exhaust at the back, rear brakes seem spot on so does the hand brake
Fair enough if they cherry bomb go's then you wont be able to stick it back on 'MK2 FEZZY' but why oh why stick it on this knowing full well its not secure!?

Well here it is, looks a mess on top of my broken lawn mower, its very fecking heavy but had no other way to get in my shed.

I went on a 340 mile round trip down to near ipswich on Saturday night and went in the fiesta and it was perfect there and back didn't miss a beat, this 957cc engine is invinsible after 5 months and around 8000 miles of abuse, meaning wheel spin starts at every junction and getting ragged and high revving with a few long journeys and its never broken down


It came with all of this, every thing needed to do the conversion apart from maybe 1 or 2 coolant hoses and also need a new radiator as the one in the pic is fooked.
Before i bolt this stuff back on im gonna spray and paint a few bits, underneath the car aswell, the engine has been painted by the previous owner with high temp enamel paint and the engine has also had alot of work such as:
32/34 DFT square top carb w/ almost new fuel pump. Carb recently rebuilt.
Hemi head
Rebuilt with new head gasket, sump gasket, inlet and exhaust gaskets and Cambelt. New water pump
Later and better dizzy
Brand new genuine ford red ht leads
Brand new genuine ford spark plugs
K&N filter
came with a new clutch aswell


So this is my shed (my home for a few nights a week)


Started with the downpipe with high temp paint.(if u dont like it then please don't even bother commenting, its my car and want it to be slightly different so gonna paint the axle, tie bars stuff like that to make all red)

I may need so advice on which pipe goes where like on top of the thermostat housing where does that pipe go?


Where the frig do these brackets go? ill have to buy a cvh manual.

This is how people are killed in avoidable stupid accidents.
