Time has come to move on. I've learned a lot from the car and from everyone on here. So it's time to sell my little cat.
Coming up for 114000 miles. Looking for £395. Collection from Coventry area.
The good:
MOT until end of November 2016.
4 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres with about 8000mi on.
Heated screen working bar some wires on driver's side.
Everything electrical works, apart fro. The CD player (radio is fine!).
I have the remote key and the spare.
In the 2 years I've owned it the following has been done:
New Ford clutch
New Ford cambelt and water pump
Iridium spark plugs
K&N panel air filter
New Ford rocker cover gasket
MAF cleaned
New OE exhaust Lambda sensor fitted.
One new rear drum and bearing.
3 oils changes with Ford Formula F 5W30 and Ford filter. Latest one in the last 2 months.
Purple Powerflex anti roll bar bushes
Ford rear bushes
Delphi front wishbones fitted with original Ford ones available should you wish to fit new bushes.
New Ford Heater control valve fitted and control panel replaced.
Aircon recharged and working
New Sachs front shocks
HEL braided hoses front and rear and some new pipes.
Arch and sill corrosion attacked from inside and inside rear arches.
Alloys in generally good condition for the age.
Work I haven't done myself has been done by Ford Specialist in Nuneaton.
The bad
Rear arches in need of sorting out. Bubbling has started on both sides.
Some welding needed on the sills
Bubbling at the bottom rear of both door sills.
Ding on leading edge of bonnet.
Scratches on driver's side.
Other stuff
Line in connection box fitted.
I'm seeing 36-38mpg per tank measured. Emissions described as 'really good' at each MOT (after the Lambda was swapped).
Paintwork corrected a bit on front wings and roof.
In conclusion this one would probably make a good start for a track car, or maybe an engine transplant donor. The engine is very good for the mileage. It's the body that needs some love.
There's some photos on the project thread. I haven't got any current ones as she desperately needs a bath.
