Well, i need something with a bit more Ummmpthhhhfffff as te old pink thing couldnt get up a slight hill which would be on a motorway i would crawl up it at about 45mph :S ![]() ![]() ![]() And a bit more practical on the boot space with the buggy and my uncontrolable shopping habit! So up for sale went the escort cab, the mk3 fez and my princess wagon and i came across this .... ![]() ![]() ![]() At a 1.6 16v its pretty much what i needed .. mind it needs a few changes... slight mods... My PINK rs rims are going on it when i can be bothered to get the jack out !! But for a more practical family car its just what i was looking for.... I tried to detor away from a Ford as i was actually going for an Audi a3 .... But this Focus started calling mee!! And i couldnt exactly say no to a ford! |

If you are going to spray it pink take more time on the masking up on the front wind screen they have around nomal hard plastic with some soft rubber on to the body some times you can tape the soft part on to the screen so you get a better spray job done |

Whoever did that should have to pay to get it fixed then, not you |

I seen this before a manager at work took his car for a service at a ford main dealer and he ask if they could do the cam belt as it was like 56000 (The reason was the boss wife had the same problem which need the head rebuilt at a cost of 1300 pounds ) so he said do it they talk him out of it and then the belt snapped the new engine was like 4000 pounds but he end it up paying 2500 as it was them who talk him out of doing it still going on been 2 years so i feel that this could be the same problem it bent the con rods , so i am hoping i am wrong with your car unless the engine is taken a part you will not see this less hope i am wrong ![]() |
