Naylor2006 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Didn't it crumble away on the drive? People are gonna think I've dragged this up for a laugh but I genuinely haven't. The actual base car was an immaculate 130bhp ghia wasn't it? Never seemed to mention where it went, then suddenly mondeos.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevmo3691 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) started as a 115 1.8 ghia x but it started to develop too many problems:Crank shaft oil seal leak causing contamination of the flywheel handbrake cable stretched to buggeryshocks destroyed by wrong lowering springs (was told 30mm drop)play in gear linkage getting worse and being rear ended by my dad in my new car did not help matters http://i0.tagstat.com/image05/8/520f/00cQ001O58f.jpghttp://i0.tagstat.com/image06/8/520f/00cP001O58f.jpghttp://i1.tagstat.com/image06/8/520f/00cO001O58f.jpg towed away following day, about an hour before I sold the blue mondeo as well Although may sort of be returning to escorts - I still have fair few bits for them and my other half needs a new car and theres a couple of nice looking late model 1.6's on ebay atm Didn't it crumble away on the drive? People are gonna think I've dragged this up for a laugh but I genuinely haven't. The actual base car was an immaculate 130bhp ghia wasn't it? Never seemed to mention where it went, then suddenly mondeos.... also it was far from immaculate. It failed MOT shortly after I got it on chasis rot, corroded brake pipe and damaged brake hose. fixed all that but rear arches were rusted, dad attempted a repair while I was working and neither of us are brilliant at body work so on 1 quarter there was orange peel and other was flatted back and as rust came back, never dealt with. The rubstrips had paint peel, the wing mirror casings had faded in colour, front bumper had nasty scuff where dipstick in a passat reversed into me while in mc donalds drive thru, rust spots of roof skin and outer sill started (that was rubbed back, treated and coated with underseal as was going to cover with skirts which I still have and will fit to the missus one of thats what we get) Edited January 18, 2012 by stevmo3691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naylor2006 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Oh well I got my answer, was interested because when I'm a bit bored some nights I find a new progress thread to go through and I got round to this one and after 30 pages was curious about two things, one of which was where was the motor now.
