GazSi Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 That looks alright actually. How's the bodywork?The rear arches have had a repair, its ok but seen better jobs, front bumper needs respraying as its matt, other than that its not too bad, just needs a really good buff up, just finding time with work and everytime i go to do it it rains That looks alright actually. How's the bodywork? Bit of a nail by looks of it... Gaz did you have a nice focus? What happened to that?the silverone, had a bump, no others involved, was on a country lane that was mossy on the corner, slid and hit the wall, repaird that and got a mondeo, but that gave me a world of trouble The wheels are being changed soon, as 17's on a escort ain't for me.

Egr pipe keeps splitting. But bar those when it wants to run right the turbo kick is immense when overtaking and leaving a cloudy soot behind.
