well update here -
after doing the new belt I done some shopping
new ST clutch, new clutch release bearing, new plugs, new filter, new oil, new gearbox oil (cup of tea is V important too
)
engine off stand, new clutch fitted
fit new clutch release bearing, clean up gearbox and inlet manifold and fit both, place in front of car and hope it jumps in on it's own
when that fails get mate over after work (cheers Mark
) and spend the evening putting engine back where it should be
da da
that done, connect lots of bits n bobs, fit new bits n bobs and turn key..................................
be very relieved when it starts straight away and sounds lovely and quiet, so i took it for a swift spin up my drive and it's fantastic in fact it drives a LOT better then V5
so I have spent some time cleaning it all properly ready for it;s new owner
pics taken today, shame it was so overcast as it's looks stunning
tucked back up waiting for it's new owner
so If anyones interested I'll be advertising it only here first as
A, I want it gone quick
B, you lot actually understand that ALL the exspensive stuff is done therefore can see what a bargain it is, so hopefully I can achieve A
basic stuff
FRP 191, Original LSD car
FSH (tremona and Ford mainly) with every reciept including the paper order that went round the factory denoting ST160 !
new brakes last year (the lot with very exspensive reciepts to prove, fitted by Tremona)
stainless manifold
cam belt just done (genuine ford)
clutch just done (genuine ford ST)
just serviced (all genuine ford used)
v good tyres all round lots of tread (toyo's on rear, parada's on front)
nice Private plate included (Little FRP
)
ported and polished Cylinder head
high end Clifford alarm with anti jack and full imobilzer that runs the window up on locking the car and has auto start
6006 6CD stereo
MOT runs out end of this month so going to stick a new one on, so will be 12 months MOT
it's a very tidy unabused car that drives perfect and has all the exspensive stuff done
now the downsides
both rear arch's have rust bubbles, not bad but both rear qtrs could do with being painted, front bumper has a little crack in it, rear tailgate has plugs where a spolier has been, spolier will come with the car (it's only a little one) so you can either refit it, leave plugs or get tailgate repaired to fill the holes
so apart from a little cosmetics it's fantastic
the price is I feel a cheap 4k absoluteley NO offers, I'll leave it here for a week or so before the Pistonheads EBay routeany questions let me know Glyn 07903 425698
