Swapped it today for my Fiesta.. Rougher than it looked in the pictures but I can see me spraying it satin black before it hits the road.. He had already sold the 10's he delivered it on.. for £35!! whoever bought them had a very cheap set of Revos.. First job was to debumper it haha! It come with a 1275 and a 1098 along with a boot full of spares.. I shall be selling the 1275 but I'll put the 1098 in... 1275 1098 Bits from the boot Will have to borrow an engine hoist to get it in and probably have a hand off someone to get it in.. Few reciepts with it too one for £450 for retrimming the seats and the best bit.. 7.5" cooper disks and ally calipers What y'all think?

Well the Fiesta owed me less than a grand.. so not a bad deal I'd say.. Considering I could get a couple of hundred for the engine.. No rust really to speak of.. Doors could do with re-skinning but thats about it.. Definitely needs a spray though :/ so I think satin black maybe a plan.. Thinking of changing the indicator/sidelight units.. look a bit bulky?

Thats a good classic interior, I'd keep it that way if it were you. Have you thought about restoring it to its original looks with a shiney paint job instead of the matt black look I'm not a lover of the matt look I'm afraid. jd

Yeah I really like the interior.. better driving position than my last one too!
Ah, well.. Im not fussed on standard looking clubby's I prefer the meaner look.. and as I cant really afford a tidy paintjob I thought satin wouldnt look to bad.. looks much better than matt

Looks good to me.
If you get wipac lights they have the side lights built in which means you can just source some nice indicator units
