Righto, as you all know my hunt for a mint phase 3 HDi was an epic failure, with so few still about (I pressume most are broken?) I ended up buying a bloody Ford of all things.
It's grey. It's an exciting grey though; Magnum Grey to be specific. So that's a little bit cool?
This example is particularly mint. The 'Sport' spec TDCi is actually pretty hard to come by, because they're basically an ST170 with a diesel engine (they also lose the climate control - boo). This 2 owner car from new was first owned by a Ford mechanic and then by a guy who kept it in a dry warm garage, so it's pretty mint underneath even. Bodywork is sweet, with only one scratch I can find on it and a smudge of lacquer peal on the front bumper (bummer).

Plans are-
Keep it simple. Bought this to save money so don't want to spend what I save on modifying it - that defeats the point!
- Lower on a set of springs
- ST170 headlights
- Maybe obtain a nicer front upper grille
- Put my double-din Headunit in
- Hook up the OEM trip computer (big job this as the retro-fit plugs aren't present on my car!)
- Fit the factory spoiler which my car lacks
Thoughts / comments welcome.
