yes mate I was the high bidder on e bay at £3895 but the guy called me the day before I picked it up and said the big ends where gone I think he new this before he listed it to be honest but after a bit of haggling I got it for £2700 and went down and picked it up on my ifor williams at least I know the motor will be rite when it is done I think you had a lucky escape at £4.5k I am hoping to have it all sorted for that inc buying looks like you got a nice one

Default gold wheels

refurbed the wheels ford arizona gold I love the color looks great in the sunlight the camera dont do them justice and remember if we all did the same thing it would be a boring world looking for a set of coilovers but the money is going to spent rebuilding the motor first
