Default Looking

Iv'e had a 2005 blob running around 330 / 330 and found it to be a
great car but couldn't get used to a 4 door car.No disrespect to all
4 door owners.I just like 2 door cars.

I am used to fast fords and that is all i have had for 30 years,except
for 2005 blob.My last ford was a MK1 focus running around 330 / 340.
This car stood me around 22K and i got 14k for it when i sold it.
I know what the modding bug is like,your heart rules the mind and
we pour thousands £'s into them only to find out that you have to
break them to recoupe the money you put into them.

So here we go i am looking for a 2 door scooby.I would prefer low owners,
lowish milage,good history and good power 350/350+.I know it's a big
wish list but have a Fair budget for the right car.I am not prepared to
say exactly what my budget is,because sellers will just come and say thats
what their car would be for sale at.I will say that i will go double figures for the right car

I have seen some nice cars in the for sale section but as i have said a lot of money
spent on modding and the owners are rightly trying to get as much back as possible.

Any help would be greatly received.

I like to buy off an owners sites to hopefully confirm that the car is
a good one.You can read the sellers previous posts and get good
and honest veiws on the car.Like all performance cars it can be a lottery
and i beleive the better cars will be on a owners club.

I will not disregard piston heads or any other route.
Thanks for the reply though.

It looks like youve took her to the next level there.I spent most of my
time under the bonnet.Looks like the body and wheels do the engine bay
justice.Well done.She looks great.

Yeh a possible nice 2 door i think.
If i end up with one,we may meet at the odd show.

Again she looks great,bet it's even nicer in the flesh.

Cheers mate, the engine bay still sparkles - I've kept on top of it

Changed suspension for coilovers, CDF ARBs and droplinks, superpro roll centre kit, full decat and Mr Carr has mapped it again.

Also fitted hawkeye dials and converted all the green LEDs to red on the interior, so been busy!

Yes very busy,don't be spending too much money on her unless she's a keeper.
Good luck.
