View Full Version : Picked up the BEAST!
Here she is, in all her £250 glory lol. Have to say, I was very surprised just how clean it is! Needs some TLC here and there, but appears to be mechanically sound. Reasonably grunty as well :)

looks good mr lee, but it does look like someone is trying to get out the spare wheel cover
LMAO!
The engine MAY be removed next year if funds pick up again, in favour of a V6 as i want a Van for work duties, so ill keep this for towing the Nove. For a 128k engine its farking faultless. The bay had blatantly never been washed and there was no oil anywhere :) Seems to be pretty damn good on fuel as well.
Needs a lick of paint here and there on the running boards and the spare wheel rack (theres a piece missing i need to source as well, on the LHS of the frame), the wheels will be rubbed down and painted black methinks as theyre completely fooked. Also needs bullbars and spotlights :)
You wanna swap for a 2.0 16v Mondeo on an R plate? :D
Looks nice that chap.
Ill give you £300 quid for it lol lol
BTW Regal used to have a LET SWB one :thumb:
Lets go.........OFF ROAD!!!!lol
Remember - get the sticker on "One life. Live it!"

I thought the compulsory sticker was 'if you can read this, please roll me back over' upside down on the back, or actually on the chassis? lol

Lee. Any chance you could measure the TB for me? Diameter of the throttle butterfly & also the distance apart the mounting holes are on it?
Cheers. Perhaps PM me the findings.
Looks a weapon of sorts anyway.
