What engine does it currently have.??

[Dominic22]

posted this also, it seems like even one the 18000 miles has been hard. It certainly has been in the wars in its life....not sure about the wheels or tyres.

really sorry to see this.

:cool:

[T16]

I cant access that link....

Can someone post up any decent information?

Whats the previous accident damage?

I don't mind taking this on, as long as I know exactly whats what..

The engine has been breathed on? Its not standard?

[greeners]

Needs a fair bit
Rear seat belts (x3)
Front pretensioners
Both air bags
T4 session to re write the crash data in the Air Bag ECU
Windscreen
Bumper (expensive)
Bonnet
Slampanel
Headlight (expensive and hard to get)
Wing
Allow for
Rad and fan assembly
Condensor
wing

Paintwork

Unlikely to be engine damage as there is a big gap in the front of the engine bay

If you search on Stal108's posts, it's a standard engine as he took the S/C off

Didn't the rousch go pop?

OPS I DID IT AGAIN

Well on the way home this morning a little rain rwd v8 engine a laps in talent and a lampost all came together. As result i have to sell as is.

Damage

Still drives starts fine .I am unable to lift bonnet but the wings are ok the rad has lost water but not sure if it rad or a pipe . So take it as the rad and it is a bonus if it is something else .I think front panel bonnet n/s headlight ,bumper( I have one of the late big grill bumpers can go with it) I was going sideways around a roundabout for a little fun and it went pair shaped and i hit a lampost head on passanger airbag went off and has cracked the screen.Easy repair. fun rwd car or a track car? rare loos good nice car.



Car history

Was bought new by a soliciter who had it vadalised and as a result was recorded cat c 28 feb 2006 it was new 14/3/05 so less than a year old. I have the report.Then sold salvage and repaired by a chap in coventry for what ever reason only used it for 1 year. I bought it with no mot or tax with12000 mile . The repair( panel damage only no impact damage all glass lights etc)Now 18 k. Not in perfect condition but it is 6 years old.

I taxed and moted it for a year so tax is due end of sept mot early oct. So short but wont pass as is lol.

Offers welcome reserve is £2500 so if you offer less there will be no reply.

Slightly beyond T-Cut I'd say

Still £2,500 for a Roush engine (WR sourced I think) and the 19" alloys is not bad.
Sell the rest and break even.

If it was me I'd break it and sell in parts if there's no intention of repairing.
Shame it is yet another one off the road though

We think it is the original engine, Mileage unknown.

You may be right, charger has been on ebay. To be replaced by a 600HP modified S/C Ford unit according the ebay listing
Wonder if that ever materialised :)

[Customs Inc]

Looks like and easy repair and I have most of the bits to repair it into the car I'm wanting so I'll have a bid and see what happens

Would be good to keep it on the road

Well i was on my way home from work saturday morning 6am.. well it was raining v8 engine rwd and a roundabout.. well the thrid one i got too the previous two made very good sideways action.. the third is a large roundabout so 50 mph sideway practice and on the third lap i ran out of talent..
Practice make for a dent!
i spun it and up a drop curb over a bit of grass and right into a lampost. air bags white smoke everwhere... give me a sore throat... horrible taste got out looked at damage . It has not done the rad the water pipe cut on a pully drove it home.
Easy repair but selling as is..
No one to blame exept me. i did have a chuckel on the way home i havent clatterd a car is 10 years or so it did make me laugh.
Not sure what next . Maybe something diesel lol 535d?

[wraith01mg]

My car had the same fun a year or so back. Thanks to sideways fun. It's just parts from eBay and some paint. better than new when done. You sure you want to sell up?

[Roadsterstu]

At least you're ok. And at least you can laugh it off, I doubt I would be able to do that.

Agree glad you're ok and I know I wouldn't have been able to laugh it off
