When I was 14 it was easy! 4x3.75, 5x205, 4x4.25, 4x4.5 and 5x5 covered pretty much everything! Yep imperial or metric measurements it’s not hard to fathom ... or so you would think I just can’t get how people “build” their cars nowadays . No thought or thinking outside the box or even just using GOOGLE to answer their own questions before they have to be embarrassed by me !? 😂 |

i have here, something that would set many cars off.. 4x100 (yes 4x100 mazda, vw vauxhall!! NOT ford) 13" 7j deep dish steels. these are from JBW , they are in good nick, i would paint them again if fussy. all straight and true. these take the chrome caps (not included) and in esseence look like a lotus steel wheel.. but obviously being 4x100 they will make many people confused 13"x7j ET 0 4x100 pcd collection welcome following social distancing and etc. or i can post these for the cost. £200 collected - £225 delivered. any questions message me  432AB2B3-2EE9-4611-8146-F9A685AE561C by  A777A45B-E746-435E-BF74-498FAE99F2F8 by  70E28D19-203F-4F77-B689-6D0521730115 by |

Hi got this for sale on behalf of a mate . It’s a 1985 1100 Mk2 fiesta pop . Before I continue I must make it clear , this was involved in an accident sadly , and as such insurance put it down as not economical to repair in a commercial revenue .. ( layman’s terms - it’s repairable but not from a insurers £150 an hour labour rate view as it outweighs the value of the car ) , this is stated on the logbook too . NOS REAR 1/4 panel and inner arch included!! So , it runs and drives still , it’s an 1100 xflow with a 4 speed box And a lovely interior also . I will run through bits that have been done to it over the years Following have all been brand new or nos in the last few years - Radiator Water pump Brake master cylinder Discs and all hoses Rear wheel cylinders New full exhaust system front to back New front headlamps installed Comes with the following as spares to go with : Brand new front bumper New luk clutch Spare rear shocks Spare carpet set too Essentially the mechanicals are sweet , clutch is a bit high but a new one is included . It also comes with a brand new NOS rear 1/4 panel and inner arch , which is a godsend to repair the car , all you would need To source is a new door and possibly wing both are frequently available. These panels are worth easily half the Asking price but come with the car . Photos do hopefully say it all , the car would break up easily for probably more than we are asking , but we need it all gone as the space is needed now and it would be a shame to see it cut up as prior it was a lovely car . Not looking to split it up . £600 the lot , collection only from Swanley Kent / London , it is ready to go and would be a great winter (potential lockdown 2 )project ? Any questions on me or give me a call on O796969674six Thanks Photos to follow in a bit once I get to my laptop as can’t upload via my phone |

never done a thread on this but seeing as its nearly done i thought i'd divulge in whats been keeping me busy for the last 5 or so years. photos say it all, in hindsight wish i bought a better car to start with but thats life. i like a challenge.. originally had plans with a pinto but now with an st170 on jenveys , link ecu retaining vvt , gaz shocks all round, wilwood 4 pots gartrac pedal box , full trim etc. went the complete opposite to how people tend to build them nowdays ( retaining full chrome, colour that i have never seen a mk2 in - no its not beige its something else from the ford range  , full trim in lairy colour, 6" revs on proper tyres etc) even has probably the best heater i have had in any of my cars lol. anyway i still have to finish some bits on it, so will keep it updated ish as and when  IMG_4170 by  IMG_2090 by when it was running and just set up, left it scabby and drove the wheels of it locally for a bit.  IMG_2232 by then body work commenced , still ran around in it multi coloured, was proabably the best laugh ever , the finance brigades faces was a picture lol  IMG_2857 by  IMG_2880 by a repair i had been dreading but done and relieved! vinyl roofs.. don't you love them  IMG_2902 by and fast forward one year, its painted, and i have fitted it 90% back up.. ready for the shows? nope, thanks covid in typical style just as i get it ready everything is cancelled haha . can only laugh ey  IMG_2402 by  IMG_2443 by interior halfway there !  IMG_2394 by  IMG_2234 by money shot  IMG_1438 by still got a load of niggly bits to finish it, but its really as and when. i never thought it would be at this stage, the amount of times i wanted to pack it in, but nearly done and onto the next one, thought i would share it with you all on here cheers Gav |
