I have a Magnex mk3 fiesta xr2i/rs turbo backbox for sale, i bought it off a friend, stupidly thinking i could get it to fit my mk5 fiesta. It came off his Fiesta Rs1800 Its just sitting about, and would be more use to someone else that does have a mk3 fiesta Its in good overall condition, could do with a polish, I'm sure its got a 3'' tip, but may even be 2.5' as it is quite small looking, haven't actually measured it to be honest. Looking for about £30, collected from Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire area as i don't have paypal.

Mk5 Fiesta Zetec-S
Fun cars , very reliable, nippy, handle well, comfortable driving position, cheap to insure/repair and get parts for.. and decent ones can be had for around a grand with or without some mods.

Nah its just not for me, would cost more to put right, removing bodykit etc, full respray.. Just looking for a bare shell really, doesnt have to have bumpers or lights, preferably all glass and panels and rolling, can supply wheels if none are available. Just got to sell my mk5 zetec-s first

Hello, I'm looking for a cheap rolling escort or fiesta rs turbo shell local to hertfordshire or the london area. Must be cheap as going to use as a long term project, preferably with as little rust or rot as possible.
might consider an xr2i/xr3i shell or a turbo converted bonus with a loom something similar to make an rs turbo 'rep' out of it. depending on condition
Thanks for any replies in advance
Matt.

PM's replied to... It might even be the one you saw.... iv lived in abbots langley for 22 years so you might have seen it at some point yes its a C reg, 1985..... and yeah i think thats the carb it uses, as i was looking at a stage1 tuning kit for her.. but she got the exhaust instead... Compass- I'll get some photos tomorrow as its too dark now.... I'm pretty sure its bubbling under the paint... I'm no bodywork specialist so I'm not too knowledgable on that sort of thing... Was something with the subframe I'm sure my mum mentioned it... ill have to get back to you on that one.... Thats fair enough mate, only reason shes selling was because the man who used to fix it up/mot it and whatnot.... wasnt doing what he was being paid for and the car wasnt treated properly.. but has just had about £800 spent on it to get it through its current MOT. I'm sure she has everything from when she bought it.. iv found all the reciepts for everything its had..... shes owned it 26 years now and never abused it or smoked in it. Advisories would probably be something minor, or a small patch of welding... but again, ill have to get back to you on that. Thanks for everyones interest.

Hi everyone, here we have my mothers 1985 mini mayfair in the lovely targa red colour.
It has 12 months mot on it, but no tax.... Its a C reg, with a lovely unmarked cream fabric interior. NEVER, EVER been smoked in.... 2 owners from new, 2nd being my mum.. She has had the car for 26 years now and has been well cared for.
Unfortunately the mechanic fella she used to take the car to , to get parts fitted/fixed, wasnt doing what he was being paid for, and the car went untreated for a year or 2.
Has had £800 spent on it just recently to get it through the Mot.
Has various small patches of rust bubbles coming through on the bodywork seams. easily sorted if you know what you're doing.
It has a walnut dash, also has minilites on it, but also think shes keeping them. But have the standard wheels+hubcaps to put on there for it to be driveable. They are quite good codition.
Bearing in mind this car has had thousands spent on it... has 2 owners from new... and has covered only 75k from new back in '85!....... so quite low mileage for a 27 year old car!.
Targa red in colour.... has stainless steel bumpers, and front grille also chrome headlight surrounds.
Electronic ignition
Drives and stops( my mums words - 'it goes like stink' )...also has an aftermarket exhaust system on it, I am lead to believe its called an rc40?
I will put up what I remember now, and when I find more info ill edit this ad accordingly .
Ill get some pics up in a minute as photobucket is being rather long tonight.
But price is £1300 or nearest offer...
Located in Watford/Hertfordshire area.
PM me for more details, as I dare say I have missed a fair few bits out.

Iv got 2 of those Rolls Royces in your first set of pictures think they're from a set called the '280 collection' ? .. may be wrong, both in mint condition, one is a burnt orange/gold colour ... and the other one is a white/cream model.. both still have the flying ladies too How much are they worth these days? ...last time i checked on ebay, some blue rolls royce 280 models were going for around the £40 mark

Hi everyone, i was just wondering who does Ford engine swaps ? its not really retro, but i am looking at buying a mk5/6 escort, I'm thinking of getting a 2.0 zetec engine fitted rather than the 1.6 ,, and was surious as to who does these conversions?
Are there any companies that do this for a few hundred quid ?
Thanks
