i bought this earlier in the year as a standard 1.8 glx, boredom soon set in and found a 24v cosworth v6 to go in.
The engine runs spot on, its had new plugs, oil, oil filter, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, collins uprated engine mounts, k&n air filter, new granada cosworth exhaust modified to fit with no cats and the front two boxes removed so its still nice and quiet but flows a bit more freely for a few extra horsepower and keeps the car looking standard so as not to give away the surprise of whats under the bonnet. The gearbox is a standard type 9 v6 box which whines a bit but works fine. The gearbox was whining when i fitted it and i have covered over 6000 miles in it up and down the country with no problems including half a dozen runs up the drag strip at santa pod at the classic ford and retro shows. It ran consistent mid 15 second runs with no LSD and running on standard sized scrap tyres. It is now running on citroen c2 15" steel wheels with 4 new 205/50/15 tyres to give clearance for bigger brakes.
I have a load of parts to go with the car, 4 pot cosworth front calipers, xr4x4 rear axle with LSD and rear disc brakes, mt75 rwd v6 gearbox, used spax adjustable front shocks and springs, new rear apex lowering springs, BOB cams.
Its taxed and tested til the end of february 2013.
£1500 ono or find it on ebay and stick a bid in.
sorry for the poor pictures, i was in a bit of a rush and didnt have chance to give it a wash
