Before you weigh it in, I`d just like to point out that the last Probe I sold in fine fettle fetched £1295. That translates to £900 private sale all day long.
1) Who was bonkers enough to give it to you? 2) Do you really dislike £20 notes that much?

they look J to me stick mitsi badges on it for grin factor amongst purists and the like ;D See mazda MX6.... Its not Mondeo PCD, its 5x4.5" (114.3mm) same as the Mazdas its based on. There are no Ford bits in it. Which IMO, for the era, is a great advantage. Its basically an MX6 or 626 under there. My Haynes manual says so anyway. So it should be reliable and comfy, ideal daily driver material. Sounds alright as a daily then. Was gonna say Mondeoise it (yeah i know ^ ) just keep it neat and modest! even a VIP style might not be too bad if its neat. racer style looks hawt but only if its got some go to show. Vic, good going man, i can see a business plan forming here mate.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Do it this way! with just an alloy sheet on adjusters on the back to act as a nascar style spoiler! Oval banked beauty. Strip all the paint first, then brush paint it silver and rub it down with some 800grade wet and dry... Then apply stickers. In fact give it to me and I'll do it. That is the shizzbomb. Top shop skillz too

Lets clear up car terms: "Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car. "Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car. "Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence. "Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

There's John Tebenham's cossie powered one: SoCal had a drag car model: I reckon the slippery shape would look cool salt lake style, ultra low with Moon discs and rivetted in perspex windows.

2002gimp in da house: New plan, i'm mot'ing it and giving it to my Missus' brother
NO F*CKIN WAY!!!!!!
We have spent 4 pages of doing your job on this car, we have styled it, we have Photoshoped it, we have given you soooooo much imput on what to do to do, everything from a "salt shaker" (my sugestion and IMHO the best), NASCAR, Mad Max, Dragracer so now you owe it to us to do something out of it, giving it away, Bahh humbug!!!!!

Err, i'll pass on the ideas to him!
As a bonus the saltshaker is nice and cheap, so i might push him in that direction!
