Not retro but my new daily project V6 Mondeo

[tomti]

I know its not a retro car, but for anyone interested, here's my Mondeo Ghia 24v V6.
I recently aquired this off my mate after doing a straight swap for my E30 320i. He wanted another car he can drift and i wanted something faster and more reliable for everyday. Its my third mondeo (for some reason, i think they are fantastic cars).

Its a bit erm, battered you could say but mechanically its perfect. Its got all the toys including traction control (which is odd at first).It drives like a dream, so smooth and fast as i found out last sunday when i got pulled for an average of 101mph but thats another story...

here's the pics




gotta have duct tape on a mondeo bumper!



dented front wing




always wanted a set of 205/15 steels!


the business end. sooo much torque


Anyway, plans are to fix the blowing centre pipe even tho I'm enjoying it sound like a 3.0 capri! Tidy up the bumper and try and pull the dent out of the front wing.

Want to keep it on the steels and I'm gonna spray them gloss black, fit some grippy tyres, induction kit for the noise, lower it approx 60mm and debadge it so i can just go round slaying the boy racers in there hot hatches in my anonymous mundano hatchback ;D

Feel free to photoshop just don't take the curse word too much

Ford really know how to engineer skanky looks into a car don't they?! You see some where there is more gaffer tape than bumper, so you're not doing too badly!

Not a Mondy fan but I do like a nice V6.

skanky looks?

Mondeo V6 Ghias are cool. Much more stealthy than the STs. Especially when they look a bit second hand.

As for the rear bumper, anyone who's driven one will entrirely understand the knacked rear bumper. As look over your shoulder when reversing, you might as well do it with your eyes shut.

I do like Mondeo's actually, one of my favourite features was the little homely lights inside the door handles in the Mk1's, and the fact you can just keep on going without ever feeling uncomfortable. Great cars.

First thing I said to myself when you said "a bit battered" was "wonder how much gaffer tape he's got on his bumpers". Not a Mondeo without it imo

I prefer the v6 ST200 - they look a bit good with that body kit, theres couple around my way.
