MASSIVE UPDATE! It's been finalised & I now know for sure that I'm being turfed out of my workshop by the end of November To that end I'm going through everything & either putting it up for sale or packing it up to move (tho fek knows where too..)

Hi All - jumping on the clearout bandwagon I'm afraid!
I seem to habitually change my mind about the direction I'm going in when modding a car so have amassed rather a lot of parts I don't need / will unlikely ever need. There are also bits for cars I no longer own adding to a total lack of space, plus no money for parts I do need for cars I do own...
Not sure if this is a good or terrible time for this sorta thing really.. I guess Santa might leave you some wheel-tokens? Plus there's still time to get the other half that set of alloys she's always wanted - giftwrap service available... ;D
Enough prattling, on with the sale!
Wheels:
4x AMG 18" x 8" beasts - bought these when I was going to VIP the Granny.. German made, can't remember who by, can check if you're interested (note not MB/AMG). 5x112 so MB, 5-stud Ford, VW, etc.. 225/40ZR18's - 2x Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's (£££!), 1x Nankang & 1x Michelin Sport Pilot (punctured, prob. repair/tube ok) full set of wheel studs & 4x centre caps - £350 EDIT: These are ET20 SOLD
1x Ford 4-std steel & nearly new 205/60/15 - from Scorpio so pres. rwd offset.. £20
4x Mk2 Granada Ghia alloys - 195/70R14 3 usable, 1 punctured (deffo not repairable) 4x centre caps - £50
4x Mk2 METRIC Granada Ghia alloys - 195/65/390 tyres - £50
Sorry about the terrible camera phone pics - it's cold, raining & half-dark - can take more if you're interested (didn't dig out all 4 wheels this time..)
4x Ford ('Tina? Escort? Capri?) wheels - can't remember what these are called (or even when / why I got them) mental blank.. Look cool tho pretty decent 205/60/13's - £75 EDIT: Apparently these are 3l Capri wheels (still dunno where I got them from..)
4x BBS-style 5x112 MB alloys, stamped 7J ET35 - (yes, I know they're lime green - could be stripped & re-done) rotational 205/55's but not much life left in 'em.. full set of wheel studs. Came with my Benz for tracking/skidding but that ain't gonna happen - £100 SOLD
3x Triumph Dolly Sprint alloys - nice looking wheels, fek knows where the 4th went - £45 or will split EDIT: My Brother has had the tyre off one of these (cheeky begger) other 2 look reasonably usable. Call it £35ono
Engines:
Haven't photo'd any of these, but can do if you want - but they look exactly how you'd expect
Cosworth 2.9 24v V6 BOB - PopUp's favourite ;D these engines are full of win; don't really mind keeping this one! I drove the car this was in and it pulled like a fekking train, slight rattle on a cold start (timing chain?) which disappeared immediately then no problems whatsoever. Approx 135k showing, had the service history for the car but can't find it at the moment (decorating house) - didn't raise any alarm bells with me anyway. Planned to fit this in Granny but she's fine & I could well do without the temptation - £350 EDIT: This is a complete engine - alternator, starter, PAS pump, AC pump, manifolds & rad included.. EDIT: Keeping this now
Veng Recon Cologne 2.8 V6 - 20k genuine, dealer fitter Veng recon unit (from the Veng factory in Cologne - trademark green painted) removed from a mint, unrestored Mk2 Granny that was destroyed by a massive oak tree falling on it - £300 SOLD
Cologne 2.8 V6 - sold to me as rebuilt and although I have nothing to back that up it drove perfectly and the car it was in was an immaculately re-furbed Capri 2.8i which had been completely re-built (showed 80kish) but dropped off a trailer on it's way to the spray shop (gutted!) - £150 SOLD
Both assume assembled block & heads only but I may have some ancillaries, pumps, etc to go with, will have to have a look..
Sorry if these sound a bit pricey but I know these to be strong engines and I know how much it costs to rebuild a Cologne (just done it) so I think they're fair. They owe me a fair chunk more than I'm asking and I'd be happy to keep one or other or them (in case Granny ever gets senile..) By negotiation I'm happy to sign something to give a limited period money-back guarantee on any of these as I know them to be good, strong engines.
Interior:
Scorpio Ultima Cosworth black leather seats - both fronts, rear bench & centre console with leather lid. Excellent condition. Loom for electric movement, bum-warmers etc, removed intact (unplugged not cut) - all working perfectly, have been stored in dry garage, very comfortable, very nice armchairs - £300 SOLD
Brakes:
Escort/Sierra Cosworth rear brake calipers (pair of) - bought these to do a rear-disk conversion on my Manta but ended up going another route (as ever, lol) - sold to me as reconditioned but appear to have been painted in the dark. New pads & flexi's still in box & brand new handbrake cable - £60 EDIT: £145 on eBay - can't believe these are still here! Should probably put them on my Mk2.. SOLD
Volvo 4-pot calipers (classic upgrade - perhaps someone can better identify?) & 240mm drilled/vented disks - stopped my Manta GTE very well - removed when I decided to fit a blown V8 & change all the running gear. Best to re-furb before fitting, kits available - £50 SOLD
Others:
Jag E-Type V12 Quad-carb inlet fannymoulds - £50
Ford intercooler of unknown origin (do holla if you know) looks good nik - £10 EDIT: It's from a Mondeo TD (endura -de engine) - thanks Ruishy
Mk2 Escort boot lid - straight & not rusty but awful primer on outside (would need redoing) & holes drilled for RS spoiler - £20
Mk2 Escort RS2000 bonnet (nose-cone'd type) in need of full strip & paint, no furniture - £30
Cast Rover V8 headers - can't imagine how / why anyone would want to live with the noise this would make but yours for a £beertoken EDIT: Weighed in...

- Mk5 Escort RS2000 big rear bumper (genuine RS catalogue part - marked 'RS' & 'Zender') excellent condition bar paint - £75
- Mk5 Escort RS2000 boot spoiler (genuine RS catalogue part - marked 'RS' & 'Zender') - 'floating' type with integral brake light. Excellent condition bar paint - £50
- Manta GTE hatch side skirts & rear bumper in Black - £40 SOLD
- Manta GTE 2l rad in pwo - £20 SOLD
- Manta GTE boot spoiler (hatch) - ready to fit (near perfect paint but these are impossible to paint as they're flexible rubber) - one end piece is missing (still looking for it) and the paint on the one I do have is cracked (see note about paint on flexible rubber!)
