as you can tell by my user name i am used to fords, but i had a little whoopsie in my cossie a few weeks ago,

so while i decide to fix or break it i got a nice dolphin grey 325i tonight, i will get some pics tomorrow, but cheers to steve (latte boy) for looking it over, there is a little bit of rust popping through in one or two places but nothing too bad, so now to get used to it........

and save up for some new tyres, as i can see my getting through them quite easy... :o

Go for it! You can leave the Cosworth logos on anything - just grind off any ford or fomoco.
