Lovely, never been keen on them wheels though although black wheels would look much better. How do you like it compared to the fiesta?

Keep the wheels silver. Looks far "cleaner" then. Nice buy - bargain price!
Love that colour when polished up too

Will be much faster than the fiesta, they are dog awful slow, better off with a 1.6 corsa.
Have a supply of gearboxes and driveshafts

Jammy git that's a bargain.
Are the 1.6 Zetec S really that slow? I had a 1.25 Encore and it was nippy as fook. It would piss all over my 1.4 16v GLS.

tidy that mate, bargain! Whereabouts in south wales you from?
On paper a zetec s would piss all over a sport. Driven one and they are pretty quickish, not driven a sport though so can't compare
