Fancying a change, so who would like to take Scrote off me?

Has had quite a bit of work since I bought her from Kev including:

Gearbox Reconditioned - Done by Ritchy's Dad's business
New clutch
New timing belt
Arches repaired
Good tyre tread all round
New brake pipes all round
New lower wishbones
New droplinks
new n/s/r brake cylinder
new exhaust from cat back
Oil & Filter changed 4-5 weeks ago
Both outer CV gaitors recently replaced
Inner tie rod end replaced

Comes with standard kit which includes C/L, Alarm, Electric front windows, sunroof. All electrics work and all switches light up when lights are on. Been a good workhorse for me running back and forward to work giving from 37mpg up to 42mpg

Taxed till - 31/01/2011
MOT - Need to check, cannot remember right now lol, looks like it's due December:)

Last year she had some welding work to a few small areas underneath, this has all been rust tread and last month i went over the underside with Hammerite/waxoyl bitumen type stuff, so should be solid for a good while now:D

This is an M reg car so while I have shined her up there are the usual wee dints here and there with a couple of small rust patches but nothing too serious tbh and for a Ford of this age is remarkably rot free:)

On 78K at the moment but still in daily use so this will rise:) Will also come with the original factory fitted tape deck, not my cd HU that is in it at the moment.

Looking for ?500 ono
Any questions ask away:)

Few pics prior to arch repairs and a decent polish up.
