I was going to say the wheels look gash in black

First job for me would be to get the interior out and go rust hunting

Black FRSTs look stunning when they're clean

nothing like a bit of pissing on someone's chips before they even get it

Genuinely though op that is SOUND advice, was 1st thing i done with mine

Nice motor , need LOADS more pics please

[jonboisescort]

cheers fellas thats first thing im going to do is check it over for rust

[mickeyrs]

dont mean to piss on your chips but i had a look at this before xmas a guy from stoke had it on swaps and it was smoking like a bas£%!d. and the filler cap was rotten as was the bottom of the drivers wing by the door and rear arch. He said the smoke was the turbo had gone but didnt seem to have any play in the shaft he offered me a spare turbo to go with it but if it was just the turbo that was shot why not change it and swap/sell a smokless car????????????????

I walked away from it but if you have the time it could be a very nice example

Again mate not trying to put a downer on it just letting you know the state it was in when i looked at it, as the bloke who has it on swapz says it has 11 months mot and it didnt have tax or test when i looked at it so i would be dubious of the mot as it was smoking really bad and cant see it passing like that as it was undrivable and is still smoking as per the add

[jonboisescort]

cheers for the heads up mate

im just happy im getting rid of the caddy

if its no good will break it for bits anyway

[mickeyrs]

no problem pal just know what sort of crap you get offered on swapz (ive got a 1.0 saxo with a 12 inch exhaust and hand painted in lambo orange for your X5 ) it might not be as bad as i first thought but the only time i could see it was when it was dark but was put off by the smoke. as i needed something i could maybe spend a day or so on then tax and test it for use as a dailey driver

[jayrs]

agree with shaun, get rust hunting mate, hopefully its not too bad, and hopefully the smoking issue isnt to bad a problem or costly to sort out

[jonboisescort]

[Tweek]

Whats up with it Jon?

[jonboisescort]

quite alot of rust and most of it has been covered in fibreglass and filler

[jayrs]

[jonyb4]

aah he was on FSI, was offering it up for £800 or swap with something


pitty its wrotten!, he insisted the turbo oil seal was leaking on it so engine may have some use yet

[jonboisescort]

i think the breathers are to blame on it as they are both joined together
