would this be any use to you pugboxter? £250 for a 900 mile new ST engine

this ST is being broken so it may be worth contacting them to see if they will sell it as a donor car

It's OK for someone who has an ST with an engine fault and just needs to replace the engine, no good to me. Starting with a complete car is the only way to go, that will be enough of a challenge getting all that to work in its new home.

That is cheap, not sure what the guy selling it means about needing a different version though, perhaps the sump is different. The Duratec is the engine of choice at the moment, a nice easy 220-230hp with aftermarket throttle bodies.

did you miss the link for the complete car then? a silver st being broke for spares

Yes I saw that, as has been said it looked fine?

That's no good to me either, they'll be out to make money on breaking that.

The only way to get one cheap is direct from a scrap auction.

oh well!! i tried!!

Something like this

web page

any good?

20" rims on there...

Good Luck with it and let us know how you get on through the task... it's very interesting

I believe they're based on 17". Italo is just playing around with different sketches, It's a fasinating process the way your perception of one changes over a few days and when he replaces it with another the one you previously thought looked really good then looks a bit naff.

I'll keep you updated, flat out selling everything car related I own at the moment, I'm amazed at how much rubbish I have, and it is all selling well on eBay. Garage next.
