i saw a Fiesta ST engine complete with ECU and wiring loom on ebay last week no reserve 0.99p starting bid.

i thought why the hell not.

completely forgot about it, i get an email today saying i won the auction, checked to see if im deffo not being mugged off.

genuine seller has reputable breaking business
details correct
postage says collection only.

so i just brought a 07 plate engine with 78k on the clock for 99p.

i could sell that engine or even better spruce it up fit a turbo kit too it and sell it for £5000k

i just bid another 99p engine as well im not saying what as you guys will steal it from me and do the same

it's engine mayhem all over again, not sure how i'll break it to the parents they got major f***ed off before with all my car parts and leaking oil in the shed.

Faaaaaack brought another one!

I've had one of those moments when you put bids on cheap items and forget and presume someone will beat that bid and then forget about it.

I brought another engine for £200 from Belfast.

The other engine i brought i still haven't heard from this guy and i emailed ebay and they are getting in contact probably wont see that engine too-be-frankly-honest.

Your IB5, thought it was okay after you put a new diff in it? If your saying that one now is whining i'll give you a pack of maltesers for it.
