Does it live up to the hero title as expected?

Looks like a fantastic example now, and I'm sure it'll only improve in your ownership.

It does actually, so light on its feet & it's only 260>280bhp.
It's the whole image I fell in love with @Nicky - proper late 80's London bank job car. Most were stolen, written off or both. Just a bad b*stard.
I found sugar glass under the rear bench & you just know she was up to no good in her time.

Made me horny.

I'd really love one of these at some point. Not sure what it is about them but I just love them. I had an ex-police cossie lookalike 2.0 twin cam when I was about 24, long story short a fellow forum members dad kinda trashed it on me not long after I got it and didn't get to enjoy it as I should have :pensive: closest I've come to one yet lol (so nowhere remotely close really)

Checked up the Cossie up this morning after it’s winter slumber.

She’s a light sleeper as it didn’t take much to wake her up.

While it was out & about I tried on a set of rare 18” Mk2 Focus RS alloys remanufactured in 4x108 fitment.

Mulled it over a light lunch & decided it wasn’t really for it as it needed 8mm spacers up front for spokes to clear the callipers & I’m not wild keen on battering the original studs out of the hubs to fit longer items. The longer studs would probably protrude too far anyway when you decide to stick on the 15” Lattice’s.

So original wheels on & back to bed

Sorry it wasn’t much of an update.

Focus wheels almost look too big on it.

Love the lattice wheels myself.

18’s aren’t the worst if you get the right wheel like my mate Gordon’s in Aberdeen with his Compomotive TH’s :heart::heart::heart:

But yeah the wrong wheel can look oversized like these OZ’s (or TSWs ^o))
