b16gnr Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Just saying hello and that it is good to be back, The story so far, after wanting a Westfield all my adult life I got a well sorted 2004 SEIW with a 2.1 pinto which I absolutely loved, however searching for that increase in power instead of taking the advice and trading my car for another sorted one I decided to go for an engine upgrade! Anyway lots of pain and 1000's later I had an upgraded red top on jenveys, I drove it once when it was not set up properly and being used to the way the pinto drove (thinking it would handle the same) wrapped it around a roundabout!! Anyway to cut I long story short I ran out of funds to get it fixed so had to sell it ( I would be interested what it is up to now? E867FUR) so three years later I have missed it, so have decided to jump back in ( with all the lessons I have learnt so far) i used to attend the meets at the fox and grapes when I lived up north, but now I am back home in Devon so if there is anybody about say hello. I'm looking for a car between the 7-8k range, sorted pinto or zetec (160-180bhp) SEIW with a windscreen as it will be for touring and B roads. Regards wayne Quote

Thrustyjust Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Dont think its a bad price for the car. looks tidy. There are people out there that think cars are worth more than they are, but I think its a decent looking car and a fair price. 1 Quote
Andrew W Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 I was going to go and look at this car tomorrow but I'm now having second thoughts! Assuming I should avoid? Quote
