Westfield SE Wide Body - 2.0L Zetec Blacktop. (2006) -WITHDRAWN

[Kent Westfield]

No longer available as I decided to keep and spend a fortune on it !
 

 

Basic Spec

·        Westfield SE Widebody in Yellow

·        Brand new  2.0L Zetec Blacktop engine. 

·        Running on Twin Weber 45’s + Alpha 1D Ignition System

·        MT75 Gear Box with Short Shifter.

·        4x Point Harnesses

·        Very quick car with beautiful noise.

·        First Registered: 26 07 2006 (Q Plate)

·        5 Former owners, but I have owned the car since July 2015 (approaching 5 years)

·        I have spent a small fortune on this car in the 5 years of ownership (read below) (£3.5k spent)

·        Mileage: ~10,600 miles (I bought it with 9,200 miles)

·        MOT: Until April 2020 (Happy to renew this as part of sale)

·        All MOTs available and a ring binder full of receipts and invoices. No expense has been spared.

 

General History:

·        Receipts show the original kit was bought in 2001 with eventual build completion & registration in 2006. (A long time!)

·        Originally fitted with Pinto Engine but this was changed for 1.8L Ford Silvertop engine.

·        When I bought the car it had this engine fitted, but was smoking on wide throttle.

·        I bought it as a mini project car with the intention of ‘fixing the engine’

·        I used the car for the summer of 2015 as it was and then took it off the road under a SORN (2016-2018) as I started investigating the engine problem.

·        The smoking engine was low on compression on all 4 cylinders so after removing and stripping the head, all 4 cylinders liners were found to be scored.

·        As expected – It was burning oil.

·        At this point I decided to ditch the engine and start a fresh.

·        Then one thing lead to another and OCD has taken over.

 

General Condition:

Underhood.

·        Brand new Ford 2.0L Zetec Blacktop fitted engine (less than 200 miles ago)

·        Brand new Clutch

·        Brand new Flywheel

·        Brand new Denso 40A Alternator + Serpentine belts.

·        Brand new foam filter for carbs

·        Reconditioned Radiator (stripped, cleaned repainted)

·        Reconditioned Steering rack (Stripped, re-greased, repainted + bushes)

·        Brand new steering tie rods.

·        New Gaskets (Intake & Exhaust manifolds)

·        New Catch Tank Fitted with machined aluminium billet bracket.

·        All fasteners replaced with stainless steel bolts/ nuts/washers.

·        All assembly torques recorded during re-assembly

·        Front end chassis – Repainted.

·        Carburettors re-gasketed & rebalanced professionally at BD Engineering.

·        Coolant hoses are original ones. Nothing 'wrong' them but could do with new ones to match otherwise gleaming underhood environment.

 

Other Mechanicals

·        Rear Differential was reconditioned in 2015 at a cost £800 just before I bought the car. (Receipt available)

·        Brake System remain as purchased – Discs at Front. Drums at rear. Work very well with no complaints.

 

Interior

·        Alcantara Momo racing steering wheel (with quick release)

·        Steel sheet / carbon effect vynal dash ditched (still available)

·        New Carbon Fibre Dashboard with brand new switch gear fitted (dials not changed)

·        Navy Blue seats and carpets remain. (As bought)

·        My plan was to ditch blue seats and replace both these and the carpets - which are a little tired. (Not a fan of blue interior)

·        I have replacement seats available (black with yellow piping) – in outstanding condition.

·        But have not got as far as buying the carpets – so the seats are not fitted but come with the car.

·        This was going to be the next phase of my interior restoration.

 

Bodywork

·        Yellow with Chrome theme (Headlamps, windscreen, wishbones + Springs)

·        Carbon Fibre ‘back shelf’

·        Generally, in excellent condition with a few minor knocks/chips but this should be expected for the age of the car.

·        Again my plan was to go through a de-chroming process, replacing Chrome with black powder coating ancillaries.

·        This would have been Phase 3 of my project.

 

Wheels & Tyres·       

·        15” x 6.5 Alloy Wheels. (+Spare)

·        195 65 Tyres - in great condition.

·

Other Items:

·        Side Screens included.

 

The Bad Bits (Some will be addressed before sale)

·        Slight hesitation on fast right hand cornering - Car is booked into BD Engineering to fix. (This will be fixed for a prospective buyer)

·        Minor localised tear on the passenger seat (back). Plan was to replace both seats. Replacement seats available will be provided with the car.

·       Carpets 'ok' but generally a little tired.

 

No expense has been spared, and to be honest if circumstances were not different I would be continuing the phased refresh of this car.

 

I am a WSCC member and have been for several years. You will see some of my posts on here which will also give some of the live topics that I have sought help on during from front end restoration.

 

I will add more photos over the weeken.

 

Serious interest only please. I am under no desperation to sell the car so without the right price and the right home - I will not let it go.

 

Cheers
