Story in a nutshell: I bought a ten grand 07 Mondeo ST 2.2tdci on credit. I can't afford to pay it back so now I have to sell the car and clear the credit agreement with the money I make and go back to driving my 1994 1.4 Escort. As you can imagine, I feel like an idiot and I'm going to feel like an idiot with a crap car very soon. I'm now going to pour my heart and soul into this escort. I'm going to engine swap and do it right up. It may not be an ST, but it will be one of a kind and part of me. =]
 
can sympathise as my mate had the same happen with him, he bought an Integra Type R and after 6 months took it back to the guys he bought it from - he lost 4 grand on it. Bit of advice on this try and sell it private as a car dealership will screw you if you try and take it back. Good luck with the new project!
 
Believe me I'm trying to! Lol. Can't wait to get this project underway. I'm just enjoying this power for the last few days that I have it, lol.
 
or ¬_¬ you could learn from this, and put the money you were gonna spend on your escort towards your ST or the new RS! i cant say much though, im gonna do that to my xsara :lol:

lol it gonna feel like your driving a slug in the escort when you get back into it

I just got back in from the first drive and quite frankly =| about sums it up. That has just spurred me on to make a scooby killing sleeper out of my escort. I found a 2.5 V6 engine from a mondeo down the scrappy that will fit on my engine mounts. They want 225 for the Engine, Loom and ECU and all relevant connections. How much am I looking at for labor? As I can afford the engine this month but have nowhere to store it/no transport for it.
 
Sorry to hear about the situation. Bad times for many people. You'll need more than a Mondy 2.5 V6 to make a Scooby slayer though mate.
 
dunno about labour mate youd need to ask around
why not fit it yourself ?

I wouldn't know where to start, nor do I have the equipment necessary, lol.

Scooby slayer is just a term me and my best mate use when discussing a car that can fly off the line, lol. I have no illusion it will ever be THAT good, but I can draw alot of power out of that engine. The ST200 engine is a 2.5 V6 putting out 202bhp and 235nm of torque. Although ST is they're sport tuned range, it's still nowhere near the engines full capacity. I should be able to squeeze at least 250bhp out of it when I've finished throwing money at it, if not more. Or so the theory go's! Lol.
