Body
Body kit, check the sills and door shuts
Battery tray,
Top of the wings in the engine bay
Reay chassis rails that run in front and round the rear wheels
Rear end round the arches and lower rear body panels
Rear hatch for water leaks from the rear wash wipe.


Interior:
Seat, not all bagged out on the bolsters.
Not faded
Dash board no cracks, espcially round the cluster
It's the correct one.... :signLOL:

Chassis plates/engines numbers will all match

Wheels, un kerbed. plus the spokes should have writing on at least four of them.
Original tyres were Michelin MVX's 195/40/15 IIRC.... :smiley:

Exhaust, original back box was oval shape (this will be silver/alloy in colour), may have been fiited with a series 2 one, should be grey in colour, which has a round rear box (like a big bean tin) plus these are better as they have a better expanion joint under the engine/gearbox which allows the engine rock, earlier one used crack here.

Battery should be white if it's orginal ford, but you can always get a white one...

HT Leads were dark blue bordering on black.

Service History...does it have any?
How many owners?
MOT's all of them?

Oil...Mobil 1 or any fully synth would be nice.

Errmmm I thinks that all for now... :signLOL:

Moschops:
Is it a Custom....IE Electric Windows, Central Locking, Opening Rear Quarters and a Sunroof.. :smiley:

Non custom does not ahve any of the above.


Oh yeah check the glass too, should all be sekurit IIRC with a light greeny tint.

VC:
Wow nice one dude!  :drinking:
