My new car! 1998 Ford Mondeo ST24 2.5 V6
Discussion
After several "what car" threads on here, I thought I would post up my new motor
It is a 1998 Ford Mondeo ST24 2.5 V6, 104,000 miles and loads of new parts! Came with lots of bits too, and it is in great nick!
Bad bits - needs the rear arches rubbed down and touched up, but they are salvageable. Could do with the IMRC being re-soldered, but even without it it still shifts. And the bonnet has been sprayed cheaply at some point, which is good because there are no chips and no rust, but bad because it doesn't quite match. Can easy sort that though
I am delighted with it, and I would like to hear your comments on it
And it only cost me £800!

Nice car, those Ford V6s make a pleasant noise. Should be in Reader's Cars though.
I did wonder why there weren't more of these posts! Mods, please move! Sorry for my stupidity
Thanks for the comments, this one has a stainless steel Scorpion exhaust which sounds really nice, not loud, just nice

lot of car for the money and in a good colour for one. keep it as standard looking as possible ftw. no lowering or kitting!
Don't worry, it is going to stay the way it is! Looks like it has the RSAP and that is more than enough for me
Only mods that will be done will be in the power department
Will do!
First job is to kill the rust on the rear arches, will probably just rub them down and paint them for now. Might replace them later on once the rest of the car is how I want it
Also planning on throughly cleaning the underside of the car and undersealing it properly.
Then, I will rope my mechanic mates in to giving me a hand doing this IMCR thing.
After that... Maybe ST200 inlets and cams? Who knows
