Fantastic! Looks like it's worth 10x that!
Thanks. To be honest it's come out pretty well in the photos. A closer look reveals it's got a fair few fings and scratches around. Not terrible though and quite presentable.I nearly had a 'who do you think you are' moment - i looked at the plates and it's the Ford dealer where i used to work - AND i worked there at the time this was registered....i wondered...did i register this very car....and now all these years later...it's back with me....but no, this one was done at the other branch! D'oh!

What was 'seized up'? The brakes?
Yeah, all. With some hub bashing and rocking back and forth I got it going. They're not in great condition now but not as bad as I feared...My 2014 Fiesta goes *clonk* when I reverse off the drive after a weekend of it sat not being used, when the pads release. It's also just gone through its local MOT equivalent with zero comments.
That Focus looks like value - I’ve just spent a month with one that cost £174 and was a fair bit more broken (although tested) https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
Doesn’t make a bad shed at all although I struggle to get enthusiastic about them. Don’t know what it is about that era Ford that leaves me so cold - they’re not bad cars!

Collecting this later, something a bit different for shedding... day van converted Chrysler Grand Voyager, grabbed it off eBay for just inside shed budget
Not sure what plans are with it until I've seen it in the flesh but will def be taking it for a weekend or two away this year with dog and Mrs
Probably a better drive than a vw t5 as well as cheaper, can't go wrong after a good clean out Not sure what plans are with it until I've seen it in the flesh but will def be taking it for a weekend or two away this year with dog and Mrs
