So I was over on a UK board browsing around trying to get info on ST220 cam specs and saw a post about Mark's car being parted out. What's up with that!?

EDIT: Better yet heres pics...

I had a feature in one of the big Ford mags in the UK last month & I've been sent a disc with some of the pics on it from my day with the Fast Ford guys, when I say some it's got 387 pics on it

Now that the March issue isn't the latest anymore I can post some of the pics up here for you guys to have a look at

Yeah it is very true the 3.0L Hybrid powered ST24 you see above will be at the crushers within the week.
There is nothing wrong with the car at all & it drives perfectly (& goes rather well as well :)). I'm buying a brand new car so did try selling the ST as a complete car but only got stupid offers. The government over here are doing a scrappage scheme & they will give you £2000 but it has to be crushed.
I did a deal with my Ford dealer that I can bring the ST in minus whatever bits I wanted to keep (& then sell on) as long as he can push it about to get it on the trailor for the crusher.

So Wednesday I'm taking the 3.0L Hybrid engine out, all teh interior, suspension, wheels, exhaust, bodykit & a load of other bits.
If I sell everything I'm taking off & along with the £2000 I'll get for the rolling shell I'll make about double what I advertised the complete thing for.

It will be a real shame to do it but it makes financial sense to do it, apart form a bit of work stripping it.

I'll update you with some before/after photos
 
I'm surprised no one was willing to buy it...Glad you saved almost everything from the car before it is scrapped!
