Depends how well it’s been done, some of the touring car replicas look fantastic. But yeah it would need to be done right and that isn’t cheap. 

I like this one I've posted before - it's currently not in as good condition, but it as a base model (hence no sunroof which is touring car spec) and has been owned by the same guy since 2006.

Looks ideal for getting people’s way at track days. 🤣

That one seems to have been passed around various sites quite a bit, think it was for sale recently

yes it was on eBay a couple of times last year but didn't sell. It's believed to be one of the press /launch cars

Here's the 'after' pic from the original FB post about it:

Not too bad, would much rather it goes to someone who gives a shit about it than have it die on the oval.

This one is now in the hands of a serial Mondeo fancier.

This was mine in 2007. First day of Mondeo sales 2.0Si and it was MINT. drove like new.

Stolen and burnt out by arseholes and I was gutted. Rip K821SSM

The touring car tribute is on ebay now.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284883922063?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=uoM0ARk_SGm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=hqNZ7jzKT9W&widget_ver=artemis&media=FB&fbclid=IwAR3z7abIy6v1IokmQWGMjICZ9hxHbeFiJ76B3D3K4ay8hmt8wyRyzJtZz-o

bid up to £3k, so surely what I need to do to mine (that's a joke there)

It looks good but the 1.8 simply isn’t quick enough for hauling about round a track. A V6 yes possibly but you’d just be getting in peoples way in a 1.8.

So I've been posting some general Mondy updates, but nothing about mine.

Well, fact is I haven't been very well this year, and I haven't driven it at all since end of March. Sad times, but not something to get into here.

Anyway, it had to go for a test, and someone came and got it for me after I put a new battery on it, as the old Lion job (yeah not the best) was toast. Put an Exide on it from Tanya which I think are reasonable in my experience.

Front tyre now so bad had to put the spare on to get it through. Anyway, that was the only issue apart from slight binding on nearside rear brake as in last year's test.

Clean pass.

Whisper it quietly, but my time with it may be coming to an end, because of aforesaid issues and generally I don't go anywhere much post pandemic.

Anyway time will tell.

[JakeT]

Like for the MOT pass, not for the health issues.

 

Good car though, hopefully if you do sell it’s to someone who’s all about the bASe, too.

Yeah, while a seller has no control about what happens to a car, I'd be a bit sad if someone in the future went track/banger/BTCC rep.

It's notable Mondeos have very little visibility in the Ford scene (which is, and always has been about modding) but three were at FoTU including two K-reg cars.

[sierraman]

I’d keep it if at all possible. Cheap interesting car that’s in good condition. 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Glad to hear of the pass, sorry to hear of the health issues. Sending well wishes. 

[LightBulbFun]

as others said, glad to hear of the MOT pass  but sorry to hear of the health woes! I hope all is able to get better soon!

and I hope you are able to keep the Mondy  

[sierraman]

Sometimes farting about with old cars is a welcome distraction if you have other issues going on in the background.

[Eyersey1234]

Liked for the MOT pass  not the health issues. Get well soon @egg, I hope you don't have to sell the bASe

[greengartside]

Hope you get well soon @egg like others have said, having a distraction from things like this such as a car is worth it’s weight in gold.

Likewise.  If you need any help with the Mondy let me know.  Or even just a session of tinkering with very little actual progress (something I excel at).

I’d turn up for that

Appreciate the moral support!

Nice Alberto Green over Pumice L-reg for sale at the mo. Same spec as the GLX I had. But saloon.

Yes, the wheel trims can do one.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Hope you're keeping alright mate.  It's a fantastic car and I think you're the best owner it could possibly have.

[greengartside]

Mondeo has already gone I think, no surprise as that looked a cracker.
