So why are you going to kill a CTR?

its dead, parting it out, just about everyione that collected parts was shocked as it was very nice clean example, will get some pics up when i get time

have parting out thread somwhere


thinking if buying another and taking to the ring for some fun, my ek4 is just too harsh and stripped to do such long trip across several countries

An EK9 is not a beater. An 1989 Ford Tempo is a beater. You are just a wealthy man who enjoys watching others wish they could have an EK9 when you feel good about yourself knowing you can destroy as many as you want, and continue on with your luxury coupe's.

im not wealthy by any means, im earn your average if not below average wage, i dont have fancy cars etc and they dont do anything for me anyway

as for "beater", humour is a good thing, have some fun my friend

ek9 has been 1 of my dream cars for many years but now become afforable hence gettin for good price in conjuntion with friend, enjoyin, then breaking

as for lips, sold but will have another set oem of oem ek9 lips in about a week or 2 for sale, shoot me pm if interested

What a waste of bandwidth. You should get some respect for classic cars.

This section is for build threads not teardown threads. If you want to part a car do it in the for sale forum

I'm sorry dude but technically classics are labeled as such after 20 years.
