Tegiwa rep of the GruppeM is also a good alternative, had one on my DC5. Sounds like an S2000 touring car with one on.
Didn't realise these were bad for rust, tbh.
@massivewangers post over in the Evo appreciation thread about Cosworths being hidden away made me remember this chap called John taking his Escort out at Silverstone on a wet day in October....

Needs to work on his hand-work on the wheel. :LOL:
Loads of folks tag him on posts of my Evo saying it's a clone of his, despite me owning them for years. He's even got the same shifter setup:
Might change my Insta name to AdamLztr to gain a few million followers.
Yeah that doesn't look like bubbly underseal yet, would need a good inspection underneath though.
I don't think you'd lose anything on that 5RS at that money, that's the crazy thing. I know of one that had high mileage, but condition was amazing and it's gone for more than that. With the 25...
I think you should be ok for major plastics. Although the rear quarter plastics have a strange colour insert.
Be wary of the Radio, it'll be update list rather than tuner list so might not work in your older 172 Cup.
My K2 Karcher gave up after about 2 years, the seals at the outlet near the bottom perished and failed. Having taken it apart, it's a cheap device and I won't buy again.
My F-I-L bought me the Workzone 2.2Kw one from ALDI, and it's been absolutely brilliant. Not sure on availability though...
I think you'll want a donor car from the same year. There were subtle differences with the 2005 car, and I'd expect similar differences between Ph2 172 / 182.
My wife had a 2005 1.2 Dynamique back in the day and it had a completely different cloth/fabric to my 172 Cup at the time.
If anything, the Dynamique's interior was an upgrade. I gather the Cup had the most basic of fabrics.
I'd sell mine as I don't use it much, but the J doesn't work very well any more. :LOL: There's a recall available, but it'd mean going to a "Genius" bar.
