MK3 fiesta unfinished project! CHEAP!
Basically i have a mk3 fiesta for sale, unfinished project and due to me (and the council) i need it gone asap.
I bought the car from a lad up north with a 1.8 zetec engine fitted but shortly after the engine blew up after loosing all its oil. I then fitted a 2ltr zetec and it started first time but then cut out when the revs dropped off. I then fitted 2ltr injectors and a speed sensor but the problem still occured. So i then got hold of a 2ltr ECU and MAF sensor and have since fitted them but because my battery was completely flat i havent had a chance to start it!
Because ive moved house i no longer have a driveway or garage so it was parked in the car park near my house and ive had a letter from the council saying i have to remove it so i really need it gone ASAP.
Ive waxoiled the rear end lately but have lost interest in the car so its got to go.
Here are some pics.
What it looked liked before the engine blew!
Will consider throwing these in if the price is right. They are brand new, never fitted etc.
Im open to offers and need it gone asap and will need towing or trailing away.
cheers.

No rot around petrol cap and cant see any rot or bubbleing around arches, have just waxoiled rear arches and boot area.
There are a couple of marks from car parks etc but nothing noticeable and just dirty!
Forgot to mention ive just fitted new Pi suspension to the rear and have the fronts to go with it.
cheers.

I waxoiled the front arches when i first got the car 3 years ago and its worked a treat no sign of rust at all

like i said whoever gets this for 500 is in for a treat
i personally think your mad for selling it at that price! the mint frst interior and super legerras are worth that on their own not forgetting the cossie brakes pop outs quads mint shell etc
anyways good luck with the sale

Hello mate basically the engine starts first time and runs then as the revs drop off teh engine cuts out. Ive just fitted 2ltr injectors and it still has the same trouble so i bought a 2ltr ECU and MAF sensor but have yet to start the engine with these parts fitted.
Ive just got in from work with the battery fully charge so im about to start it and see wether it runs.
If the problem still occurts then im guessing its probably a sensor fault somewhere such as ISCV, crank sensor or something but im no mechanic so who knows! Could be a real simple fix that ive missed in which case whoever gets the car gets a right result.
cheers
