fiesta mk1 sleeper projet................well thats the plan
cant remember starting a thread on this car........
bought in October 2005 for £100 out the spare/repairs section of the local rag popped round that evning couldnt get it started but left £20 deposit as it was such a lovely car, been in the same family from new garaged for most its life no end of new bits, including wings
the bad bit was a huge dent on the passenger side, motorbike went into the side and its a cat C write off
.........so the DVLA wont give me the damn logbook untill its had a VIC check, so a perfectly decent fiesta is getting cut up.............and turned into a monster track weapon 
(well thats the plan)
big thanks to E500TAT and his brother over on XRtwo for helping me get it home
for the time being ive got a 1.6 X'flow but the long term plan is RWD with hopefulls a volvo 2.3NA running 150+ bhp + nitrous
such a clean example and worth £100 of anyones money
then i get hold of it. some minor surface rust..........
turns into this
nothing major and i dont posess a welder so it got fillered
looking very clean still...........in the end i couldnt keep it at home no room on the drive so it had togo down the field
taking the engine out began nearly a year ago
just this last saturday i stripped the interior our its clean inside
and heres the powerplant 1600 fiesta XR2 X'Flow ..... £25
no dizzy so this ones off the 1.1 for the time being
found myself an old coolant pip off my old volvo 240GLT. this should save on trying to find an XR water rail, needs a bit of modding to fit the heater pipe in
so for the moment its just going to be a stripped out beige shell with a 1600 running and 1100 g'box hopefully keep the ratios down and the accel up, just want a quickish 1/4 car thats a bit of a sleeper........basically i wanna humiliate some saxo's
long term plans id like togo RWD and volvo power.....i would go pinto but there expensive to get power out of, if i start off with a volvo block ive allready got 130bhp and all the running gear to handle 200 odd horses
