Default MK5 Fiesta Cosworth ...

Well I have been browsing and popping posts up now and then, so thought as I have pulled my finger out I would put a project post up ..

I'll put some pics up of the from start to present ..

As she looked after slamming and rims:



Then the car was kicked in and the wheels were changed:



Shortly after this I got bored of it so had it painted:



I decided next a change of rims and euro look would be nice, so got a set of 3 piece schmidts:





I then decided it was a good idea to collect points on my licence, this resulted in a 6month ban, so it came apart again so I could supercharge the 1.7 puma engine ..



Worked then stopped while I move and couldn't be arsed to work on it ..

I have no started on it again in its new home:





Last night the wiring was finally all stripped out, the heater box under the dash was removed, rear strut & rear bumper:







Next is to get the boot off, doors removed and carpets, oh and the fuel tank then its off for some media blasting!

I'll up-date as I can and try not to miss anything .. commets and feed back welcome & thanks for looking!

The plan was to supercharge the puma engine, smooth the engine bay & deck it on the schmidt's ..

I have now sold most of the stuff I had for that to raise funds to do this insted!
