2.0 Zetec mk1 fiesta

K P · 15-10-2008, 11:38 PM

Just thought Id share the story of my car since we recently did a fair amount of work on it

from the start.....

This is how the car looked up until a couple of months ago....

And a vid of the 0-60 at FF

Then it came off the road and the work began!

Cutting and welding.....

Engine Test fitted......

Modified cradle and gearbox bearer to clear exhaust and driveshaft....

End of sump cut off to clear bearer....

Engine In....

Home made downpipe until I can afford a propper system 8)

the carpark

And this is the car as it stands now

The spec of the new engine should bring it over the 200bhp mark and it really does go well

Hope you all like

Farmer Giles · 16-10-2008, 10:10 PM

Nice Mk1, lovely..

odd question, why are the wheels of the other car in the garage pixelated out ?? Just seems a real odd thing to do.

If it's private just tell me to F off....

Moonstone Mart · 16-10-2008, 10:29 PM

Great looking MK1 mate.
Whats the front lip and splitter off?

Mart.

Kelv · 17-10-2008, 01:51 AM

i think that looks fookin' awesome.

even just the first pictures i thought it look rock hard, the wheels suit its stance perfectly.

top marks

Fiesta_ie · 17-10-2008, 03:24 AM

nice project you got there

Garage19 · 17-10-2008, 09:25 AM

Very cool car!

One little recommendation though... before you do any more welding get yourself on a course at the local college or at least get a local profesional welder to give you a mornings worth of pointers.

Looks like you had too little currant or too much wire speed when you were welding up you chassis.

to be fair i did most of the welding (chassis leg cuouts), it looks messy because i built up te welds to increase strength

as always ,its the welds you dont see that end up being the best

the decision was made that the bay will be tidied in the future, so a flap wheel will sort it all out anyway

if you look at the welding in my mk4 build, you'll see what i'm capable of.

p.s. KP, car looks shit mate :P

just wish myn will look like that one day.

without sounding like a pain in the arse, wher did u get ur mirrors from?
also uv gone to xr2 round lights, before u had clear indicators.
if u still have them would be interested in selling?

K P · 24-04-2011, 09:34 AM

Never realised I hadnt updated this!

Engine bay was all sorted 2 years ago and the endine refitted- it went on to make 192bhp and run a 13.2 1/4 at santa pod, I then went to image and had a set of split rims made for the car!

fully rosejointed suspension

Engine bay finished

I then decided 18 months ago it was time for a change

Decided to go turbo with it, its nearly ready to be set up, heres where im up to with it all

Mk1-stu · 24-04-2011, 10:05 AM

i bet that goes like stink !! Makes me miss my old mk1 pop !
