mK1 FIESTA resto, Aldon Blueprinted XR2 engine purchased.:D

m4tt274 · 11-08-2009, 04:52 PM

i paid £900 for it with 12months MOT and 3 months tax. with i think is fair and the old boy who owned it has had it serviced when needed and garaged it all its life. done 40,000 miles and its pretty tidy in my opinion. it was also undersealed from new and the service history is all there

the first thing i did was jack it up and have alook what the inner arches looked like.

there is a tiny bit of rust coming through on the rear arches as can be seen in the pics. ive now taken all the rear suspension off and all appears to be in good condition just dirty although the rear dampers are shot and the brake cylinders are past best haha

Nice one mate thats well mint.Have you still got them alloys in the first few pics.

in the first 2 pics the wheel thats balanced against the front wheel is a 15' Ronal. i have the full set of those but arent going to put them on.
i have bought some new 13' minilites that are photographed about half way down the thread that are going on it.
