Default Fiesta mk1 project rear wheel drive
Hey everyone!!

MY PROJECT IS A FIESTA MK1!!

It's about time i put my pics on here and start getting everything I need to make some progress!

But first I'll show you what I have!!



In this Pic I have taken off a stainless steel plate that weighed loads!!!!!!!!











The only problem with the car is that a previous owner had under steered into a curb and as you can see it's twisted!!





When i first got the car a started tracing some of the wires and managed to find a 12volt reversing alarm! WTF!!! who needs a reversing alarm in a car that small!!! Couldn't stop laughing when i found it!



Now for the Engine that I'm using!!!





CA18 DET FROM A 200SX, AND I HAVE ALREADY GOT A GARRETT T28 TURBO FOR IT!





I HAVE ALSO GOT 2 CORBEAU ADJUSTABLE BUCKET SEATS WHICH ARE BEING RE UPHOLSTERED WITH BLACK FABRIC AND SILVER STITCHING!!



SO THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, BUT I DO NEED SOME PARTS SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY OF THESE FOR SALE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

1. FORD ESCORT MK2 REAR AXLE!
2. FIESTA SUPERSPORT BUMPERS
3. SUPERSPORT WHEELS
