Fiesta_Jed

Hi, my name is jed and I am 16 years old, A few weeks ago me and my dad travlled from fife to stoke on trent to collect A mk2 fiesta1.1 popular plus in rosso red.

Here are some pictures of the car on the trailer once we got down there.





And some pics one we got it back home.





First thing we got rid of was the wheel trims and that black stripe down the side.







The following week I cleaned underneath the car and in the arches





Had the car on a ramp for waxoil. We found some rust



Here is a pic of the inner sill





and a pic of the inner wing



I bought a RST interior this week, The passenger seat is good





That will be the new drivers seat.

The old drivers seat is in a pretty poor condition so will be used to retrim the doorcards.





I also had it detailed.







Eventually the car will be turbocharged, porbaly spooled by a zetec.

I refuse to cut the front panel to fit an intercooler so the turbo shall be mounted here.

That has to be the cleanest mk2 I've seen for a long time. Surely there are better ways around sorting the space issue than rear mounting the turbo?

Thats one clean/solid car.

Nice little car for your first project.

I would have prefered a mk3/4 escort but there impossible to find
It is!

A rear mounted turbo is that much of a problem, it seemed to be the best option i could think off

Thanks

Clean car mate, look forward to following this

Its definitely a clean shell

A Cossie turbo and a thin front mount fan will sort the clearance issues at the front. Its not that hard when you get into it. Just take your time

ZetecNology

Wish my inner sills and rear arches looked like that on the xr2 lol. Cracking buy fella, mind if i ask how much moolars you payed for her?

Fiesta_Jed

Thanks
I have thought of anouther solution for the intercooler, I will see if it will fit next time im out at the car.

Its going to be a long project so nothing will be rushed.

The waxoil was the first thing we did.

THanks

any pics of said s2 lol

Fiesta_Jed

You have probaly gathered from my username i was the one emailing you today . I only took that photo to see what peoples reaction would be (although i did research it and considor a remote mounted turbo).

I have though of a much simpler solution

Dont know if you remember but you set up the s2 in the pics above and below.

yes

PileOfRust

looks like a v-nice car great buy!!

+1 on people saying not to mount the turbo at the back, there are other ways to get around it

good luck with it all

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Very tidy Fiesta and i've admired that S2 at a few shows/meets now - lovely car.

Best of luck with the project and welcome to PF fellow Fifer

Fiesta_Jed

You have a gold mk4 escort with an st170 engine?

What meets have you seen it at knockhill?

atomicmk2

nice find m8

Fiesta_Jed

Any body know if i can get a diff like this for a fwd car?

Fiesta_Jed

Well today I collected my new drivers seat.



I got exited and decide to fit it.

That ment dragging the car out its house



Here are some pics of the original interior





Swapping the runners from the stock seat to the recaro should have been an easy job.

However since I was trying to do it in the drivers footwell while it was raining and dark it was tricky.

I got there in the end.



I also got some pics of the engine, all 55bhp of it.





I will fit the passenger recaro next week.

Silver'Scort

Right tidy old stick that kiddo, good buy Can't beat that for a cool first car

boost monster

That looks really good condition for a drivers seat; or is it a passenger seat?

One nice fiesta. I wouldn"t rear mount the turbo either would be too laggy LOL. Nice rst very 90"s rs alloys.

Fiesta_Jed

Thanks

You know that its a drivers seat.

Not going rearmount turbo now. Yes the alloys on the escort are very rare.

luke19790_3

which engine you going to fit?

Fiesta_Jed

Ideally a duratec turbo however a simple zvh is appealing.

luke19790_3

insurance company will love you

basic zetec/ib5 would be a easy option

Fiesta_Jed

Wont be for a few years yet

Nice little project there

colarado red

Nice find.Look forward to seeing this project finished.

Fiesta_Jed

I went too fit the other recaro today and i discovered that I have two different doorcards





I am now looking for a pair of grey mk2 doorcards, the ones with no pattern on them just grey vinyl. If any one has them PM me.

I did get the seat fitted aswell.







I also got one of my wheels back from sand blasting.

LIMITLESS

looking good fella

iHazzz

lovely car mate, if i didnt have my mind set on a mk3 escort i would deffinately be getting a mk2 fiesta myself.

Zetecfiesta

very nice car!

Fiesta_Jed

Last week I bought a pair of the door cards that I wanted, So I fitted them today

Before



After





To begin with I wanted xr2 door cards but I started to like the very basic look the interior would have with poverty spec door cards.

These were the best ones as they have no pattern on them to clash with the seats.

I tried to fit A RS 3 spoke steering wheel with a mk3 fiesta boss after reading that it might fit.

But it didnt





If ANYONE has the correct boss to fit a rs steering wheel to a mk2 fiesta please get in touch ASAP.
