The new budget track fiesta
New budget track fiesta i bought it of Andy Bradford of passion ford. Got it for a bargain £250 & £50 for im to deliver it.The car is a fiesta mk3 1.3 cabaret classic with 1.8 zetec in. he had already fitted the engine but the car still needs fuel lines,radiator and down pipe.He also chucked in a brand new Ashley exhaust system,fiesta rs turbo discs and pads (new) drive shafts all interior witch is mint but wont be using it. here is a few pics.
Started to give the parts a lick of paint bit of ford frozen white & ford amparo blue.Painted inlet manifold & throttle body.rocker cover.strut top cups.
Fitted the Ashley exhaust today but still waiting for down pipe to come through the post.
Won a pair of fiesta RST recaro front seats with 4 point harnesses so waiting for them to come through the post aswell as my down pipe & radiator.Won a cross over pipe a week or so ago so went to see what it would look like on the car aswell as a omp strut brace.
Strut brace is going the ford Amparo blue and cross over pipe frozen white.
Now just waiting on parts so more updates soon.
