Advice needed with colour choice mk2 fiesta pics wanted
Hi all i am restoring a mk2 fiesta and need help deciding what colour to do my car any pics would be appreciated...
I am also doing a 1.8 zetec conversion with bike carbs. I have the engine etc. ready to go and all i need is the drivers side xr2 wishbone and i am having huge trouble finding one... I am living in Ireland and mk2 fiestas are very hard to come by never mind xr2s they are near impossible to find parts for over here.. Anybody know if there is a way around trying to get an xr2 wishbone??
And also the stance is 1 of my favourite things on a car. I took out the springs and dropped the car back down and i thought that looked great so thats what i am aiming for. The problem is i am on an extremely tight budget and i am getting paid 10-20 quid a week for helping out with my neighbours racehorses... My question is, what is the cheapest,legal way to slam my car that much??
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Andy

Hi mate,
Where abouts in Ireland are you from?
I'm up in Dub and theres a place called Cafco out near Blanchardstown that seem to be able to get any sort of part you need.
Also worth trying the regular motorfactors, particularly some of the Polish ones as they seem to be able to get some obscure parts too.
If you really want to stick with the second route theres a few xr2's for breaking on ebay at the minute.

Thanks for your reply. I am in Clonmel Co. Tipperary. I'll take a look at them now.
Thanks very much,

Sorry Andy just been thinking about this a bit more. was in a bit of a daze replying last time.
The Mk2 fiesta doesnt use a wishbone setup so you wont be able to get a wishbone for it..
It uses the track control arm and i think its a stabiliser rod to triangulate the hub so no wishbone is used..
