Default mk1 fiesta rwd zx12r powered

Hi pretty new on here so i thought i would so you my project pretty much the same as rwd lynch's fiesta but with my own twist .

So i brought the car last weekend of ebay as a non runner needing new wings and i already had the engine and loom from a 2000 zx12r fi Only had 2000 miles on the clock.

As soon as i got the car back work started so i completely strip the car down and took the wings off ill let the pics do the talking

I used to have a Mk1 that colour in the mid 90's

Good luck with the project, will be keeping a close eye on it!

Like the van too, I'm currently searching for a decent connect SWB T220, has been difficult wading through the crap tbh........

Small update this week i have finished the inner wing, welded sum thicker plates for the roll cage to bolt to as it seemed a little bit too much flex,
two new sills ,cut the floor out, next to do is the build the rest off the roll cage and frame will keep everyone updated
