The car is in quite bad condition there mate, i would say to you instead of trying to conquer that particular car i would have saved the pennys you have spent on panels etc and bought a solid shelled xr2. They are hard to find i no that from experiance but holding out for the right one has never proved me wrong. With regards to turbo'n them its a doddle and handling will not be lost, just put a set of decent performance shocks and springs on the car and show them saxos how to go on. Side opening bonnet will be great modification and something diffrent which is always good. They really are excellent cars with the right set up can match anything around the streets. Goodluck mate iam glad you chose the mk2 fiesta to play with cos there aint many left now.
