Default rwd mk2 fiesta

i had my mk2 xr2 car for around a year then fitted a 1.8 zetec 130 bhp with bike throttle boddies run by megasquirt. my plans were then to hillclimb it, but after finishing it a decided i wanted something different so the pictures below will show what i done so far, sorry about the amount and order of some of the photos ive quite a lot of them



with no jig i needed to find where to put the crossmemeber so after a while of measuring i came up with this


then mocked up a new inner wing to get rough measurments



then out came the grinder





then welded in new inner wings





then decided i wanted it to look like a mk1 fiesta with big arches so off with the front



and on with the mk1 the wings arent welded yet but soon will be



and also made a few rust repairs behind the wings











started to put a tunnel in it for the box and have removed the mk2 scuttle for the mk1 ive got and this is how it sits now, ive got mk2 suspension for the front and rear so hopfully should handle ok, ill be using compression struts not sure wether to use a roll bar as wel or maybe a roll bar on its own but ive plenty of time to think about it











my struts before and after





hope you all like it so far should be back out to it soon ive hurt my back so havent been out to it in a few weeks but hopfully get out soon
