hi peeps how are you all doing?

ive just got hold of this lovely little fiesta xr2 for a steal

heres the quick story

one of my mates (the previous owner) lost his licence due to racing an undercover police car 5 years ago and since has never got round to getting it back and now has lost interest but he always wanted to keep the car locked in time in his garage, but lately he needed some money in his pocket and asked me if i wanted to buy his car as ive always wanted it and without seeing it (gamble i know) offered him a rather low price and to my surprise he took it, but he did want to keep the wheels, clear lights and head unit,

that didnt matter to me because the wheel were some 15" bk racing shite things and it looked shite with the clear lights and indicators and i have my own head unit

the day i went to get it was a happy day for me and a bad one for him!!!

Wee pulle dthe car out into the sunlight for the first time in 5 years and apart from being very dusty it was very clean and nice, so i got to fitting the standard wheels (which i had to pump up individually with a foot pump) and also fitted the standard lights and indicators which made it look 100 times better. i then fitted a new battery and put some new fuel in it (i got 8 fucking quid in one gerry can) put some fuel down the top of the carb and she fired up first time. but it pissed on my fire works as it was pissing fuel out of the pump from the little breather hole and i had an mot booked for that day. As i only had a one day insurance cover i had to get it back to my house and i only live 2 mins away so i limped it home and in the morning i started it again and checked it and to my surprise it had stoped leaking even though id bought a new pump one ebay the previous night. so mot was arranged and i got the insurance sorted and it passed with no advisorys!!!! so enough babbling heres some pics















unfortunatly i didnt get pics of before i washed and polished it but its not bad for 800quid is it!!!!!

underside is mint and original and has never been welded and dont need it either!! the only uprated part is the spax sus and the only rot is the battery tray which i will replace and it has some surface rust in the engine bay and under the lights which i will sort out asap, also the engine bay could do with a spruce up















so what do you think????? ive always wanted a mk2 and now ive finally got one and a good one too!!!!
