Default Fiesta Turbo Re Shell (Swampy Mk2)

Fiesta Turbo Re Shell (Swampy Mk2)



It about time I made a thread about the rot box that is the better half FRST.

Was purchased a year from a lovely girl in weston for a very reasonable price came with T3 conversion Beiges AVO coilovers but a leaking water pump.

As purchased


Anyway she ran it for abit turbo started smoking so time for a replacement (i just happened to have one lying around lol)




On further investigation rust started to appear

It doesnt look much but it is really quite extensive and from the name it become very wet inside on a great british day. So much so that my cabby is more water tight than hers!!

Anyway a donor car was sourced was a steal £450 from a man off EBay its only had a handful of owners 71k on the clock and mintier than mint.
