This is my second dabble with fiestas! Previously had a white xr2, 18 mounts ago which went wayyyyyyyy over the top.
Tried to build a dream spec from the start without enough money, then the chance of being made redundant from work put the final nail in the coffin.
I sold EVERYTHING (massive regret!!) and put all the money away in a savings account.

Had no real intentions of getting back into it, but will a solid car came up for sale not to far away from me I couldn't turn it down!

Was a bit of a gamble buying the car, I knew it was 100% solid but it had a few problems, wasn't running right, no history, no logbook, no tax or mot..

This is when I bought the car ..



Solid shell but massively botched engine. Was running plastic inlet which hit brake bar, wiring loo everywhere, electrical tape holding wires together, and even an extension lead to wire up the fuel tank!!

Tried to get it running to no joy, then tried the RS1800 inlet and ecu route with no joy, before biting the bullet and buying Weber 40's and megajolt.

Cleaned the car up and sorted most of the issues now, just working my way through things.

Car passed MOT with only advisory on the tyres could have bought new tyres but I want to change the wheels soon.



Went for a drive upto Brecon with the Girlfriend last night so got some pics







Will keep this thread updated with the progression of the car, hope people like it, comments and criticism welcome :cool!:
