Default Budget Fiesta Track car!

Welcome to my project!

I sold my saph cossie after sitting in the garage for 2 years, as I didn't have the room due to moving house, and was never going to have the money to finish it to a standard I was happy with!

So bought this for peanuts!

It had a few things wrong with it, but the price was right!

Immediately I stripped it! Sound deadening, stereo, seats etc.

Put a new power steering pipe on.

Picked up a racing puma rear beam, as the wheel bearings and bushes has gone on the old beam, plus it was drums.

Rolled and cut what was left of the the rear arches, as with the discs and spacers, it's a bit wider. Then put the new arches on, will smooth smooth them at some point.
