Been out of the scene for quite a while as I have been more interested in cars that don't break down lol. Having not long sold my e46 m3 I was looking for something else to keep me entertained.

Thats when I stumbled across this little black fiesta on ebay. She isn't mint by any standards but should hopefully turn out to be a decent daily driver although I won't be using it ever day.

Few pics of when I got it back to my unit.


Notice the fuse box hanging out.
This was basically because the little chavvy cunt who I bought the car off completely and utterly lied throughout the ebay listing. Luckily, I have managed to get some money back from him which will help out with the progress.
The day after I picked it up, I went for a blast up the road and it mis-fired and then cut out completely, after some frustration I managed to sort it by simply unplugging the chip and then plugging it back in.

The valve stem seals also need doing, can only assume it was warmed up enough prior to my collection so that it wasn't that evident at night.

I have already fitted a few bits that I have purchased and I also have a new headgasket kit and timing belt to go on along with the valve stem seals.

Couple of pics from today...



Plans are to get a decent suspension set up as it currently has koni's on the front and gaz coilovers on the rear. It needs to be a bit higher than it is.
Passenger door is crap and needs replacing. I have possibly found a set of green mouldings so these will be going on and I also want to get a complete set of new black silicone hoses for the engine bay.

Interior needs some tlc as the dash has a massive hole, the underlay is missing from the carpet and the door pulls have been painted black
