Fiesta Rs turbo
Well the calling of an Rs turbo again finally beat me down so I bought a white frst. Decided to do something different this time as I had a nice series two before. Bought this example from a guy in Northampton which had a solid body and had been resprayed in the last two years or so. Needs a bit of tidying up but all manageable. Car is totally standard throughout apart from gaz coilovers and stainless steel exhaust. Cars covered about 89k documented.
Plans are to get a zvh in it for around 250bhp. Already started collecting parts for it and een down the scrap years this week and picked up a couple of bits that needed attention (my high standards).
I've purchased this weekend a zetec s mk5 rear beam for a rear disc conversion for better braking and some escort gti style alloys with a rare offset of 7j et35 16" alloys which I think will look great on the car in gunmetal/anthracite. Today I've been rubbing them down ready for primer and got a base cost on them ready for colour later this week.
Next on the list (apart from finding an engine) is to source some front brakes. A mate of mine Oli has so me cosworth front discs and calipers I might look into but think they are only single piston so not sure how good they will be.
I'll upload some photos in the next couple of days when I get to a laptop rather than my phone.
