A friend of mine offered me this fiesta for 150 quid so thought id take a punt on it.....it's previously been sprayed white and the underside is in real great shape! The back axle has been upgraded to a st and that's really all I know so far!

The main story is that he had a tiny (huge) leak from the dipstick and instead of the idiot taking it to be repaired for a fiver (o ring had gone) he decided to ignore It.....buy a hundred quid of oil, get banned and give up on the car totally and run it dry until it eventually gave up! Luckily it was out of fuel, unluckily the bottom end was Knocking like the local docks girls boots!

So I stripped the sump off (full of shrapnel) no.3 has alot of wear on the crank bit the rod has no wear. I took a chance on some 18 quid bearings as it seemed to take the play away, put it back toget her, fired up and.......still sounded like a tractor! Time to strip it 😆
