Default My project fiesta...........

as i bought her back in october 2005 for £100, earnt itself allrready in spare parts for the road car









as she stands now, im slowly removing the engine its my first broject first time doing most work so getting the engine out is long and time consuming that usually ends up with me throwing tools around and kicking the doors aka. stress panels



its a pretty solid 1979 1.1L






ideal finished product will be a fast drag car RWD with a non ford turbocharged power plant

lives up kinver edge, be aware theres a large volvo meet there about the 20th, and theres allways a little outing to local rounderbouts and the like unfortunatly i cant make it this year


a little snippet from last years meet the 960 got extremly sideways as did the 940 wagon to the left of it, just out of shot isd a silver 740 turbo and theres a small group of us to the right of the fiesta crowded round a very noisey twin carb'd 360
