looking around on the net for an RS in similar condition to this but can't seem to find one to work out price. Not an advertisement just trying to work out how much money will need spending on it to put it right.

Needs a wing, and bodywork sorting as there's one or two bubbles coming through, may need a passenger side cill either replacing or welding.

Engine has been rebuilt using new pistons & rings, crank polished, new bearings and seals, new oil pump, water pump, reconned head, rebuilt turbo, stainless exhaust and running OFAB Management.

How much is it worth as it is to break or put back on the road?

 

I supose it depends if you can do alot of on it yourself, like welding and cuting out rust and puting new metal in. It looks a nice car, but then you could say to your self sod it rip it pieces sell it all and make a little profit on it. but just means your drive looks like a scrapers, but as for a rough figer the parts like wing an cills dont cost much i rekon 50 to 70 quid would buy new including a repair panel for the petrol cap asuming its rusting ther, but i have brought worse back to life.

 

If it has no tax and test then its worth maybe £600 thats if the interior is okay aswell, when these are good they bring the money but when their bad their worth fuck all personally it looks like a breaker.

 

is that it, is that all thats wrong with it?

if so you damn right its worth putting back on road.
as above, wings ar cheap, so are the filler repair panels, but a pattern part filler repair panel will be crap, so try and find a good fiesta in scrappy and cut the back part off that.

wings are easy to change, if you have a welder, but you can hire them.
spraying is different, i would recommend a body shop for that unless you know how to do it and have a place for it.

the sill is nothing, there cheap as chips to buy, but if ya want, cut out old rusty bit and weld in a bit of metal, good enough.

you got to ask your self what you feel better doing, if patching it is ok with you do that, if its a new seal (which is harder work) do that.

find out what bits need doing, call a few body shops, tell them your thinking of buying this car but how much roughly will you be looking at for them to do work.
find a back street place and call them there be cheaper, but remember, in most cases you get what you pay for, this inc cars, if you buy it for penuts dont expect a half minter.

as for price on this car, if it has not T+T i would pay more than £300 unless the guy took it to aMOT garge for a mot, even if it failed i would want a fail sheet, but not more than £500 tbh

however if it only failed a MOT on the sill say, then it could be worth more to you, but price up repairs, make sure you have a fail sheet for mot (if it hasnt mot) and price in to put that right, look at what money you got to spend and go from there.
only you can truly decide what its worth but dont pay even low book price for it if it hasnt a MOT.


defo worth putting back on road IMO, but then i can do all work my self so would be cheap for me.
if you do get it to break it let me know mate.

 

Thanks for the replies. I can do all of the work myself as i have a welder and somewhere to paint it. For what its gonne cost to put it back on the road I think I'm gonna do it.

 

Be nice to see one saved as so many get broken these days and the cars get rarer as a consequence. If it's within your means get her sorted and enjoy it. Love my FRST to bits

 

if you can do it all ya self fucking go for it mate.

there is a pair of fiesta mk3 wings for sale on FT.com, gen ford, the pair for £50, collection though
