Default Fiesta turbo project (20/11/06)

Well seeing as im taking a new approach to my fiesta i thought i'd start a new thread

i bought a black fiesta rs turbo when i was 18 as my first car soon after buying the car the problems began a 2 years later i ended up scrapping the shell and buying a 1.6s shell and swapping the lot over after leaving the car standing for over a year now ive decided to do sumthing with it as i've now got a garage to work in

so the plan is to build a mint rot free fiesta shell at first then i will decide on the rest of the spec i have a rough idea on spec i know i want coilovers, big brakes, new wheels (escort cossy or comp mo's) a vertical core single pass intercooler, new management and engine but as i said i will decide spec closer to the time

im not setting a time limit as its taken me too long as it is however i would like a mint rot free shell with interior fitted by summer 2007

heres a few pics to show whats gone on with the car (i apoligize for the quality of some pics lol)























now for the low quality strip down (phone cam) pics from yesterday









thanks for looking comments welcome
