here is my budget fiesta its a 1.1 with 38k on the clock
got it cheap as a work/budget project car

 

What are you plans for it?? RST/XR2i replica??

 

how did you guess!

 

Looks a good starting point for a project


Brian

 

just got some 2i bumpers from the local scrappy Ł35 for the pair:singing:

 

nice its gonna be good, now wheels you need the some new wheels

 

I vote Escort RST Alloys rather than Fiesta RST Alloys!!

 

no need as ive been out and bought a set of cossie style 16's with 195/45/16 tyres

and a set of escort rst recaros

so if anyone knows of a early xr2i rear seat let me know

 

Can't wait to see some more of this project.

Ive just been given a 1.1 sapphire m reg cayman blue,its a bit battered as its been used as a builders car. At the mo i'm just going to use it for work too,but i've given it a good clean. It will save me putting milage on my rs1800

what sort of wheels ,engine have you got planed for yours?
I've got to say it looks minty clean too, looks like a school run car or grandads car.

 

now thats clean!! i had a 5 door in that colour it didnt last long after some propper off roading

best of luck

 

been busy this afternoon fitted my brakes,wheels,bumpers and the other seat.
dont worry about anything being painted up though as im just assembling all the bits then im thinking about a budget paint job on the full car.
not sure what colour yet though
std caliper

mondeo caliper

std tiny solid disc

mondeo disc

16 fitted

front bumper fitted

rear bumper fitted

setas fitted

how it looks now

 

 

Umm. Needs skirts, arches and the bumpers spraying to really finish off the exterior. Qualty stuff though of what you have done.

EDIT: Another thing, where those Calipers and Discs just bolt on??

Dave

 

Coming along nicely now.

Wheels really set it off too..

 

needs lowering but does look good

 

Looking good Steve

 

nice mate i done the exact same with my old fiesta popular same colour aswel but ended up with a 155bhp carbed up zvh engine

 

as i said im just fitting all the parts up until i have every thing then intend on giving the car a full paint job havnt decided whether i should leave it this colour or go white,black or matt black?

front brake go on with minor mods
first you have to drill the bolt holes on the hub out to 12mm as the new caliper uses bigger bolts,
then cut those bolts down a bit as they are too long,
then they just bolt straight on!
its exactly the same as when you fit st170 calipers,
of which i originally wanted but couldnt get hold of cheap enough!
will be lowered when some cheap suspension comes up

 

Looking good mate

Got a bargin with the bumpers i just paid Ł45 for only a front bumper


Brian

 

looking loads better already

 

cheers all
what colour do you think?
original
gloss black
matt black

 

Original or Gloss Black.

 

I reckon the original colour's quite nice,would be a bit different too.

 

Original

Was you on the A13 going towards pitsea at lunch time


Brian

 

no mate,dont know where that is but i live in a village halfway between doncaster and scunthorpe,n lincs
and the fiesta hasnt left the drive for a couple of days as ive been using my focus

 

don't those 16's rub like a bitch?

 

no cause i fitted 195/45/16 tyres

 

cool little project u got mate,hows the focus comin on?

 

Cool

Only i saw a fiesta the same as yours same bumpers colours the lot lol


Brian

 

focus needs parts painting,but the weathers to bad for that as i dont have a garage
will be more updates on that in a month or so
this is just something to do in the mean time

 

just a small update i painted my front hubs/brakes etc
and hopefully getting a cheap suspension kit,just waiting for the phone call about it

 

looking good

 

Alrite m8. would you be interested in a turbo engine for your beast email me if u r. andrew_brown_61@msn.com

 

no thanks mate its stayingas a 1.1 for now
ive got my focus if i need power

 

can you give me a pm if you find out about the "cheap suspension kit" cos I am always after cheap suspension

 

Looking good


Brian

 

cool project. looks like your making good progress

 

Gettin along nicely. Are you kitting a full suspension kit or just springs because it could be worthwile fitting XR2i Shocks if it's only springs.

Dave

 

gunna fit complete kit but my cheap stuff fell through
gunna just watch the bay and see what turns up

 

I was gonna say because the standard 1.1 shocks are pants.
