Right after alittle bit of arm twisting Porkie thinks i should post up my rebuild pictures. right its a 1.4 class b fiesta championship car, i brought it in 2002 off of Maxi jazz (lead singer from faithless) this is how it looked in 2000 and then when i brought it in 2002, sorry about some of the pic sizes!


So i striped it down and changed the colour

Got bored of that so sprayed it again


then midway through the year i got bored of that colour so thought i'd reshape it!


the next race was 2 weeks later so repanelled it



Got bored of that so changed the front end

Raced in those colours for about 2 races

Then changed the grey to imperial ble

Didnt even get raced like that only did bedford then changed it again

then whilst leading my class i got hit by a div in a slow 1800cc!!! Which span me into 2nd place man in my class (Dan Rose) killing both our cars!!


Didnt look to bad but over the years the shell was past it! So time for a new car, was on a tight budget so used the cage from this car


Brought a 1.3 road car for £200 and stripped that

Welded the cage into it

Spent ages rubbing down the underneath and painting it


Then painted the inside

Then rewired the car

Smoothed the dash off

Sprayed it semi gloss white and imperial ble

Engine in

Rolling at last

Abit of primer

Top coat and tinted the clear rear lights with a red pearl

Getting there

In memory of the old car i've done the stripes the same colours






and how it looks today
