Default The fiesta 1.1 to 2.0 zetec conversion/restro

I've gone from a volvo c70 t5-R 300bhp to a fiesta 1.1 lol but the genius behind my plan is I'm completely rebuilding it into a fiesta rs 2000cc (mondeo silver top engine not escort)

heres it at the start







First thing I did was get the bumpers on for a test fit.



then the sideskirts and the wings



I'm happy with the look and I'm going for a sliver from audi's range. Can't remember the name but its GORG!

Kits coming off today for rust treating going to remove all rust and fill where needed

Picked up some bits today.

Got some 15" escort gti alloys to go on
60mm drop springs
escort gti dash with lights and loom
escort gti half leather interior
scorpion 3" exhaust back box.

Things to buy:

Silver top engine
Box
ecu and looms
engine/box mounts
fuel pump and tank
all ancineries

Sorry I haven't replied before, I've been a bit busy and I am not at home where I have the engine mounts. I will be up there at the weekend if you still want them?
