Just got this off ebay for £450 and its only done 30k from new with full history and then put a brand new set of ecos wheels on it so what to do next? my next thig to do is drop it 30mm but do i leave the engine as it is or do i put a rs2000 lump in it? i dont want to reck a car by doing the engine what do you think here are some pics for you

 

very nice mate i would not go with the rs2 lump tho. i would go for a zetec of some sort

 

Agree with the above about fitting a zetec. . .

Looks mint, not sure on the Escos wheels though. would look better on Mondeo wheels and you can go lower then

 

that looks mint

 

Ooooo thats very nice

IMO id stick it on 15'' steels slap a black top zetec turbo engine in and leave the body as is

 

removed

 

id take them wheels right off & put 13" revolutions or old style alloys

 

Does it not rub on them mate,i put 17s on mine and it rubbed its cock off!!

 

looks awesome

 

no leave as is get rid of alloys slap some clean pepers on drop it a little and leave it at that i would it looks to clean to start messing but its your car mate

 

I would remove the wheels on there now and put some revolutions on and lower it and thats it as it looks very clean

 

No its fine there is no rubbing at all

 

best colour, imho peppers, dropped 50mm, mk3 3i front spoiler, xr2 lump or zetec on a carb, nice simple reliable umphh

my old ghia was the same, started as a 1.1 but dropped a xr2 cvh on the 4 speed, and it went like fook up to 120 lol,

 

i like that

 

Looks very tidy mate

That looks lovely, not much needed on that for concours I reccon, have to say though I don't think wheels suit car IMO, would look better with XR2 "Pepperpots". I say go 2.0 Zetec only needs fabrication of the engine mounts and it's a straight swap just need to sort electronics out for it then.

Nice to see it still has original Ford ignition Leads and your switches to the right of the steering look in tact normally the plastic holder snaps.

Series one or RS 1600i wheels. Those Escort rims look terrible IMO

 

i would put in on a set of 13's so u can also retain an accurate speedo then lower it 50mm

and got for a 1600 crossflow out of a mk1 xr2 with some big throttle bodies.

 

I have a set of 15" 7 soft spokes dose anyone think they will look better on the fiesta? and take the Escos wheels off?

 

looks very clean that an zetec ftw

 

That's gorgeous mate, that engines mega clean.
Would swap the cossie wheels for something a little smaller though.

 

looks really clean

 

thanks fela, dearly missed she is

 

That is stunning condition.

 

my old one that ive just got back

 

looks clean that trev

 

Looks tidy that! Agree with the wheels, they don't suit it at all, look far too big!

 

This is what my brother has done to his Fiesta

From this



To this incl a Escort RS Turbo engine, big brakes etc

 

Looks mint mate

 

xr2 pepperpots and lowered about 50mm imo

 

a set of pepperpots for me ,i love the car by the way ,it really is mint

 

What a car for 450quid, mint condition love it.

 

Following a few other posts...

The wheels dont suit the car at all, fiesta pepperpots will look much better

you can't beat a clean lowered car on the right wheels

 

one word, MINT

 

yeah the cossie rims dont look right on there

 

looks proper clean, hard to get clean standard fordys up my way, id get rid of the escos wheels and fit a set of 7x13 minilights and slam it with slightly flared arches, zetec and a set of bike carbs....nice!

 

Very clean car, but as said get rid of the wheels, they make it look like a monster truck

Minilites etc etc, plenty of choice. Upto you but seeing as it's so clean I'd leave it standard, or do easily reversible mod's...

 

Im loving that car.I think the wheels look a bit to big on it.I sopose if your gonna lower it the wheels might look better.

 

looks clean apart from that spot of rust on the left back

 

old skool fiestas rule
