Default s2 Turbo

After selling my fiesta turbo 2 years ago and buying a normal car i realised what a mistake i made!!!!! So it was time for a new project





Bought the car off a mate i knew it needed some proper tlc to get it back to the way i wanted it!!!

Straight away i wanted the car to look like mine so i got my mate to start doing me a new bumper so i could fit a front mount intercooler. I opted to go for Pro-Series AIRTEC in matt black as i thought it would go well against the white car.
















Then it was time for the new bumper to go on






When i bought the car i knew it needed a battery tray and fuse box due to the dreaded old rust. witch i tried to put off as long as i could as i was not looking forward to striping it all down! Or getting my mates to do it. Really glad i did now cos what i started to see was the rust spreading else where so of she went to get fixed


Well pleased with the reflective numberplate have that speed cameras




Striped back the inside revealing all this rust

















This will be why my seat was pissed



As you all can see it was quite bad!!!

love your bumper modification! but that's a lot of crusty rusty you've got there! hope it turned out alright...

after seeing your car i think I'm going to get some orange indicators as well, they look quite nice on a white escort.
