Default My New Car!! MK2 FIESTA!!....UPDATE

Ever since my escort was written off, ive wanted either a mk1 or mk2 fiesta, and this one came along on ebay. I looked, and it was only down the road!! Its only a 950cc, lol, but it doesnt feel that much slower than my scort did, if at all. Its got 50k on the clock, with loads of MOTs to prove it! 3 owners, 12 months MOT, and even the original receipt of purchase!

It's pretty mint, little bit of rust on the rear arches, but nothin at all major.





Got my recaros in there aswell


Got a few plans for the near future, mainly just to keep it mint, get rid of any rust thats anywhere, which shud only take me the best part of a day anyway, and just clear indicators, alloys and lower it!

I'm pleased anyway

Try and find a smacked up XR2 in a scrappy. Then you can swap alot of the good bits over. (Like a dashboard that isnt so basic it has no glovebox ) Lower it by about a foot and stick some 13" pepperpots and you'll be laughing. Cheap and reliable.

The old OHV lumps are virtually nuclear war proof!

Do some photoshopping. You seem pretty good at it. Personally wouldnt get XR" skirts or arches. Go for a more "euro" look. Clean and simple.

Right, the cars looking a lot nicer now

Put my 14" lattice alloys on it
Debadged the front
Clear side repeaters
Meshed the front grill bit- Not too sure on it myself, might get rid

Lots more to come

I'll get some piccys up 2morro- 2 alloys are dark grey, the other 2 are silver, I can't decide, so i'll see what you peeps think
and also see what u think about the bit of mesh
