being as im gonna be spending alot of time on this forum from now on i thought id put a few pics up of my fiesta.

had it a very long time now and its been though many changes, this is in its current form, and i appreciate it wont be to everyones taste :








lexus lights/ stickers ect are long gone, runs on the plate A12BAG aswell now. reason the bonnet is off is simply because its being repaired ready for an upcoming show in rotterdam.

ive had a good few years on the show circuit but this winter my plans are to turn into into a track/fast road car. cage, stripped interior. huge stoppers and have some driving fun with the thing.



ill be posting a project/ build thread when i get chance


and before you ask, yes it is the car out of the golf advert, heres a pic of the filming..

 

Looks like it's had a lot of time and money spent on it! Stick a thread up in the projects section would like to watch the progress

 

I'll stick my kneck out- I like it!! I'll probs get abuse for thatm, but fuck it!! Stick a build thread up!

 

love the colour and styling, not a fan of the wheels or interior. lots of time and money spent top work.

 

Not a lover of the wheels but the rest I like a lot of work gone into that

 

I'd love it if it was a track car, i like the styling and engine, wheels and interior don't do it for me though,but good effort!

 

Forgot to mention in the thread, the next mod will be a wheel change.



Graphite grey escort cosworth wheels

 

Not usually a fan of anything other than standard bodywork, but I actually like this! And it makes a change for PF not to slate something different

EsCos wheels will set it off a treat!

 

First thing I thought.. Looks like the car from the Golf advert lol.

The funny thing is I always thought the car in the advert was a mk3 golf, even my mrs would say "but that is a golf isn't it" wondered why the advert made no sense

 

I've always recognised the car from the Golf advert as a Fiesta, the first pic of this thread and I recognised it straight away

Not my bag styling wise but its clearly had some top quality work go into it!

 

The engine they are looking at in the advert is not the same as the one in your car why is that?

 

I was gonna ask how it felt to have DOHC like a Golf when I first saw it.....

But I didn't realise it was the same one, just that it looked really similar!! There's a lot of work gone into it, but it's not my cuppa at all. Apart from the engine and colour, that's nice.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Chavtastic ! bit too OTT for me but nicely turned out ho and I like the wheels keep em as is ,they look cool an in keeping with the style of the car . ps how the fek do you deal with speed humps ?

 

I thought this too, the oil cap is in the wrong place for a Zetec!

 

they might not have wanted to use a ford engine in a VW advert?

 

I appreciate a lot work has gone in to it, but it's not my cup of tea.

Would like to see a resto thread of you turning it into a track car though

 

Looks like the engine bay shot in the advert is actually the engine bay of the Pulsar that is in this picture on the left.

 

Chavtastic!!...
Love it

 

nice motor, lil bit ott with bodykits but engine bay looks sweet

 

I thought the car in the VW advert was a golf lol.

It will look totally differnet when its done.

 

Cheers lads, yeah engine bay shot was the pulsar due to not being able to get enough light in mine, I like the way they digitally coloured the tops of his wings in the same as mine though lol

 

I really don't know why.. But I need to ask.. What wheels are they?

 

My god you've had this car for years, i remember the build thread over on FT.COM - its a well built car, not everyones taste but what was done was well done

 

Air ride dude

 

Surely its abot time we had more pics?

 

hidious but nice at the same time lol appreciate all the work gone into it

 

im taking it to its last show in its curent form next weekend so ill rab some pics

 

I really like it

 

TBh ive seen a hell of alot worse , its a fiesta so i wee bit of my heart likes it


how did u get that gig then being in the advert

a bit of fame on the site

 

I like air bag suspension.

 

Well done for building a car that is so recognisable. I actually like it but will look much better sat on escos wheels.

 

as said, considering how lairy it is it actually looks alright

much better than other cars you see with big kits that look utter shit

a change of wheels n that will look good mate, alot of work put into that

 

I love it! - i drive a sleeper but if i was going the chav route i would want the thing scraping off the ground with the biggest wheels and the most unique/ outragious look!

I know its not the batmobile or one of the bond cars etc, but its still been on TV and people recognise it, (its famous!) it would be a shame to change the appearance too much or undoo all the work that was done - effectively the car in the ad would no longer exist/ or it would be changed out of all recognition - perhaps you should base a "stripped out racer" on another car?

 

Always wondered what the car was in the advert! I thought it was a chavved up mk3 golf! Good to see it's a ford

 

I like it

 

Max power eat you heart out.

Can't. Help. But. Like. It.



Think that as its done properly and not rolled through Halfords window does help.

 

 

i like it, how many bhp is it with the nos, i like pulsars with a top mount turbo

 

saw this car at a dyno run by mallory park looks very detailed nice car in the flesh

 

as stated above, i took the car to 100% tuning in holland last weekend. was an awesome roadtrip and the fords went down really well! heres a few pics of the cars chosen to represent the u.k ( wont be to everyones tastes)










just had an email from a german show promotor inviting me to his event next summer on the u.k cars stand. very tempted to take the old ford!!
