mk3 fiesta 4x4 cosworth update swedish plenum & turbo on
hay peeps kinda new here so thought id share my latest toy.
so here it is ugly little thing
so rwd 2ltr pinto twin 45 dellortos cage bucket seats alley fuel tank 15x8 wella wheels and the most hidious archs know to man lol.
all the chassis work seams to be spot on but i think stevie wonder and ray charls finished it of as every thing is half ased/bodged together.
so the plan is strip back to a shell and stat again, pull the pinto out and go cosworth yb 4x4

I actually think this is really cool - bit like the evo powered fiesta.
Do you guys have a workshop unit? Im looking for something local but cant find anything thats not either a normal garage or a massive 20 car unit!
