hi everyone. after having a few years off from fords i am now back with 1995 fiesta azura having rebuilt a 1972 mini clubman gt from scratch and also having a couple of golf vr6s i have decided to go back to my first love of fords. so recently bought this fiesta currently a 1.1 the plan was just to use it as a cheap run around, proving that it can do 50mpg! but being a bit of a speed demon i am yearning for that grin factor so although i havnt quite decided what to do engine wise i do know i want around 200bhp. i dont know whether to keep it as a bit of a sleeper or go for an rs1800/rs turbo replica? all comments ideas welcome some pics to follow

 

 

 

The money you will spend on a replica you will be always better off just buying an original car however sleepers are always fun ;p

 

body work wise there are very few issues, couple of small scabs nothing major underneath is absolutely immaculate never been welded and only 54k miles from new. so a good base. done my first mods being rs ecort alloys which were an ebay bargain for £50 with legal tyres too also threw some lowering springs on it which has iven it a better stance

 

i know this is the thing,, its exactly why ive started a thread get some ideas, plus ive always fancied a sleeper. closest thing i had was my mini which was 120bhp and battleship grey was fun at lights

 

also this only cost me 400£. got 12months mot 6months tax on it and costs me 185£ insurance for the year. ive also managed to get a genuine rsturbo bodykit in great condition for 30£

 

sleeper lol

 

looks a good shell mate to start with sleepers look good but a nice colour with turbo kit looks good too

 

i am stuck with what to do i really like the look of rs and i already have the bodykit which just needs painting(which i will do myself) main thing i want to do first is engine. so ill be looking on here for inspiration
