hi guys ive been on here a while never really posted much but for the last few months i have been working on a mk3 fiesta it started when i bought an xr2i that on the face of things looked fine until the bodykit was removed etc etc,

After deciding that the shell was a gonner i looked for another doner shell and came across a blue 1.1 pop plus in almost mint condition so i went down to milton keynes and drove it 200+ miles back and began stripping it.

heres a few pics







Then once it was all stripped i started taking parts off the xr2i i have and it went for paint.

this is the car as it stands atm i will add more pics of other bits in between when i get them my phone broke and i lost quite a few








Its on avo coilovers
mondeo mk3 brakes
comp th mono 15x8
and i am building a 2.1 zetec turbo

as i said now i have started i will add pics as i go and do my best to keep it updated

 

awesome looking car 99% sure you have my old wheels too !!



will be watching closely

 

cheers mate they came from newcastle i got them off ebay aparently the lad had a mk2 fiesta my mate picked them up for me so not sure who he was or anything. how badly did they scrub? lol

 

yes mate when i sold them they went on a white mk2 with a st170 engine in.. one wheel has some nasty marks in the face of it ..all my fault,when i bought them id just agreed a price,lent it up against a wall and the fucker rolled down the road and ended up face down

 

Looking good mate

haha yea they are the ones! im toying with the idea of powdercoating them.

did you have any issues with the 195 tyres on?

 

i had them fitted as they had semi slicks on when i bought them.i was using coilovers and had no issues. the only reason i sold them was the need for 16's as my engine was fitted lower than normal and i kept hitting the gearbox craddle on the road awesome wheels though

 

thats good then i thought i might of had issues and had to change them! my 300mm brakes fit perfectly behind them too so i was happy with that! i originally wanted cossies

 

Love the wheels mate

 

Nice...

 

cheers guys appreciate the comments! i need to get some pics up of my seats im sure people will like them

 

Looking good Hollyoaks!

 

cars looks lovely on those wheels matey , ill be keeping my eye out on this one

 

Alright si! U finished yours yet? Its been a long time coming?

 

That was a really clean shell! I think you should have kept it Wedgwood Blue though

 

Cool project.I hope you stick it out and dont get board with it.

 

Definatly sticking with it jus got the engine t build really now the rest of the car is 90% there. N yes the shell was really clean however the colour was crap lol

Cheers

 

not been posting much recently as ive not had much time to work on the car but me and my dad got cracking on the interior this week so here are some pics of the front seats that my dad has done for me, ive just fitted them and thought they looked cool








hope everyone likes them

 

this is going to be one clean fez,

it looks to have been well thought out, i love the recaros nice and simple and youve got's to love comps!

 

looks nice mate....

i got a zetec turbo in mine, i never thought i would do one untill i drove it, great repsonsive engine

i want your wheels though and the interior and flocked dash are nice touches

 

Nice looking car, not a fan on the Fiesta RS turbo decal though. It really lets the car down, a correct decal for what the car is would be so much better.

 

How much work is involved in converting the shell from an automatic to manual? Pedals and gearstick I assume?

 

Thats pretty much it mate nothing else.

As for the decal i think im going to have one made up sayin zetec turbo. I think it looks good tho so for the time being itl stay

 

Do you have to cut any metal or do they bolt straight in?

 

Like the trim!

 

No nothing needed cutting u jus need a grommet for the hole in the floor where the automatic gearlever goes through as its not needed on the manual one

 

Cheers mate

 

Here some pics of some bucket seats for my mates mk1 fiesta aswel




Not finished yet though

 

The Recaros look amazing as does the rest of the car

 

Cheers buddy.

 

Reminds me of a MK3 i saw on Stanceworks and that thing is immense. I have some serious work to do on my estate to get it looking how I want it to but for now it's just a work horse

 

This is the link to the MK3 I was talking about in the above post. I have a thing for proper 'stanced' cars and with this one being a mk3 its easy to say I have a lot of time for this motor

Cheers buddy i cant see a link in ther but id love to have a look

 

forgot the link lol its in now

 

Nice one il have a look at that when i can get to the computer cheers

 

Jus looked at it and now i wana sell my comps for aome cossies lol or else i wana make mine sit like that on the comps! Looks ace

 

Yes a Zetec Turbo decal would look good. More to the point it'll then be badged up to what the car is.

 

Yea i know what you mean then its not trying to be something its not. I jus had the decal there and couldnt help it it had to go on lol

 

Well its been a while since i posted anything on here and to be honest ive thought about selling up but i have been plodding along with the engine so heres some more pics

Gt28r


A few bits c20xe pistons arp studs acl bearings




Sump painted


Oil return fitted






And as some of you might hav noticed its a blacktop head on a silvertop block and after trying to find a way around running the cam belt i decided to copy someone off another forum by replacing the core plug with a solid one so i can drill and tap it allowing me to run the silvertop setup just need to make sure it wont fall out :S



Thats about it so far just been buying more parts so i have them when im ready
