Default my mk1 fiesta

Thought i would share a few pictures of my fiesta.

1 owner, 28,000 miles, full history, every MOT, main dealer receipt when bought by original owner even the brochure he chose the car and spec from.

spec so far:

Gaz coilovers.
Alloy top mounts.
Up rated rear anti roll bar.
Poly bushed.
Rear strut brace.
XR2 cailpers.
Mondeo servo.
Grooved discs.
Green stuff pads.
Braided brake hoses.

Skinny bumpers, centre caps for wheels and XR2 clocks waiting to be fitted. 2.0 zetec on throttle bodies going in next year. when funds allow it.

Thanks for the good comments everyone. Its so good to be back in a ford after so many years..
This little mk1 is such a character and it goes around corners like nothing else ive ever owned. I cant believe i get more enjoyment driving this then i did my old cossie which i sold to cossiehelen about 7 years ago. A couple more pics before i put it back in the garage.

cheers Ross




my old cossie

Very very nice!

Too clean and original to mess about with, needs tucking away!
My opinion of course, but each to their own.

I can understand that. I was in to minds myself when I got mine as it was totally untouched and original....... But I couldn't leave it alone. Body work is gonna stay the same apart from the skinny bumpers and the interior, well xr2 dials and steering wheel is as far as I'm going. Oh and the stereo, but I've still got the uncut centre console and parcel shelf.

Cheers

Fair comment, I'm not into garage queens and believe a car is meant to be driven and appreciated for what it is, I bought it to be used.. But only in the dry, unless I get caught out.

Cheers

I'm not sure what the centre caps are off but they need a good rub down and spray..

Just thinking of buying some from here http://www.midlandwheels.com/
