Wheels:-

Interior:-
? Nothing fits so still planing possibly use mk3.5 runners and find a set of leather recaros

Can't wait to get stuck in on this projects as fixing everyone else's cars are boring

 

Go mk4 fiestas!!! Deffo keep an eye on this, sounds like a great plan, would love to do something silmilar with mine. Best of luck with the build

 

Ive just fitted the 260mm front brakes off the mk2 mondeo.im just finishing up now.Im also fitting my 2 litre blacktop engine from the mondeo to the fiesta using the mondeo loom and pats,hope fully sorted by end of may june.Once running im gonna gather parts for a turbo conversion

 

There's not many around as a lot just go for the mk5 but it handles well so why not make it fun at the same time

 

I've seen a few of your posts here and there so be gud to see yours finished too

 

ye i bought mine cause it was cheap, and TBH I think the mk5 rusts more than the mk4 does with the examples I've seen.

 

All ive been doing is using the parts off my 2 litre mondeo lol ive spent no money yet.Im looking at using the mondeo servo and rear drums on the fiesta now

 

So how big a job is it sticking a zetec in one of these? Do the standard fiesta driveshafts work? Does the 2.0 zetec exhaust manifold fit the original fiesta system? What about things like the rad? Sorry to hijack the thread with my questions.

 

Gotta love a mk4 I'm doin one myself at the mo just stripped the underseal and surprised that I didn't find any rust lol, going to stick a pa lump in till I build a turbo lump

 

Quite a simple job really, it all depends on what you have on there in the first place as the zetec s has the exhaust coming out the rear of the engine where as the endura exhaust is at the front, they all have the O/S engine mount issue which is easily overcome, shafts are pretty generic on most of the FWD fords so depending on the box you use that's pretty straight forward too, the hardest part in the loom but if you've done a bit of wiring or have loom diagram of both fiesta and 2.0 zetec its a price of piss,
Just remember if you decide to change the flywheel make sure you get a cps to suit as the air gap is critical

 

It's funny that I think this era ford are the only ford not built out of reprocessed rust lol

 

I see, cheers for that

 

Your right there that's why I redoing the underside so it's doesn't rust for another few years lol

 

Lol I come to the rust issue when I turbo it

 

Lol it was a pain I the arse to get it off but it will be worth it in the end

 

I've got a little trick for that so I'm ok lol

 

cherry bomb

1.7 calipers soon to beaned up and painted

Z20LET pistons soon to be de-carbon'd and cleaned ready to machine for the 21mm/22mm gudgion(small end)


loads to do and soo little time

 

Its doable.I pick my gearbox up wednesday

 

I doubt the turbo engine will be ready for ford fair but the car will be.....

 

All you can do is try mate

 

If I can get it worthy enough to make people stop and look I'll be happy till the engine done, as every has done I don't want to rush the engine cos as soon as it goes in and running then time will fly

 

Just take your time mate

 

Just get a blonde with big tits on the bonnet everyone will stop then and it will be much cheaper than modding the car.

 

Be even better if she was fat too then I could send the coilovers back lol

 

Don't rush it mate because in the end you regret it, really need to put my project up lol

 

Yeh I know its hard not to though

 

A new way to lower cars, just fuck a fat bird!!!

 

Hahaha

 

Any updates mate?i pick up my diesel gearbox tonight front mount starter ib5 box

 

Cool toy.

 

Not yet still shopping ill post some more pics of my goodies I've bought

 

Good man

 

Any updates mate.I just need to order the clutch now this week and sort a engine mount out.I may just try and fabricate some thing tempory for now.

 

Looking forward to seeing how this project progresses.

 

Modify a fiesta mount to fit a focus mount

 

Hi mate I thought you fell off the planet lol.Yeah the mount looks easy enough.Ive been chopping more of my loom and to be honest there isn't a lot to it.Im left with just a hand full of wires now.Just got to tidy a few things up and im ready for the big swap

 

Any updates? Mate, put the stonechip on mine tommorow really need to stick some pics up lol also been busy buying( need to stop buying and start working on it lol)

 

No updates as of yet as I'm awaiting my coilovers which I had an issue with as there playing a big part to a big update

 

What happened in the end is he sending them out?
