Walking along in the middle of nowhere and see this stuck in the air. I was curious so investigated further.














Debating what it was with my mate. Looks like it had the roof cut off it at some point, possible accident? Can't see how it would have got there at all tbh. Found the tape inside it and put it on that drum!

 

Looks like a fiesta, 1.1 obviously looking at the block lol. Not clued up on fiestas so not sure what mark?

 

It's either a fiesta or mk3/4 escort

 

Mk3 fiesta

 

Mk3 Fiesta definitely.. Guess at a 1.1

 

I did think the mk3 fiesta due to the shaping in the wing and the scuttle! Mate was sayin not even food so cheers, backs my theory!

 

Yeah definitely a mk3 fiesta ohv

 

Looks to be LHD?! (Master cylinder on the left??)

 

Don't know if anything is worth salvaging off it tbh. Mate was considering selling bits off it. Only bits that looked okay were the calipers, drums, hubs and things like the rocker and exhaust manifold. Not a fiesta man but don't think theres much semand for rusty mk3 bits!

 

No all on the left side of the car.

 

Lol, clutch fork would probably come up alright with a lick of paint!

 

...And, how come the back end looks upside down and the fronts the right way up!?

 

Lol I thought that! Can't beleive what's happened to the bellhousing on it! Fallen to bits! Think there's still some meat on them pads and clutch if anyone wants them lol.

 

Shit, didn't see the bellhousing!!

 

I dont know tbh! Thought I took a picture of it side on! The whole car getting there is a mystery tbh, looks to me like its had a rear end crash at some point as the back sort of folded upon itself. plus there's a straight edge cut at the bottom of where the windscreen was. But the fact there is not one bit of plastic on the car, not even a clip, combined with the fire and rescue tape I pulled out suggests it was probably set alight whilst it was sat there if I had to guess.

 

Is there an access road / track / (cliff!) nearby for it to have got there?! Must of been some fire for it to have burned all plastics to nothing and melted the bellhousing....

 

There's a huge crop field next to it so Presuambly a tractor must have access thinking about it! But If it was put there 20 years ago I suppose there could have been a track of some type

 

That's been in a serious fire that wasn't put out for a long time! Bellohusing aluminium and brake pipes both look to have mostly melted away.

I'd guess it was burnt out by joyriders where you've found it.

 

The sad thing is that someone felt the need to take the wheels.

 

if roof cut and backend folded cut been serious accident (death) etc and could of been the farmers family put it there as a rememberence to said person then possibly set alite
