Default Fiesta RS TURBO rebuild - FINISHED



was white then it was completly stripped down and painted red (inside and engine bay anyway)




all the abs gone and cross members etc all painted



doors and boot back on - you can see the new front wings and rear wings (mk3.5 wing added with updated filler cap)



clean box



everything on the car polybushed - new gmax suspension



engine back in







260mm mondeo brakes - braided lines



car was sat back down on the floor today

just needs to take a trip to the bodyshop for the touching up and painting

here we go - bodyshop pictures



if you fit pattern wings - be prepared on work on them a little bit.

they fitted great but they had some imperfections in the finish


went into primer tonight and should be painted by thursday


and the piper cam is now fitted (not run in yet)

Looking good - make sure you make a guard for the alternator becuase it is very close to the bottom radiator hose!!! - You don't want to loose all your coolant!!
