fake escort cosworth & my fiat uno turbo
well il start by saying i hate fords, im a fiat guy but i wanted a cheap to run, mad looking run about, so a fake escort cosworth it was.
it is a crap replica but what you expect for £400? will do for me, i mainly joined cos im wanting a real front bumper for it, and maybe some wheels.
anyway, some pics-
ideas to make it a little less 'chav' like will be appricated, wheels are horrid as im sure most will agree.
and then some pics of my 'real' car
oh and the user name is cos my old car was a punto turbo diesel

I like the Fiat!! That looks a riot!!
As for that shonky escort, it needs wheels badly, low offset and wide as you can. Get rid of the queer rears for some red/smoked jobbies, ebay would be your best bet or check the parts for sale section here. Then ditch the chrome plate holder and it'll be better!

Bout 10 years back a mate called and told me his work mate had an uno turbo that was a non runner for 300 notes.
I declined, but my sisters fella said he would have a look, when the garage door opened I was gutted, stunning little uno turbo, tax and mot'd for 300 notes.
Made even worse, when we clocked a wire of the starter!!!! we dragged it home - didn't want to get it running incase the seller backed out of the deal once his car was fixed.
Attached the wire, but nothing??? after a day of searching, we found a load of grease in the ecu plug, cleaned it out and it fired straight up!!!
The thing felt like a rocket back then, was green with envy!!!

i didnt really think anyone would take much notice of that and get so offended, if so sorry but it often happens on fiat forum, we just ignore it cos obviously we all favour different makes, obviously mostly ford on here but im sure we have all owned different makes even if we arnt too keen on them, i do like this ford though, there ok, its just the common ness of them i dont like.

the wires are just for loads of stuff.... alarm, switched ignition, battery in boot so loads of wires going all over the place!, fog lights, fans etc, it does need a tidy up but im not too bothered really.
i took it off now, replaced it with pipercross.

Not bad for £400 that chap, can probably make some money back on the wheels, rear lights and front bumper, onto a proper bargain rep there!
Uno looks hardcore!
Absolutely love the interior shot, looks fucking ballistic quick just sat still!

how many cars are sold arnt how good they are, fords have never racked up that high but people still buy them cos they dont want to change, and fiat are doing well atm, sales are up by hell of alot, also fiat & ford are building cars together atm.
not wanting to argue cos thats not why i joined but i just had to say the above

PassionFord Post Whore!!

Fiat are also working with Vauxhall....they are working with anyone who will have them because they need all the help they can get European car of the year award? yay. Motorsport race wins, wanna talk about them?? Just about every Fiat that ive had to work on in nearly two decades in the motor trade have caused me grief. The build quality is shite, the ride quality is dated and the brand image is still nothing to shout about. Had the misfortune to work on a stupid little Siento (sp?) today....god awful contraption in every manner. People dont want to change? Its not the same people that have bought cars for the last 30+years In the mainstream market area, most of the sales stats are made up by lease sales....ie reps and commercial sales....lease companies dont just buy on what they've had in the past, they buy on what company offers the best deal and the best suited cars. Dont come onto a Ford site shouting the odds and expect an easy ride from all unless you've got something worthy to shout about

new ford ka is using fiat engines and fiat panda chassis.
and seicentos are really good to work on, so easy.
