belter 1st car m8 not a bad looking motor really.

my 1st car was a red mk1 950cc fiesta with no floor and a dodgy mot
lasted 6 months and the engine melted into one big lump as the oil ways became blocked............ quality motoring ehhh?

yeh defo on the rst bonnet, gona get that front valance sorted first though, there is bubbles of rust popping up the rest of the car is pretty mint though, hopefully within a week or two ill have recaros in there becouse the seats that are in there are hopeless and i just slide of em will be paying a visit to powerflow for a cat-back system aswell with a 3.5" rolled out tailpipe (rolled out allways looks better on fords i reckon ) and thatll be that (well propley not) till next year

good effort. as far as im aware mate u cant buy em off shelf, rare as fook u see!!!!!!

i got mine from a good mate and yeah they look the dogs

u can mod these engines a litle mate but not too worth it unless its gonna be a keeper or watever.

how bout a cvh transplant???? they bolt straight in and with a slight mod on loom, an xr exhaust and a radiator u get much better performance and a smoother ride!!!

thats a tidy first car! youve done well there! Personally I would have left the bodywork as it was, lowered with alloys and clears.
Then just collected parts for a 2i conversion or even a mk2 XR2 conversion.
Must say it does look superb with the kit on though!
going to FITP?
