ok. ive done it again and until some fucker nicks this one this is to be my new winter project. its a bog standard 1.1 rusty white fiesta. doesnt have a lot going for it to be honest apart from the engine runs really sweet and its totally original even down to the stereo. im the 3rd owner and its pretty much got full history

But none of that matters as hopefully this weekend (weather permitting)ill be ripping the lump out and with the help of saqs2rsturbo we will be putting in a 1.6 cvh xr2 lump

not gonna do a lot bodywise apart from tidy it up and give it a lick of paint as i want this to be a sleeper, mainly for the fun factor but also it looks less appealing to robbing theiving pikeys

well, done a bit today, not so much to this but we stripped the 1.6 out of saqs fiesta(wel luke89's) fiesta anyway. got a bit dark so we didnt have anytime to fit the lump into mine

on the plus side it means that i got a week to clean up the block etc and get it all looking sexy lol.

also found a few more bits of rust like on the front panel

I reckon bodywise its gonna need new sills both sides, a new front panel, a new bonnet and maybe a filler cap repair panel as its not that bad tbh.

Then all i plan to do is lower it on a set of 15's. not too sure what yet but it will be as low as my frst in my sig then give it a repaint and keep it looking very very subtle
