i picked up myself a lil mk3 fiesta as a runaround today gonna make a bit of a project of it though, probs make it a frst rep. its only a 1.1 but i wanted somthing nice and cheap on petrol.

first thing for it tomorow is debadge the bootlid, stick a turbo steering wheel on sort the rust around the filler cap and chuck on my dtm exhaust tip till i can go and get my peco back box for it.

anyway heres a few pics

SaqsS2turbo

COSSIE CAL

SaqsS2turbo

SaqsS2turbo

i got pics of some of them il dig them up really old and get em on here wen i can

GazzaG

nice fiezza there mate

put focus zeec alloys on it


i have a set for sale

rs nutta

gonna be getting front and rear turbo bumpers for it soon and need to sort out skirts and arches. gonna mod a 3i interior to fit it.
i think i may apint it white at somtime soon, i think thats a really decent color for these, especially with black wheels.

anyway few pics of what ive done today

this morning after i gave it a clean out and a few standard pics










then heres the bad bit, the rusty area round the filler cap, same as on all mk3 fez's


right then, thats all the standard pics done,

inside the car it had this crappy old radio and standard speakers in it which were too bad to listen to


so i grabed an old pioneer cd headunit and wired that in


next thing was the crappy speakers had to go, so i chucked in these lil kicker speakers there not great but better than standard


i couldnt live with the rusty rear panel so as a quick bodge i fibreglassed it up, will fill it ones i got some paint.
i started poking it about and those rust bubles turned into this


then with a quick coat of fibreglass it looks a bit better than holes in it, if i decide to keep it for a while as a spare car then ill cut that of on weld a new section in but it will do for now.


during the day i also debadged it completly, and started to buff the bonnet a bit but the sun was too bright for that.
bonet will need a bit of filler in the hole that ford cut under the badge, and i need to sort a load of dents on the bootlid






also cut down the massive arial to make myself a nice little one

COSSIE CAL

rsfido_1989

rs nutta

cheers, found out why my escorts been so slow since i got the new carb for it, on comparison i found that id bought a 1.1 webber carb not a xr3 one

rsfido_1989

oopz where ya ya get that from lol

rs nutta

from a breakers, it said fiesta mk3 on the side so i just asumed it would be the same as my xr3 one
i wanna build a efi angine up for it tho anyway

rsfido_1989

lol least ya got a spare for the fez :P cool gd luck with that.. iv had enuff with wiring on carbs.... i dread to think abt injection

COSSIE CAL

build a zetec for it

rs nutta

thats what i was thinking, i can afford to run a 1.6 zetec and my bros one aint bad. with a few mods they can make pretty decent power

COSSIE CAL

1.8 me thinks

keep it red as its a turb colour
and whats the point in wasting money on painting it
you could spend that money on mods instead

rs nutta

painting it cause its faded, gonna do it white, nice and easy to do and i like white fiesta's best

COSSIE CAL

do it yeloow mate,like saqs bonnet

rs nutta

nooooooo, not gonna be yellow

nout really to update aprt from this evening i found out the petrol gauge doesnt work, it said half tank went to the chippy then on the way back it ran out at the end of my road

rs nutta

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...4436&rd=1&rd=1

COSSIE CAL

paint it yellow,the intirior isnt different and get a 1.8

rs nutta

lol no i mean its better than what ive got atm cause all the cards are bubled up and the seats have got burns and stains all over em

and again im not doing it yellow

rs nutta

lol dont know whether i should be saying this lol buuut,
the stereo was too quite so i got my pair of goodmans home stereo speakers put em in the boot, but my only saving point for that is that i used some really nice fusion wire to wire em up.
