Hi all, i joined up ages ago and started a thread in the general discussion section (For some reason) :? So i might aswell put my project thread up in this section.

This is my first car... Ford Fiesta Mk3 1.1 Classic. Got it for £100. :top:

There was a fair bit of rust... on one of the arches and the rear has abit of it, but i will get it sorted. Bought a new arch panel so getting that welded on. :grin:

First of all i went threw a max power phase, D.I.Y black tinted rear lights, pressed german plates, stickers. HAHA! But then i got rid of all those stupid parts and started again...

Purchased:
-Red rear lights.
-Banded steel wheels, 14x7.
-Front Rs accessory bumper, brand new from factory.
-I fitted a mk4 standard rear bumper.
-Smooth boot, with rsturbo spoiler.
-12" Custom sub-box.

Heres some pics of the parts and how she looks now. :top:

Basically its all a work in progress project at the moment, going for the eurostyle look. Must admit theres nothing euro about it yet but i have loads and loads of plans...

Plans:
-New wheels: Lenso BSX Wheels (Silver) 15x8.
-Going to smooth my front bumper (Number Plate Recess)
-Cream Roof.
-Cream Rsturbo Recaro's.
-Coilovers. Probably Gaz One's.
-Slight Badboy Bonnet.
-Subtle Boot Install.

This all will come together soon. I just wanted to make something out of my first car, i wanna make it unique!

Thanks for reading. Comments & critisium welcome. :DD:

James.

Abit of progress...

Me and my mate adjusted the tappets to make the engine sound better, but not much difference, theres still abit of a noise!

Also bought some other stuff...
-New standard black dash bits, to replace the crappy cream ones.
-New number plates.
-New rocker cover to replace the dirty/old one. Im thinking mirror polished? Haha

Started to smooth the bumper...
