My Fiesta RS Turbo :)
hello, thought i would whack some pics of my lil beast. 93,000 miles (although been ages since Ive seen the clock ha ha!)
These were taken prior to the lil T2 calling it a day and turning the car into a red arrow display on the way home lol. I wont bore you all with all the ins & outs of the car, fairly basic spec however since its been off the road since almost this time last year, its had all the rot taken care of and quite a few genuine panels put in place lol. It wont be concours,however it will be clean
Couple of pics from my dads mate who has done all the bodywork (legend!)
I have not seen the car in person yet since all the above bodywork has been done, but I know it will be mint
To be fair it wasnt that bad, just around the filler cap and front passenger arch, plus a few suprises were lurking as pictured above, but hey these things happen lol!
Am doing a T3 conversion on it and have amassed all the parts new - not particularily cheap this way but at least I know its all pukka. Will get some pics of the new stage 1 T3 when it arrives this week and of all the other bits as my dad and I put it back together over the next few weeks. Then my dads mate is gonna spray it (same colour) which he has assured me will be of a high standard
This arrived today which Iam chuffed with, the new stage 2 Airtec front mount i'cooler kit and I think it looks uber in black (i dont know how to do the cool face pic on here lol)
I have some mint door cards to go in it, I have searched for a mint set since I got the car as the drivers side one is fucked! Plus a proper mint original steering wheel and gear knob. Also I have managed to get hold of a brand new (still in packaging!) full green strip set which I think will look sweet on the fresh paint
Ive got numerous new ford parts such as clutch, header tank, engine/gearbox mounts etc to go in when we rebuild it and over the past couple of years its had loads of various genuine parts aswell as a full head rebuild inc kent 34 kit.
For now it will be run at stage 1 as I just want to get out in it and enjoy it over the summer, then perhaps swap the injectors, cossie fuel pump and get a bespoke chip.... not to mention the necessaries ie clutch lol!
More to come when the car arrives back at the garage next week and the fun part of making a T3 fit in a fizzy bay begins lol! Enjoy and comments are welcome, cheers Ben

New turbo arrived :)
Got these pics sent to me today, not 100% on the exact spec of the turbo as its just been built for me. Stage 1 i believe although for what i payed for it I am not worried
Also does anyone know if I can use the metal oil return pipe (what the rubber hose fits on) from my t2 on this? If not where can I get one from? cheers Ben.

wooo progress!
I cannot work out how to update my thread title but never mind.....
Progress thus far..........
Nicely modded exhaust and we managed to retain the flexi pipe
Does it fit lol! The system fits perfectly now and gives even more ground clearance so I may put some even shorter springs on it as it has koni shocks and chassis dynamics -25mm springs atm.
Mock fitted the T3, plumbed it all in and made the necessary alterations to get the new front mount intercooler in
I have plenty of room between the turbo and radiator which is nice as on some T3 converted fiesta's it looks rather close!
Car was then stripped down and pushed across the road to the bodyshop... I havent got any pics of it in primer on here but heres the paint, apologies for crap phone pics!
The bodyshop are going to stonechip the underneath then spray it mercury grey then seal it and refurb my standard alloys Really fancy some cossie rims but just want the car back on the road... Bodyshop is restudding my bodykit, refitting all rubbers, plastics and glass then its back across the road to the garage for it to be built back up & mot'd ( I will cry if it fails lol!)
Thats all for now, comments welcome.

Car is on the road and drives sooo much better on the T3 than T2, cannot beleive the difference!
Took a couple of crap phone pics. The car is not particulary clean in the pics but hey ho, I also may clean the engine bay up abit towards the summer if I can be arsed lol!
