Default MK1 fiesta 1300sport rebuild, silver UPDATED NOV 2011

Hers my Mk1 fiesta 1300sport, as you can see its having a bit of a rebuild, with a painted underside, its my 3rd ford so progress is slow, spec full repaint inside and out, 50mm lowering springs. pi rear shocks, rally tarmac front shocks massive inserts, fully poly bushed, Mk2 xr2 rear axle, drums etc, grooved and drilled front discs, race pads, braided brake lines, frst seats, carpet but rest stripped out, battery in boot with facet fuel pump, cvh/zetec engine mount conversion, 5 speed conversion, cvh engine yes I know not that cool, should of kept the xflow, but its lightened and balanced bottom end, h/p oil pump, stage 3 ported and polished big valve head, bronze valve guides, big Kent cam 2ND from highest one, solid lifters, double valve springs, adjustable pully. 1600i rocker cover, full silicone hose kit, stage 1 rs turbo clutch, s1 rs turbo gearbox, 158bhp with graphs with a full race head should be 175 plus. probably missed loads out, but a rough idea what it is, just don't no to keep her or not, when done as I'm missing my rs turbo what I sold a few months back, to get crystal blue cosi. I probably love driving it when on the road see what happens next spring, WILL UPLOAD MORE PICS WITH SLOW PROGRESS

Yeah another mk1 fez now sold, but think new owner is selling 50,000 odd miles it done, did have black mk1 xr fez, sold that on to. mk2 fiesta not nice in mk1, but need it for that engine, will get a bespoke water tank, as that is dirty and dont fit nice or get saxo vtr rad as its water tank is built on the side if it.

cheers for the cmments! The twin 45's sound ok, cvh's dont really suck that loud, need a screaming xflow to get the best out of carbs, moneys gone tight again, so looks like it be on hold again this year or most of it :-( I fit the bits ive got, perspex windows, interior and secure the battery and pump in the boot. Think i just tax the cosi so got somethink to take to classic ford show at pod! the cost of living these days are a joke.
